My question is how would I go about making an event change the hour of the time of the day with the call script? I have no idea how to work it so any help would be awesome :)
EDIT : This isnt the full script, so dont try it if you want to use it. Tell me and I'll post the whole thing.
Is that ...?
Could that be the script I'm looking for ?
The day and night script ?
If so I wanna know how to do certain events at night and certain events in the morning.
^^^ I would like to know that too. I should post the full script I guess
Yeah, I need that script. You know like every 7-8 minutes it changes from morning to night. I'd like that.
you are just proving just by how far event clocks and day/night system are better than script ones...
if you are slow and didn't figure it out on your own- freaking use events... -.-
Blue is right, your script doesn't work(you posted in troubleshooting) so events are better
even if the script did work.. and it should work...
if they want things to only happen at day or night time, it's alot easier to use events
Ok cool, But I don't know what buttons to hit day and what buttons to hit night. I also need to put different events during night and morning. That all sounds really hard and it sounds like it could take hours!
Blaze you need to plan n all, an rpg game can't just be finished in 12 minutes.
I thought that once, now i'm very patient, take time.
The more the time, the better the game.
THE MORE(time) THE MERRIER(members who download it)
blaze wants the game to be made for him
he doesn't understand that beyond knowladge there is a need for basic common sense...
you can tell him how to make switches all you want but when asked to trigger a flag that will show an event was done he wouldn't know what you are talking about
could we read my question? the script i posted is only part of it. that one i posted wont work alone, i only posted the part with my question in it. if you can see that the script changes time, I was wondering how I could make a event changing the hour variable, for things such as in a cutscene. this script works perfectly, I'll post the whole thing soon.
*terribly sorry for double post*
All I need here is to know how to call a script changing a local variable (In this case hours..) in the game with a event. (Ex. Change the time with a event...)

The sad thing? Common sense isn't as common as it used to be.
[I'm pretty sure I learned that phrase from a member here...]
I could try to make one, starting tomorrow, probably thursday.
But it'll take a while.
*still doesnt answer my question.
In the script provided there is a variable in it called "hours". This determines the hour that the day is on. Is there a way to use a event, call the script, and change the hour variable? (I dont know if you answer this tho, srry.)
