Time Of Day Clock

[Garylau]

How i make "Time of day" as a clock by GUI ?(Like shown in-game time played)

You cannot access the system of a computer wih raw WC3.
You can however set the day duration to a full 24h (86400 seconds) day.
You can make a player be able to set the time of the day with triggers and so you can simulate the Time of Real Day.

You have to give a player the right to change the day and I assume that that is not exacly how you wanted it. I think you want to restrict people to play at a certain time to achieve something.

shown in-game time

peace of cake.

• Events
  • Time - Every 1 sec of game Time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set TimeCounterInteger = TimeCounterInteger + 1

you can now display this with a timerdialog

In case if you doesen't refered to REAL time BUT the day time.
then you can still do the same if you know what is the day-time speed
you can set it via trigger
if the speed is like 10min for a total day (for e.g.)
then 10min=24h(ingame)=1440min(ingame)
then 1min=144min(ingame)=8640sec(ingame)
then 1sec=144sec(ingame)
changes

• Set DayTimeCounter=DayTimeCounter+144

display with timer dialog

for the second version I think only h and min should be displayed . U can separate variables for the display mechanic instead of using one

• Set DayTimeCounterM = DayTimeCounterM + 2
• Set DayTimeCounterS = DayTimeCounterS + 24
• If -
  • Conditions
    • Condition DayTimeCounterS Greater then 59
  • Then - Actions
    • Set DayTimeCounterS = DayTimeCounterS - 60
    • Set DayTimeCounterM = DayTimeCounterM +1

Same for hour
if DayTimeCounterM>59 then
Set DayTimeCounterM = DayTimeCounterM - 60
Set DayTimeCounterH = DayTimeCounterH +1

Why not pick every player in map and
(If/Then/Else)
If player food used equal to 59

Then,
Add 1 to lumber
Set player food used to 0

Else,
Add 1 to food used

Why don't like this?

Food is needed for my game . I can just only use the "time of day" to show how long the player played.Anyway ,thanks for your helping.

Normal daytime = daytime as we seen in any map . HLD game time is different , it shown how long we played the game . Etc , you have started game minute , there will shown
Hours : Minutes
0:2
Like a timer count how long we playing.

set the daytime speed equal to the real life time --->

@wietlol You can however set the day duration to a full 24h (86400 seconds) day.

then at map start set time of day to 00:00

thats it

That would remove lumber as well from the usable resources, so it is not viable.

That possible to done , but how come if my time is 00:59 ? Next second must be turn into 1:00 .Can you show me in GUI ? Thanks for you helped !

Go to the terrain editor then go Advanced -> Gameplay Constants. Way down at the bottom you see Time - Real seconds per day time. Set it to 86400.
I think that the game always starts at 00:00 but if that is not true, then make a trigger for map initialization or add an action to an exising map initialization trigger "Game - Set time of day 0.00".

That should do the trick.

 

[Vinz]

With the melee initialization action it starts at 6:00. Without it, it starts at 24:00.

 

[Wietlol]

I always delete the standard init XD

That's right , but the time can only contain 00:00 until 24:00 how i extend it ?

The way you give is in Hour and minute , i needed is Minute and second . BTW , i have done it in minute and second! Thanks for your helped .

 

[Wietlol]

In the gameplay constants again, go to the bottom and you see "Time - hours per day" (or something like that)
Change it to whatever you want.

Yea . I try this before but the time still stuck at 24:00 however that "hours per day " is 1000 or any .

It can't be extended, nor would it fit with the UI animation if it were able to.

Can i change the setting of UI via mpq editor ?
