getNextTime(hour, minute)

[Xikini]

Just had this sitting around.
Figured I might as well post it, someone will probably find it useful.

Mostly useful for storage values, so players know a daily task resets at a specific time, for example.

-- example with storage values
local next1PM = getNextTime(13)
player:setStorageValue(storageKey, next1PM)

if player:getStorageValue(storageKey) > os.time() then
    -- next 1pm hasn't come around
    return false
end

-- To get the next 1 PM
local next1PM = getNextTime(13)
print("The next 6 PM is at timestamp: " .. next1PM)

-- To get the next 7:30 AM
local next730AM = getNextTime(7, 30)
print("The next 7:30 AM is at timestamp: " .. next730AM)

function getNextTime(hour, minute)
    local now = os.time()
    local dateTable = os.date("*t", now)

    dateTable.hour = hour
    dateTable.min = minute or 0
    dateTable.sec = 0

    local targetTime = os.time(dateTable)
    if now > targetTime then
        targetTime = targetTime + (24 * 60 * 60)
    end

    return targetTime
end
