How to create a working chronological (daily) system for your game!

Ok, this is my first tutorial, EVER. And like that wasn't enough, I'm only 12 years old and come from Sweden >_



This is how my time system(without day/night) works:



Go to the database, go to Common Events, and create an event named Time or something. Change the options to 'parallel process'.

Just copy this stuff and you should be fine.



wait: 0.4s.

variable Change:[####: Seconds] + 1

fork options: if variable[####:seconds]=60

variable change:[####:Second] set 0

variable change:[####:Minute] + 1



end case



fork options: if variable[####: minute]=60

variable change:[####: minute] set 0

variable change:[####: hour] + 1



end case



fork options: if variable[####: hour]=24

variable change:[####: hour] set 0

variable change:[####: day] + 1



end case



fork options: if variable[####: day]=30

variable change:[####: day] set 0

variable change:[####: month] + 1



end case



fork options: if variable[####: month]=12

variable change:[####: month] set 0

variable change:[####: year] + 1



Now, the player maybe want to know what day it is, monday, tuesday... Or the player maybe want to know what year or month it is:



Create a new common event, named Month or something... You must have a hero called Month, or whatever you want... Change the options to 'parallel process'.



fork options: if variable[####: month]= 1

change hero Month's name to January



end case



And so on for every month... But when the year is supposed to start over, write like this:



fork options: if variable[####:month]=13

variable change:[####: month] set 1



end case



Now for days:



Create a new common event called Days... You must have a hero called Day, or something like that atleast... It's your choice... Change the options to 'parallel process'.



fork options: if variable[####: day]= 1

change hero Day's name to Monday



end case



Then the player must be able to look at a clock, write like this then:



Create an item called Clock.... Classify it as a switch item, and choose the switch ####: clock.

Create a new common event called Clock.

Change the options to 'parallel process'.

Fill the appearance Conditions switch, and choose the switch ####: Clock.

Now, the coding:

Message: The time is: \v[Hour]:\v[Minute]:\v[Second] Day: \v[Day]:\n[Hero Month] Year: \v[Year]



Change switch ####: Clock off.



That's it! Hope it works well!
