Clock NPC
 

Hello, I was wondering if anyone here can make me a Clock NPC that will give the exact time. Here is what i want in it:

-I want it say say the day,hours,minutes, seconds,and AM or PM.
-I want it in the format day hour:minutes:seconds AM/PM
-I want the default time to say Sunday 12:00:00 AM.
-I want it so that the owner of a house can say reset clock and it will reset back to the default.
-I want the time to still work even tho no one is in that level.
-I want it to actually work ^_^.

If there is anything out there that is exactly like this, tell me where i can get it. I need this clock so i can put it in the house i want to make, so people that are paying rent will know exacly when i want my rent :).

the time is already on the server........also with the rent thing...nm ur pretty stupid

geez no one is going to do that much work for you

im not talking about the crappy clock that follows you on the screen, i want it to display real time. I am not stupid, i just don't know how to make npcs very well. I could do this myself if i knew how to create variables, how to increase them or make them say something else at a certain time, and if i knew how to make an npc say all the variables at once.

Ok i managed to script it, sort of. I had to split it into different parts. 1 for day, 1 for hours, 1 for minutes, 1 for AM/PM, and 1 for that flashing : thing. It took long n00b code instead of 1337 short code... does anyone know the code to make it work even tho no one is in that level?

fine fine... I kinda did it myself... here it is:

if (created||strequals(#c,reset clock)) {
setstring this.day,Sunday;
this.hours=12;
this.minutes1=0;
this.minutes2=0;
this.seconds1=0;
this.seconds2=0;
setstring this.ampm,AM;
timeout=0.05;
}
//The Clock Model
if (timeout) {
message #s(this.day) #v(this.hours):#v(this.minutes1)#v(this.minutes2): #v(this.seconds1)#v(this.seconds2) #s(this.ampm);
sleep 0.5;
message #s(this.day) #v(this.hours) #v(this.minutes1)#v(this.minutes2) #v(this.seconds1)#v(this.seconds2) #s(this.ampm);
timeout=0.5;
}



What I need to know now is how do I increase the strings and variables? And how do i set the time to what ever i say (for example: set clock day hours minutes AM/PM, and then i will say set clock Monday 8 23 PM. I want the seconds to start over as well)

hmm
 

ive demised a way to keep it real time based on a starting time....but i need to keep that a secret. I put a lot of thought into this one, lol ;)

if i finish the script, ill let you know.

okies i have another question... how do i split the text into different parts?

for example: setclock #1 #2:#3#4 #6
#1=days, #2=hours, #3+4=minutes, and #6=AM/PM...

So when I say "seclock Sunday 12:00 AM" it will set the clock to Sunday 12:00:00 AM (yes i am aware there is another :00 in there, those are seconds and I want those to reset to 00 each time I change the clock).

In the script I have made, these are the different parts:

server.wd=Days
server.wh=Hours
server.wm1=Minutes1
server.wm2=Minutes2
server.ws1=Seconds1
server.ws2=Seconds2
server.wampm=AM/PM

Here's the code I've given the clock itself.

if (created) {
timereverywhere;
timeout=0.05;
}
if (timeout) {
message #s(server.wd) #v(server.wh) #v(server.wm1)#v(server.wm2) #v(server.ws1)#v(server.ws2) #s(server.wampm)
sleep 0.5;
message #s(server.wd) #v(server.wh):#v(server.wm1)#v(server.wm2):#v(serv er.ws1)#v(server.ws2) #s(server.wampm)
timeout=0.5;
}

I hope the information i have given you will help you to help me :)

Re: hmm
 

well u would have to find the current time divided by 5 .. then that is the timevar value.. and u just add that to the current timevar..
if u wanna do date u have to figure it out based on the date.. it would depend how u do it ...
