[TFS 1.2] Which function to use

[president vankk]

Hi folks, which function can I use to broadcast a message every 20th of the month and with a random time which can vary from 3 am until 8 pm.

Something with %d, don't know. I was trying read this tutorial but I did not able to make it.

Thanks.

local curdate = os.date("*t")
local changehour = true
if curdate.day > 20 then
    curdate.month = curdate.month%12 + 1
elseif curdate.day == 20 then
    changehour = false
end

curdate.day = 20
curdate.min = 0
curdate.sec = 0
if changehour then
    curdate.hour = 3
elseif curdate.hour < 3 then
    curdate.hour = 3
end

local threeam = os.time(curdate)
curdate.hour = 20
local eightpm = os.time(curdate)
local rd = math.random(threeam, eightpm)

if rd-os.time() > 0 then
    addEvent(broadcastFunction, (rd-os.time())*1000)
    print(string.format("Broadcast set for: %s", os.date("%a %d %B %Y, %H:%M", rd)))
end

On every startup. should work
