Time System Help?

[Player1LFG]

After two unsuccessful attempts at tutorial time systems, I've pieced together my own. It starts working just fine, but when I change maps or the minutes go past 10 it resets to 00:00. I started it out with a loop, then into a wait 60 that leads into a control variable [minutes] +1. I made an if statement where if the minutes equal to 60, they reset to 0 and the hour variable increases by +1. Then it repeats from the beginning, or at least it's supposed to. I made a parallel event in the starting area that triggers the cycle, and when I check the clock I made it reads the time well, for example 8:09. As soon as it's supposed to become 8:10, it flashes back to 00:00. This also happens shortly after I transport. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Please show screenshots of your events - somewhere you got it wrong in the logic sequence.


This is especially important because on map changes, events automatically reset and your basic time event needs to be made in a way that it can be reset without changing time.

Thanks! Here's an example of what I've been working on.

That screenshot shows two problems - first that you didn't understand that an event is more than the content, because you cut away the most important information like the trigger.


Please give a full screenshot, not a cropped one.


Second, you shouldn't use a loop for such a methode - parallel processes automatically loop, so that is not needed and will create some timing problems.


That's probably the main reason for your wrong countings.

Thanks! How is this? Is still gives me the same problem.

That should work, with the minute variable counting up once per second (sixty frames are one second).


If it still jumps, then the same variables are used in a different way somewhere else - for example if a plugin uses them and you forgot to configure that plugin correctly.


To test that, simply use different variables that you cannot have used until now. But if it suddenly works with different variables, don't ignore this - you need to find the other events or plugins where those variables are used before they cause other problems and configure everything correctly.
