Time Variable Question

[mylafter]

I'm currently using this script that sets up a time system with variables.
You can find the thread of the script here.
You can find the actual script here.

On line 81, it says, "FRAMES_TIL_UPDATE = 60". So it takes 60 frames(1 second) for time to update/change to the next minute. I was wondering if there were a way to change the frame mid-way throughout the game. (Maybe through a script call or something, I don't know.)

An example to help further explain, I have a day and night system going on. So from 6AM-7PM the frames go at 200. But from 8PM and onward I want the frames to increase to 300 frames. The script only allows you to have one specified number for the frames throughout the entire game. Is there a way to change it midway, is my question. Hopefully that made sense. If you have any questions or of you're confused, please let me know.

Would you be against controlling it through another game variable? If not, then replace def self.time_manager with this:

  #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  #Start of Time Manager--------------------------------------------------------
  #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def self.time_manager
    init_var
    unless time_stop?
      if $sel_time_frame == $game_variables[FRAMES_TIL_UPDATE]
        prog_minute
        prog_hour if $game_variables[MIN] >= 60
        prog_day if $game_variables[HOUR] >= 24 && $game_variables[MIN] == 0
      end
      $sel_time_frame += 1
    end
  end
  #-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haven't tested if it works, though.
If you want to quickly initialize the variable in the script, you want to add a line in def self.init_var above show_tint and show_weather:
$game_variables[FRAMES_TIL_UPDATE] = valuehere

I'm sorry, but I don't understand how that answers my question. I think you interpreted my post wrong. Or maybe I just don't understand. What exactly does "$game_variables[FRAMES_TIL_UPDATE]" do differently from what it originally was before? It seems to be doing the same thing as the original script. It only gives me one option for the frame amount. I want a way to change the amount of frames updating the time mid-way through the game.

You can control the amount of frames by controlling the number of a set variable.
ex:

So now, you can change it anytime during the game. That's if my code edits work, at least.

Ahh, I see. It works perfectly! Thank you so much!
