How to create a clock.
Clocks are... Clocks.
They will count seconds... Minutes... And hours...
So what? Well, depending in the hour you could make a more realisctic game, for example, it is late? Make the screen look darker, and so!
This tutorial is based on RMVX but could be done with RMXP.
With RMVV...
Make a parallel trigger event...
So that it will be a working clock all the time.
Now, first, at the start of the game, only one time, you create the next variables:
-SEC.
-MIN.
-HOURS.
In the clock event, follow this:
Code:
Wait 60 frames (1 sec).
Increase SEC by 1.
If SEC = 60 then
Increase MIN by 1.
Set SEC to 0.
If MIN = 60 then
Increase HOUR by 1.
Set MIN to 0.
If HOUR is 24 then
Set HOUR to 0.
NOTE: If you using the RMXP a second is 20 frames.
So if you are using the RMXP don't make it wait 60 frames, make it wait 20 frames.
In RMVX is 60 frames.
And you made a clock system.
Remember to place this clock event in all the maps of your game you want the clock to run.
And, if you want to make a day/night system...
Just add other events to change the bright of the screen depending in the hour.
Good luck!
