time

[excaliber7388]

here's my current time/day/night script, I wanted to make it so it was more like real time, and possible modify it so it matched current time in real time. How would I do this?

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if(created||timeout){

  this.seconds=timevar%60;

  this.minutes=int(timevar/60)%60;

  this.hours=int(timevar/3600)%24;

  showimg 888,dr-hourglass.png,293,10;

  showtext 889,316,10,Comic Sans,b,#v(this.hours):#v(this.minutes):#v (this.seconds);

  changeimgvis 888,5;

  changeimgvis 889,5;

  changeimgzoom 888,.85;

    if(this.hours==16) {

      setbackpal dusk1.png;

     }

    if(this.hours==20){

      setbackpal dusk3.png;

     }

    if(this.hours==24){

      setbackpal dusk5.png;

     }

    if(this.hours==1) {

      setbackpal dusk4.png;

     }

    if(this.hours==4) {

      setbackpal dusk3.png;

     }

    if(this.hours==5) {

      setbackpal dusk2.png;

     }

    if(this.hours==6) {

      setbackpal pics1.png;

     }

  timeout=.05;



}

Make a script that counts, I guess.

That, or make creative use of timevar. It increases by one every 5 seconds. Use it to your advantage, boy.

yeah I tried something like int(timevar*.2)%60 but that 'froze' the time

If you want to be the real time, use timevar2,

PHP Code:

timezone = -5; // GMT-5 (EST)
seconds = int(timevar2 % 60);
minutes = int((timevar2 / 60) % 60);
hours = int((timevar2 / (60 * 60)) % 24) + (timezone + 1); 


[excaliber7388]

% 24) + (timezone + 1);

that would change the ammount of hours allowed, and the time, I just need to find out how to change the time

why would you multiply by .2? since it increases by one every five seconds, you'd multiply by 5. Plus timevar is the amount of time passed since the server was up. You would have to find a way around the different days in a month (28,30,31), the leap year increments (.25 day every year)...and etc.

I just need it to count hours and such, the other stuff would be easy to add anyway, I am still having trouble setting the time though. Can you edit the timevar? Or is there another way? Like:

NPC Code:

---

 if(created){

timevar=timevar-2;

}

---

Any help?

o.O err timevar is a builtin variable. the only way to change timevar is reset your server and it will begin counting at 0 again. Use '%' to figure out the minutes, and hours, and such.

No, no, it won't.

Isn't it server uptime?

[excaliber7388]

Hmm, not gonna restart my server anyway XD, but is there a way to modify this, without disabling the ammount for hours min, etc?

you can use another variable:

NPC Code:

---

this.time=timevar-2;

On Classic we have a 24 hour clock for doing accurate day/night. We use timevar2 on clientside (seconds since they turned thier computer on). To change this into somthing synced for everyone, we calculate the offset to the serverside timevar2 (unix time) when they log in, and then adjust for this before calculating the actual time.

Theoretically, everyone is then getting thier times as unix time, give or take a small error for lag reasons.

[excaliber7388]

here's what I'm using right now, but everyone has different times, and I think the time changes when you log on x_X suggestions?

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

if(created||timeout){

  this.hour=timevar2+16*3600;

  this.min=timevar2-24*60;

  this.seconds=int(timevar2)%60;

  this.minutes=int(this.min/60)%60;

  this.hours=int(this.hour/3600)%24;

  showimg 888,dr-hourglass.png,290,10;

  showtext 889,316,10,Comic Sans,b,#v(this.hours):#v(this.minutes):#v(this.sec  onds);

  changeimgvis 888,5;

  changeimgvis 889,5;

  changeimgzoom 888,.85;

  if(isonmap){  

    if(this.hours==16&&this.hours<20) {

      setbackpal dusk1.png

    }

    if(this.hours=>17&&this.hours<20){

      setbackpal dusk3.png

    }

    if(this.hours=>20&&this.hours<24){

      setbackpal dusk4.png

    }

    if(this.hours==24){

      setbackpal dusk5.png

    }

    if(this.hours=<3) {

      setbackpal dusk4.png

    }

    if(this.hours==4) {

      setbackpal dusk3.png

    }

    if(this.hours==5) {

      setbackpal dusk1.png

    }

    if(this.hours=>6&&this.hours<16) {

      setbackpal pics1.png

    }

  }

  if(!isonmap){setbackpal pics1.png}

  timeout=.05;



}

Time changes when you log in, different times for everyone x_X bad
