Compare to Time?

[Jdsfrog]

I'm making this game with big levels, but I want it so that if the time is, say, past 6:00 P.M. the game changes the sky to monotone, like night-time. Is there a way to do this? I tried to do the 'Compare to to general Values', retrieved data from the button that says 'Retrieve Hours', then in the other box I put '6', as if 6:00. Though I don't think that would work. That seems like it would be after 6 hours, the sky will change. Is there a way to coorindate the current real-time with your game? Thanx.

Use the DateTime object. You can retrieve the hour time with it and then program your game accordingly.

That's what I used. Then I did "Retrieve hours" with the 'Compare to two general Values', and I put 'Greater or Equals' then I put 6, like 6:00 PM, but it seems like that would only make the sky change after 6 hours of play.:S

Does it use a 12 hour format or 24 hour format?

[Jdsfrog]

Well, I have it set on 24 hour, which coordinates with the time on your computer.

if its 24hours then you will need to put in 1800 as thats 6pm

if you just use 6 then it will think 6AM!
