__________________________________________________ _______








5:00
__________________________________________________ ______

Thanx in advance

Dude, your going into some advanced program stuff.

Be more specific.

-How its executed
-What size should the numbers be
-What type of clock (12 or 24 hr)

things like that. Then, maybe we could get some code going.

Ok sorry. well the numbers should be about _
<-----that big (lol i don't have a ruler)
_
a 12 hours clock would be nice. and for Executed? well like from the start of the game if thats what you mean.

Also, how long would each "hour" be?

Anyway, the basics of it are to set up a Timer and hide it, and have a common event that checks for when the Timer hits zero, advancing the hour and resetting the Timer, but more specifics are needed to tweak it.

Is there a tutorial for Common Events i don't know what they are and how to use them

Try www.gamingw.net they have lots of good (and bad) tutorials. It helped me out a lot when I was first getting started.

Ok thanx man
