[Scripting Question] Time and Date on the Screen

Kairyla said:
i added it but i get still the same error, I don't know why...
Oh, has it something to do with unreal time System?

Oh! 'getHour' is a code of Ego13 and this variable you don't call will give you a error. 'Unreal time System' is a difference calculation, it work and don't give a error, just change calculation time.

Ok, if you don't know how to add script when you read my post above, this is a example script you will need add and you can change this if you want:

Code: 
    hourreal = pbGetTimeNow.hour
    minreal = pbGetTimeNow.min

    @sprites["newsprite"] = Sprite.new(@viewport)
    @sprites["newsprite"].bitmap = Bitmap.new(Graphics.width, Graphics.height)
    @sprites["newsprite"].bitmap.clear
    
    pbSetSystemFont(@sprites["newsprite"].bitmap)
    textposition = []
    textposition.push([_INTL("{1} - {2} - {3}",Time.now.day.to_i,Time.now.month.to_i,Time.now.year.to_i),5,7,0,Color.new(198,228,61),Color.new(158,180,57)])
    if hourreal >= 10
      if minreal >= 10
        textposition.push([_INTL("{1}:{2}",Time.now.hour.to_i,Time.now.min.to_i),167,7,2,Color.new(246,211,105),Color.new(212,183,96)])
      else 
        textposition.push([_INTL("{1}:0{2}",Time.now.hour.to_i,Time.now.min.to_i),167,7,2,Color.new(246,211,105),Color.new(212,183,96)])
      end
    else
      if minreal >= 10
        textposition.push([_INTL("0{1}:{2}",Time.now.hour.to_i,Time.now.min.to_i),167,7,2,Color.new(246,211,105),Color.new(212,183,96)])
      else
        textposition.push([_INTL("0{1}:0{2}",Time.now.hour.to_i,Time.now.min.to_i),167,7,2,Color.new(246,211,105),Color.new(212,183,96)])
      end
    end
    pbDrawTextPositions(@sprites["newsprite"].bitmap,textposition)

No, it's wrong code:
Code: 
pbDrawTextPositions(@clock["clock"].bitmap,textPositions)
It must do this:
Code: 
pbDrawTextPositions(@sprites["clock"].bitmap,textPositions)
And above, you set @sprites["clock"], too.

and why you put
Code: 
hourreal = pbGetTimeNow.hour
near pbDrawTextPositions, check again my post and do it like that. If you have a error when you do it, tell me.

Yes! Your change isn't compatible and it's wrong.

Errorcode:

where you put my code? I don't know you use what version. If you use v17.x and use modular Menu, the script of Luka S.J., you put my code after this line
"@sprites["scroll"].end_y = (Graphics.height - 204)/2"
Ok, now try it.

For unreal time, it just change some conditions but I think if you don't know how to work, maybe, you don't use unreal time or you don't use my code.

It's very nice.
 
To anyone seeing/using this thread in the future: in Kairyla's last post about changing Time.now to pbGetTime.now, I couldn't get it to work until I changed all instances of Time.now to pbGetTimenow - without the period in between Time and now. Thanks Kairyla and bo4p for having this conversation in the first place, it was a huge help to me.

I also put an image behind the time shown on the start menu, and added a Morning/Day/Night notifier. I'd be happy to post my code for that if anyone is interested in it.
 
Hey. I know this is from a long time ago, but I just started getting into Essentials now. Would you be able to post that finished code? I am having trouble trying to follow the above conversation and where to put it into the Modular Menu Script.
