    This script makes the time in game uses its own clock that only pass when you are in game instead of using real time (like Minecraft and Zelda: Ocarina of Time).

    Tested on Essentials v13, v17.2, v18.1, v19.1, v20, v20.1 and v21.1. If this script isn't working on latest Essentials version, please inform on this thread.

    When the player sleeps you wish to the time in game advance
    # 8 hours, so put in NTN_EXTRASECONDS a game variable number and sum
    # 28800 (60*60*8) in this variable every time that the players sleeps.
    NTN_EXTRASECONDS=-1
    NTN_EXTRADAYS=-1
    Click to expand...
    So, if you make NTN_EXTRASECONDS=87 and sum 21600 into variable 87, the time will pass six hours.

    Ok, thanks (I guess I did not notice that comment part).
    I just don't understand what is ''sum''? example in 28800, 60*60*8 is the sum?

    And what if I want the player to choose to skip to the morning or the night?
    Do the script will be difficult to call?

    Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

    Just add 21600 (6 hours in seconds) to variable 87, you can even use event scripts.

    For forcing to the player pass the time until it reach into a certain time, there serveral ways, three examples (the first is the worst) that make the player going into 6:00:00 PM (both are doable with events, but I use scripts for better performance).

    Code: 
    hour = 18 # 0..23
min = 0
sec = 0 
timeNow = pbGetTimeNow
while (timeNow.hour != hour &&
    timeNow.min != min && 
    timeNow.sec != sec)
  $game_variables[87]+=1
  timeNow = pbGetTimeNow
end

    Code: 
    hour = 18 # 0..23
min = 0
sec = 0
timeNow = pbGetTimeNow
secInDay = 60*60*24
timeDifference = Time.new(
  timeNow.year, timeNow.mon, timeNow.day,
  hour, min, sec)
timeDifference += secInDay # Add a day
secondsAdded = (timeDifference-timeNow)%secInDay
$game_variables[87]+=secondsAdded

    Code: 
    hour = 18 # 0..23
min = 0
sec = 0
timeNow = pbGetTimeNow
secInDay = 60*60*24
secNow = pbGetTimeNow.hour*60*60+pbGetTimeNow.min*60+pbGetTimeNow.sec
secWished = hour*60*60+min*60+sec
timeDifference += secInDay # Add a day
secondsAdded = secWished-secNow
secondsAdded +=secInDay if secondsAdded<0
$game_variables[87]+=secondsAdded

    All untested.

    Thanks! I used to make work the time pass in a Pokecenter meanwhile, basicly when you heal your Pokemon in a Pokecenter, one hour pass per Pokemon in your team (If you have 2 poke, 2 hours pass, etc) Anyways these script will help me alot since I try so many things to skip to a specific time and none of them work.

    Thanks again FL and sorry for my bad english

    When you say paste this script above main, do you mean make a new script above main, or paste this within the main script?

    Make a new script above main, but both actually work.

    I went into the printable version, copied the code and added it to my game as instructed but for some reason it seems to DISABLE the day/night system instead of speeding it up. The tones of the game no longer change no matter how long I leave it running for.

    Is it possible to create a Persona 3/4 time system from this script?
    Click to expand...

    Not the original poster but the persona 3/4 time system is pretty much not related to actual time (as in hours, minutes and seconds) but rather to a calendar that splits each day into Morning, Evening and Night (also Dark Hour if you consider it). Point is, every "piece" of the day has virtually unlimited actual time until the protagonist does something.

    Would you know of a script that does this?

    Click to expand...
    Call script:

    Code: 
    t=pbGetTimeNow.strftime("%I:%M %p")
Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("{1} is the time.",t))

    OR, you can store in a variable, like 87 and call using '\v[87]' (without quotes) at message system after the script call:

    Code: 
    t=pbGetTimeNow.strftime("%I:%M %p")
$game_variables[87]=t

    • Is it possible to show the time on the loading screen?
    I tried it with "pbGetTimeNow.strftime" but got an error in line 81 in the "Unreal Time Script". I guess this only works in-game, since the same line is used in the Pokégearscript to show the time on the Pokégear.
    Is there another way to show the time on the loading screen?

    pbGetTimeNow uses both $PokemonGlobal and $game_variables that aren't loaded yet. You need to change the 'def pbGetTimeNow' into

    Code: 
    def pbGetTimeNow(pokemonGlobal=nil,game_variables=nil)
  pokemonGlobal||=$PokemonGlobal
  game_variables||=$game_variables
    And change every other $PokemonGlobal on this method to pokemonGlobal and game_variables to $game_variables.

    After that, you need to call, in the title screen (or PokemonLoadPanel) call this method with the two previous loaded arguments. For this, in 'def pbTryLoadFile' load these two variables (keep note on Marshal data order that can be seen in def pbStartLoadScreen) and by two more methods, PokemonLoadScene.pbStartScene and PokemonLoadPanel constructor. Assign into a global variable in this last one and call it into the draw method.
