[lilcooldude69]

idk if anyones posted this or not, well it could be used for time systems without having to use a script, but whatever here it is....

[Show/Hide] Common Event

@>Loop

[Show/Hide] Edit for the If minutes are over 60

@>Conditional Branch: Variable [0003:Tmin] > 60
@>Control Variables: [0003: Tmin] -= 60
@>Control Variables: [0002: Thour] += 1
@>
: Branch End

@>Wait: 60 frame(s)
@>Control Variables: [0004: Tsec] += 1
@>Conditional Branch: Variable [0004:Tsec] == 60
@>Control Variables: [0003: Tmin] += 1
@>Control Variables: [0004: Tsec] = 0
@>
: Branch End
@>Conditional Branch: Variable [0003:Tmin] == 60
@>Control Variables: [0002: Thour] += 1
@>Control Variables: [0003: Tmin] = 0
@>
: Branch End
@>Conditional Branch: Variable [0002:Thour] == 24
@>Control Variables: [0002:Thour] = 0
@>
: Branch End
@>
: Repeat Above

Set the Common Event parallel to a switch, and vola, you have a simulated clock, this could be used for a time system in game, like if it was 5 pm in game, it would be dark, or if it was 12 pm in game, it would be day,

Note: this is in game time, this isn't time outside of game, if you turn ur game back on and load a save point, the variables will be the same as they were when you saved.



Edit: changed the hour conditional to 24, idk why i put 12
Edit2: added a conditional to check if the minutes are over 60 if it is then it subtracts 60 minutes and adds 1 to an hour, it checks every second, this could be useful for people that use events to add time to the game time.

Very cool submission that I've actually got questions about A LOT! Now I can just reference this topic instead of telling them every time xD

Simple and useful. But could I just come with a suggestion?
For example changing it to check if the minutes are over 60 and then after that, lower the minutes by 60 and add 1 hour. This way, it the events add 120 to the minutes variable, the game will automaticly change it into 2 hours. Some people might like this more. Just a thought.

hmm so you mean, put in a check that checks to see if the variable is over 60 minutes and if it is, subtract 60 from it and add 1 to the hour variable

edit: i did whatever it is u were asking i hope XD;;

Yeah, you could do it like that too
