Hi, I've got a problem with function getFormattedWorldTime.
I want to create a condition "if server worldtime is 14:35 or above then function runs"

I tried with:
Code: 
if getFormattedWorldTime() >= 1435 then

and I've got this error:
Code: 
attempt to compare string with number

Can you help me?

never used that function but idk how you can compare 14:35 with 1435, ofc that are not the same thing
what about getWorldTime() (?)

The error is saying that the function is expecting a string rather than a number.

Example of usage is for example in a watch, where it will print the in-game time.

E.g
Code: 
"The time is " .. getFormattedWorldTime() .. "."

Haven't used this function before, but try printing its results and see what it returns.

But yes, like @StreamSide is saying, it seems like you're looking for the function "getWorldTime()".

getWorldTime() works different, because this function is counting time when OT is online.

what?

Code: 
function getFormattedWorldTime()
    local worldTime = getWorldTime()
    local hours = math.floor(worldTime / 60)

    local minutes = worldTime % 60
    if minutes < 10 then
        minutes = '0' .. minutes
    end
    return hours .. ':' .. minutes
end
its just getWorldTime() divided again and again

Code: 
function onThink()
if getWorldTime() >= 1435 then
        for i = 1, #t do
                local light = getTileItemById(t[i], 1479).uid
                local light1 = getTileItemById(t[i], 1480).uid
                if(light >= 0) then
                        doTransformItem(light, 1480)
                        doTransformItem(light1, 1480)
                        else
                        return true
                end
        end
        return true
end
end

So I've just launched OT and starts always with time "14:27", I'm waiting for this globalevent and got this: Failed to execute event: Turn lamps on.

There's no table "t" included in this script

Code: 
function getFormattedWorldTime2()
    local worldTime = getWorldTime()
    local hours = math.floor(worldTime / 60)

    local minutes = worldTime % 60
    if minutes < 10 then
        minutes = '0' .. minutes
    end
    return hours .. '' .. minutes
end

I've just added this new function to global.lua and changed from getWorldTime() to getFormattedWorldTime2() and got error:
Code: 
attempt to compare number with string.
My whole globalevent script:
Code: 
local t, msg = {
        {x = 5100, y = 5092, z = 7, stackpos = 2},
        {x = 5129, y = 5091, z = 7, stackpos = 2},
