Look at the Ex. ( Wiki Page )

function showtime () 
    local time = getRealTime() 
    local hours = time.hour 
    local minutes = time.minute 
    outputChatBox ( "Local Time: "..hours..":"..minutes ) 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "time", showtime )

server

  
function getthetime(player) 
    local hour, minutes = getTime()  
    local Thetimenow[1] = hour, minutes 
    triggerClientEvent ( "store_the_time", getRootElement(), Thetimenow ) 
end 
addCommandHandler("whatisthetime", getthetime) 
 --or  local local Thetimenow[1] = getTime()  
  

client

  
local hour, minutes = 0,0 
addEvent( "store_the_time", true ) 
addEventHandler( "store_the_time", getRootElement(), ready_to_store ) 
function ready_to_store (Thetimenow) 
hour, minutes = Thetimenow[1] 
end 

GetTime

or

  
function getthetime(player) 
    triggerClientEvent ( "store_the_time", getRootElement(), getTime()  ) 
end 
addCommandHandler("whatisthetime", getthetime) 
  

  
local hour, minutes = 0,0 
addEvent( "store_the_time", true ) 
addEventHandler( "store_the_time", getRootElement(), ready_to_store ) 
function ready_to_store (hour2, minutes2) 
hour, minutes = hour2, minutes2 
end 
  

your question is incorrect, or I don't know... I don't get it...

lol 3ήẰÐ was first, his sample is better.

No no, thanks, but what I mean is let's say someone lives in a place where the time is Eastern Time, so they do !Eastern Time and the time for Eastern time show's up? something like that? if it is possible

See 3ήẰÐ his script, that's shows your own time.

(not my lines, just for you to know and not stolen, from the community*)

But:

local realtime=string.format("%02d-%02d", getRealTime().hour, getRealTime().minute) 
  
outputChatBox(string.char(string.byte(realtime, i,i)))

Did you mean this :

function showtime ( thePlayer ) 
    country = exports.admin:getPlayerCountry ( thePlayer ) 
    if country == "Saudi Arabia" or country == "SA" then 
        time = getRealTime ( ) 
        hours = time.hour + 3 
        minutes = time.minute 
        outputChatBox ( "Local Time: "..hours..":"..minutes ) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "time", showtime )
