How can you get your Playtime to show up in dialogue?

[Zetriax]

I have been looking around, but I haven't found any tips or scripts for getting your total playtime to show up in dialogue. It would be cool to be able to have a conditional branch based on game time, but all I'm really looking for the time to show up.

Example:
The main character says, "Excuse me, how long have I been here?"
Second character says, "Oh, about hh:mm."

(I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so correct me if I need to move the post.)

Use control variable command to load play time (default game data Option) into the variable, then use text code in show text to display it.

If you are that new to the engine that you don't know how to handle variables, I suggest you follow the link to the starting point in my signature and work through those tutorials.

Thank you very much for the help. I've been experimenting with this program casually for years but rarely got into variables. Just about everything I know about how to work the program is throughtrial and error.

Also, sorry for posting in the wrong area.
