I am trying to create a clock for my game. However, I am having difficulty making the clock consistent. Depending on where I am in the game, the time will change faster or slower. Right now all I do is have variables for minutes, seconds, etc, and on every loop through main, i update the variables. I use wait() to slow down the clock from running too fast. However, I think it's those same wait() statements (in other functions) that are making the clock inconsistent.

Is there any way I can use the system time to make my own clock? Are there any examples of this?

My clock needs to start at 7:00 AM and go to 7:00 PM at which the game ends. But the game shouldn't last more than 20 minutes.

Any ideas?

Yes, look into the Manual "sys_seconds/Minutes/Hours/Days/weeks/month/year" This shows you the Time/Date of ure PC.

EDIT:
Use wait(-Value); for the waiting Time. Set FPS_Max=30; into the Main Function for a constant FPS

i would use sleep instead of wait cause sleep is a set amount of time and wait depends greatly on the speed of your computer.

schau dir mal des an:

-------------------
code

function clock()
{
//HOUR,MINUTES,SECONDS
str_for_num(clock_string, SYS_HOURS);
str_cat(clock_string, ":");
IF (SYS_MINUTES < 10)
{str_cat(clock_string, "0");}

str_for_num(temp_string, SYS_MINUTES);
str_cat(clock_string, temp_string);
str_cat(clock_string, ":");
IF (SYS_SECONDS < 10)
{str_cat(clock_string, "0");}

str_for_num(temp_string, SYS_SECONDS);
str_cat(clock_string, temp_string);

//DAY,MONTH,YEAR
str_for_num(date_string, sys_day);
str_cat(date_string,".");
IF (sys_month < 10)
{ str_cat(date_string,"0");}
str_for_num(temp_string, sys_month);
str_cat(date_string,temp_string);
str_cat(date_string, ".");
str_for_num(temp_string, sys_year);
str_cat(date_string, temp_string);
}


das noch in eine while 1 +wait1 schleife packen und fertig ist die uhr.

ps. alle strings ... musst du noch am anfang vom skript einführen! ich habe 2 texte! für datum und uhr!
