getTime help

[marty000123]

Hello

function zombieChange()
    local timehour, timeminute = getTime()
    if timehour == 12 then
    outputChatBox( "works", player, 255, 0, 255 )
    end
end

It doesn't work. Help would be appreciated.

It basically needs to put out ''works'' when it's 12:00 ingame time. But I think that was already clear

Well, where is that function being called?

Is that client side or server side code?

If client side:

function zombieChange()
    local timehour, timeminute = getTime()
    if timehour == 12 then
    	outputChatBox( "works", 255, 0, 255 ) -- No need to add player here, as it a client script it will only show the output for the client it self.
    end
end

If server side:

function zombieChange(player) -- Add player argument here
    local timehour, timeminute = getTime()
    if timehour == 12 then
    	outputChatBox( "works", player, 255, 0, 255 ) -- Show the output only for the player who called the function.
    end
end

And also if its a server side code, where did you call it?

Both don't work.

The only thing I see is that there's no event handler so it doesn't know when to execute the function. I'd advise you to make it client side and put onClientRender as the event handler. Then when the time comes it'll display the chatbox. If it still doesn't work I don't know as your code looks ok.
