easy way to convert a single counter into H/M/S

[method72]

I am using a global value Z and every second i add 1 to it. I then assign that value to counterX
i want to display a result in Hours/Mins/Secs
So i am trying to figure out the easiest way..

Perhaps i need to set up 3 counters, do several divisions and check for a seconds or minute counter greater then 60 then keep dividig it down.. etc. I have checked out the current list of extensions and did not see one specifically for this, but perhaps someone else has already done it and can share it and save me some time.

thanks

Hi Sam.

In-game Clock:
You're making a simple overworld exploration game and you would like to give the game its own time. The time will be spread across multiple frames. You also want the time pause during conversations and while the player is in a building. which are also in seperate frames.

Set up a counter system, one for hours and one for minutes. Keep the values in Global Values so that the counters will keep there values accross the frames. Then set up events in the Event Editor to update the clock every hours and minutes/hours on the frames in which you want time to advance. This gives you your world clock and you can run events from it for different times of day and night.
