Bug with os.date() (1 Viewer)

[Pastis444]

So, I have this basic code, but everytime I execute it, it add 1 to the number of hour idk why.

starttime = os.time()
times = true
while times do
    print(os.date('%X', os.time() - starttime))
    wait(0.1)
end

os.date() returns local time according to your system locale. You are probably in timezone UTC+1 for hour to start with 1.

In function os.date() you can specify to use UTC by using prefix ! before your %X like this !%X. Try this:

starttime = os.time()
while true do
    print(os.date('!%X', os.time() - starttime))
    wait(0.1)
end
