Clock/Time in GS (08:00 am)

NMansell

Is there a way to create a clock/time in Game Salad which could grab the phone system time - so 08:30 am etc etc

giacomopoppi

Nope, not yet

Me too! It would be cool also to have attributes change as time passes. (growing a plant for example :P)

The feature I need the most of all is the custom collision shape tho (should be coming this fall)

is there anyway to use a time as a attribute though. so i can add up 10 minutes etc etc

NMansell

Has anyone created a clock in their game that basically shows the hours and minutes and attributes can calculate 40 minutes from an hour, etc please?

Just use a timer:

1) create a game attribute called timeMinutes
2) go to any actor in the scene
3) drag in the timer behaviour:

-------
Timer
every 60 seconds
change attribute game.timeMinutes = (game.timeMinutes + 1)
-------

Done!

Then, to get the game to tell you when the 40 minutes are over you create a rule:

-------
Rule:
when timeMinutes = 40
Display Text: "40 Minutes have passed!" (<---- for example)
-------

Hope I helped

P.S. obviously you have to develop on this idea to amke an actual clock, or showing how many hours have passed. You can always ask for help if you get stuck
