How to make your game have date and time *******************

[leadbelly]

I want to know how to make my game have time at the top.
like an actual time. so it can be like 12:30PM
or like 1:12AM

and i want to know how to make a date system. so everytime the clock goes past
midnight, a day goes by in the game. And you can also check the date on a calender.

howww to do !~? :angel:

It can't be done in events. If you can't script, request a script in the right forum. Or, search for a HUD with a clock.

It can. It's a bit hefty and requires knowledge of how events work, and might be better done with coding, but it can be done none the less.

Scripting would be much less of a hassle. I'm no coder, but I did manage to have time show up on the menu on my game:

Spoiler: My Menu

I am using the Advanced Time System by Dubealex and Near Fantastica. With a few edits to Scene_Menu, I replaced the Step Count and Playtime(because who really needs those?) with Time and Date.

class Window_PlayTime2 < Window_Base

def initialize

super(0, 0, 160, 96)

self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)

refresh

end

  def refresh

    return if Graphics.frame_count % 10 != 0

    self.contents.clear

    self.contents.font.color = text_color(0) 

    self.contents.draw_text(20, 26, 120, 32, "Time.: " +$ats.clock)

    self.contents.draw_text(20, 40, 120, 32, "Weather.: " + $ats.weather_is)

  end

def update

super

if Graphics.frame_count / Graphics.frame_rate != @total_sec

refresh

end

end

end

class Window_Steps2 < Window_Base

def initialize

super(0, 0, 160, 96)

self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)

refresh

end

def refresh

self.contents.clear

self.contents.font.color = normal_color

self.contents.draw_text(24, 32, 120, 32, "" +$ats.full_date)

end

end

That's all the help I can offer!
If you're set on a HUD, I can't help you much there.

If you want a hud, a full Day/Night, weather, and dates and such, I would recommend looking into eharper256's Dynamic Time System. It has everything that you asked for in your post so it should be what you are looking for. If you search the site you should find it.

Hope this helps!
