Timevar: Minutes/Hours/Days/Months/Years
 

I decided to play w/ timevar yesterday, and it took me a bit to come up with the following, but I find it may be helpful for others if they intend to do some sort of server time system :)

NPC Code:

---

if (created || timeout)

{ this.minutes=timevar*5/60;

  for (m=0;this.minutes>60;m++)

  { this.minutes=this.minutes-60;}

  this.hours=timevar*5/60/60;

  for (h=0;this.hours>24;h++)

  { this.hours=this.hours-24;}

  showimg 237,@@bc@#v(this.hours):#v(this.minutes),screenwid  th/3,screenheight/screenheight+40;

  changeimgzoom 237,0.8;

  changeimgvis 237,4;

  timeout=0.05;

}

---

it should ALL be clientsided btw, I don't know if timevar works clientside yet because I haven't been home to test anything, I've done this ALL at school today, enjoy, you're welcome BTW.

I just tested that offline......it was all screwed up, the time that is, PLUS it was LAGGY as hell....it's pretty bad when a script is THAT laggy OFFLINE

i tried that too
 

Since someone brought up timevar,
here is what I did with it.

reply what you will about it.

one thing i ask is that
if you have a gripe or complaint then
you MUST also post a suggested fix,
even if its in plain english or algorithm-ish.

whoa
 

cool and i think prozac is in the running for best sig award =D

prozac, look into string arrays, instead of having to set a string for each month, do
setstring this.months,January,February,March,April,May,June, July,August,September,October,November,December;
and use a var to get the month
#I(this.months,0) = January

LOL, I did say however I didn't test the script. I didn't quite realize it couldn't process math quite like that =P I altered it a bit using w/ Commands, and it takes FOREVER to just CHUNK down the hours x.X So it sux0rz, he he.
