[Question] Set my own Time/Date

[Citycat17]

I wanted to know if there is a way to set the date and time at the beginning of the game instead of letting it be based off the computer. Time would still be based off of real hours/minutes/days. The reason I want to do this is because I want there to be a mechanic where if the player uses Dialga's Roar of time they can change the time and day to whatever they want. Kind of like when Link uses the ocarina of time.

I don't know what version of Essentials you are using, but in v18, I could modify the function:

def pbGetTimeNow

Actually don't modify it, rewrite it in the Ruby-style:

alias __essentials__pbGetTimeNow pbGetTimeNow # This is a kind of duplicate for the original function
def pbGetTimeNow # Your rewriting
  time_now = __essentials__pbGetTimeNow # First call the 
  new_time = nil 
  
  # Now write your code to modify new_time as you wish
  
  return new_time ? new_time : time_now # if you did something with new_time, return it, otherwise return the default value.
end

Thanks for the reply. I'm using v20. I'll give it a try.
