I've been having issues with games that require a lot of physics such as Ro-Sports. There seems to be a lot of delay on the reaction times of an object and I was wondering. Is there any way only people from X region such as North American/South American/Europe etc, can only join that place. It seems the delay come when people for different regions are in 1 place, I've noticed this difference when Europeans are unable to join my games because either really late for them or festive days that Europeans don't have (I'm from U.S). I want to be able to restrict my place for only North Americans because I've been really having a bad experience with all the delay. Please if theres any way please inform me, It would totally change my experience and probably make it great again.

Compare the os.time(). If it's not in one of three standard time zones, kick the player.

I had my description a little off. I meant to say tick. tick() will find the local timezone's time (note:not the timezone) in seconds.

os.time(Table) finds a global time (UTC), and if you give it a table as an argument, it will return a table with the following components:
year
month
day
hour
min
second
idst

You would find the hour of the tick (I'm sure you can find an equation for it) and compare it to the os.time

Thanks for the help, I'll attempt to figure this out. Might have to ask some friends to help me out. Thanks!
