CPU CLOCK

[Ducati]

I have been using RM since 95 and since i was 13...im now 21
and i quit for almost 3 years but i remember when rmxp came out
i was working on a game that used real time triggers/switches

for example when your CPU clock (real time) was 12:00am
it would turn on a switch "12:00am"
then 12:30am another switch...and turn off the 12:00am (FOR EVERY 30 MINUETS OR HOUR)
so....when you open up rmxp whatever time of day it is in real life it is the same in game.

I requested this script a long time ago and got it so i know its possible..
anyone think they could do that?

p.s. I was the creator of Dementia Preacox if anyone remembers that game.
Sad that i quit for so long i can barely remember half of what i was capable of befor.

I believe you might find use of Mr. Trickster's Time System V2.0 http://www.rmxp.org/forums/showthread.php?t=17788

But I haven't used it to see Just going off the quote under the forum script listings
http://www.rmxp.org/forums/showpost.php?p=38756 <- Time Scripts

This allows your game to have time. Also includes a simple Day Night System. And Also you can setup events that happen at a certain time (ex. at 0 to 6 minutes past each hour, or on Tuesday March 20, 2007 at 3:00 PM to 4:00 the same day and year), This script wasn't meant to be an exact copy of our calendar (you can only set up a month to be 30 days and not vary by month), but well enjoy.

thanks but that wouldn't do...thats just a game clock not an actual real time clock. taking from your CPU internal clock

You could set up a common event with something like this in a Call Script:

for i in 1..48
  $game_switches[i] = false
end
t = Time.now
intervals = ((t.min + (t.hour * 60)) / 30).to_i
$game_switches[intervals + 1] = true

This will turn off switches 1-48, then set the correct one to true based on the time of day. If it is 12:00AM Midnight, it should set Switch 1 to true, if it is 12:30, it should set Switch 2 to true, and so on until 11:30 PM, which should be Switch 48.

So throw that into a Common Event set to Parallel Process.. My suggestion would be to put that in a Conditional Branch that has the condition "Script: Graphics.frame_count % (Graphics.frame_rate * 3) == 0" which is on the last page of the Conditional Branch setup.

So the parallel process would look something like this:

> Conditional Branch [Script: Graphics.frame_count % (Graphics.frame_rate * 3) == 0]
: > Call Script: for i in 1..48
        $game_switches[i] = false
      end
      t = Time.now
      intervals = ((t.min + (t.hour * 60)) / 30).to_i
      $game_switches[intervals + 1] = true
> End Conditional Branch
