I want to know, is it possible to:
Can the lua read the real time in my computer?
"Read" the time, not "Show" the time
Example:
If the time 12:00 AM, it will do something

1
2
3

if os.date("%I:%M %p")=="12:00 AM" then
--blablabla
end

Something like that, i cant describe more

So is it possible to do this?
If it possible, i want to know how

Thx before

Please, DC, disable os-like functions in Lua, I'm so tired of these endless exploits.

It is possible. But it only reads the real time on the server (since Lua code is only run on the server). You can't read the client side real time.

Yea, save systems are complete and utter exploits. Holy shit look how much they exploit.

oxytamine: Scripts run on the server side only. Just check scripts written by others before you use them and your are safe. Also never run your server as root. Create a new user who only has access to the cs2d folder. This way you are pretty safe even if you don't check the scripts before using them (which I still wouldn't recommend though).
