I suppose you could actually do this with a multiboard lol. You could just do the time manually - storing seconds, minutes, and hours into variables and increment them / display them with a trigger.

This is how I keep track of my current game time.
I don't feel like explaining this, I think you can figure out this by yourself.

  • Game Time
    • Events
      • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • S0 Equal to 9
        • Then - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • S1 Equal to 5
              • S0 Equal to 9
            • Then - Actions
              • Set S0 = 0
              • Set S1 = 0
              • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                • If - Conditions
                  • M0 Equal to 9
                • Then - Actions
                  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    • If - Conditions
                      • M1 Equal to 5
                      • M0 Equal to 9
                    • Then - Actions
                      • Set M0 = 0
                      • Set M1 = 0
                      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                        • If - Conditions
                          • H0 Equal to 9
                        • Then - Actions
                          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            • If - Conditions
                              • H1 Equal to 5
                              • H0 Equal to 9
                            • Then - Actions
                              • Set H0 = 0
                              • Set H1 = 0
                            • Else - Actions
                              • Set H1 = (H1 + 1)
                          • Set H0 = 0
                        • Else - Actions
                          • Set H0 = (H0 + 1)
                    • Else - Actions
                      • Set M1 = (M1 + 1)
                  • Set M0 = 0
                • Else - Actions
                  • Set M0 = (M0 + 1)
            • Else - Actions
              • Set S1 = (S1 + 1)
          • Set S0 = 0
        • Else - Actions
          • Set S0 = (S0 + 1)

what type is variables S0 , M0 , H0?
And how to show this in map? (time window)
i'm noob.. sorry
i can only take from another map :/
is hard for a beginner
He just made it multiboard friendly, not user friendly necesary

I can make it simpler example for you. You really only need 3 integer variables for seconds, minutes and hours.



Add this into init trigger

This is an example
  • Multiboard - Create a multiboard with 3 columns and ((Number of players in Players) + 4) rows, titled |c000000c3Empire Stats|r
  • Set MultiBoardTimerPos = ((Number of players in Players) + 4)
  • // MultiBoardTimerPos is an example how to put timer at a certain place at multiboard, its a number value
  • Set multiboard1 = (Last created multiboard)
Main trigger

  • GameTime1hour
    • Events
      • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set GameTimeElapsedSec = (GameTimeElapsedSec + 1)
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • GameTimeElapsedSec Greater than 59
        • Then - Actions
          • Set GameTimeElapsedSec = (GameTimeElapsedSec - 60)
          • Set GameTimeElapsedMin = (GameTimeElapsedMin + 1)
        • Else - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • GameTimeElapsedMin Greater than 59
        • Then - Actions
          • Set GameTimeElapsedMin = (GameTimeElapsedMin - 60)
          • Set GameTimeElapsedHour = (GameTimeElapsedHour + 1)
        • Else - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • GameTimeElapsedSec Less than 10
          • GameTimeElapsedMin Less than 10
        • Then - Actions
          • Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard1 item in column 1, row MultiBoardTimerPos to (((String(GameTimeElapsedHour)) + :0) + ((String(GameTimeElapsedMin)) + (:0 + (String(GameTimeElapsedSec)))))
        • Else - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • GameTimeElapsedSec Less than 10
            • Then - Actions
              • Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard1 item in column 1, row MultiBoardTimerPos to (((String(GameTimeElapsedHour)) + :) + ((String(GameTimeElapsedMin)) + (:0 + (String(GameTimeElapsedSec)))))
            • Else - Actions
              • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                • If - Conditions
                  • GameTimeElapsedMin Less than 10
                • Then - Actions
                  • Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard1 item in column 1, row MultiBoardTimerPos to (((String(GameTimeElapsedHour)) + :0) + ((String(GameTimeElapsedMin)) + (: + (String(GameTimeElapsedSec)))))
                • Else - Actions
                  • Multiboard - Set the text for multiboard1 item in column 1, row MultiBoardTimerPos to (((String(GameTimeElapsedHour)) + :) + ((String(GameTimeElapsedMin)) + (: + (String(GameTimeElapsedSec)))))
