Computer time?

[mechadude]

Hey everyone! I got a question for a game I'm working on.
I want to make it go from Day to Night, but depending on the actual time of day. Is there a way to read the computer's time and use it to make objects (day sky and night sky) invisible/visible? Thanks!

Use the Date & Time object.
hours of( "Date & Time" )
minutes of( "Date & Time" )
seconds of( "Date & Time" )

Wow, I didn't notice that was there. Thanks a ton!

Be carefull. It depends of what you want to do with this "time".
Maybe you have to use Str$(Hours of("Day & Time")
If you want to use this time, for example 09:03. MMF will gaves you 9:3.

If you're using the computer clock, remember that the user can change it whenever they want. So if you need to base your gameplay around the time of day you might want to use a different method.
