[Solved] Time Cycle resets when changing maps

[Gniani]

I created a common event that uses a variable called time, each 600 frames (10 seconds) it increases by 1 (240 seconds to make 24 hours in the game), then another common event using conditions to make time progress, but when i change the map, the cycle resets, time was 10, it will go back to 0, can someone help me fix this?

Hm, I never thought about it, but it seems like Common Events restart on maps. In other words, your 9:Time Common Event starts anew on a new map, so it becomes 0 again.

Anyway, Parallel Processing events loop, and both events can be written in one Common Event given they have the same switches, plus most variables usually start at 0.

For your Time Common Event, just write Wait 600 and Hour Variable += 1, no need for a Loop or multiples of that line. For your Day Night Cycle Common Event, get a conditional branch for Hour >= 24 and simply make Hour = 0 in there. That way, one handles the increment of hours and the other interprets those hours including the fact that 24:00 is 0:00.

Be prepared to hear some people say how the Day/Night cycle can be improved, though.

Thanks! With that i came up with a system that uses a condition, if time = 24, variable time goes back to 0, it doesn't reset that way!
