Hi, I’m making a clock with a scene for a Certain time of the day but there is a problem where then is expected near is but when I do it says the same thing.

function setup()
    if os.time() is 7.00 until 19.00 then do
        sprite("Platformer Art:Cloud 1", 800, 600)
        sprite("Platformer Art:Cloud 2", 300, 300)
        sprite("Platformer Art:Cloud 3", 400, 200)
        
        fill(254, 255, 0, 255)
        ellipse(200, 650, 150, 150)
        
        end

@kirorp You need to use os.date to get hours, minutes etc. Also, your if statement is wrong.


function setup()   
    d=os.date("*t")
    print(d.hour)
    print(d.min)
end

@kirorp Try this.

function setup()
end

function draw()
    background(40,40,50)
    d=os.date("*t")
    if d.hour >=7 and d.hour<=19 then
        sprite("Platformer Art:Cloud 1", 800, 600)
        sprite("Platformer Art:Cloud 2", 300, 300)
        sprite("Platformer Art:Cloud 3", 400, 200)
        fill(254, 255, 0, 255)
        ellipse(200, 650, 150, 150)
    end
end

@kirorp Or you can use this if you want to use hours and minutes.


function setup()
end

function draw()
    background(40,40,50)
    d=os.date("*t")
    hm=d.hour*100+d.min
    if hm >=715 and hm<=1923 then
        sprite("Platformer Art:Cloud 1", 800, 600)
        sprite("Platformer Art:Cloud 2", 300, 300)
        sprite("Platformer Art:Cloud 3", 400, 200)
        fill(254, 255, 0, 255)
        ellipse(200, 650, 150, 150)
    end
end
