A 24 hour string representation of the current time of day used by Lighting.

Note, this property does not correspond with the actual time of day and will not change during the game unless it has been changed by a script.

For a numeric measure of Lighting’s time use Lighting/ClockTime. Changing Lighting/ClockTime or using Lighting/SetMinutesAfterMidnight will also change this property.

Using TimeOfDay requires the time to be normalized and a string formatted:

minutesAfterMidnight = 0
while true do
	minutesAfterMidnight = minutesAfterMidnight + 1

	local minutesNormalised = minutesAfterMidnight % (60 * 24)
	local seconds = minutesNormalised * 60
	local hours = string.format("%02.f", math.floor(seconds/3600))
	local mins = string.format("%02.f", math.floor(seconds/60 - (hours*60)))
	local secs = string.format("%02.f", math.floor(seconds - hours*3600 - mins *60))
	local timeString = hours..":"..mins..":"..secs

	Lighting.TimeOfDay = timeString

	wait()
end

Using Lighting/ClockTime requires the time to be normalized:

minutesAfterMidnight = 0
while true do
	minutesAfterMidnight = minutesAfterMidnight + 1

	local minutesNormalised = minutesAfterMidnight % (60 * 24)
	local hours = minutesNormalised / 60

	Lighting.ClockTime = hours

	wait()
end

Using Lighting/SetMinutesAfterMidnight requires no extra processing:

minutesAfterMidnight = 0
while true do
	minutesAfterMidnight = minutesAfterMidnight + 1

	Lighting:SetMinutesAfterMidnight(minutesAfterMidnight)

	wait()
end
