This is what i have so far for my hour changing script.

script,hourchange,begin
if(check tag(tag:daybegin) == on)
then, begin
set global variable(hours == 6)
wait (600)
increment (hours, 1)
set tag(tag:daybegin) == off
end
end

i would like to know how i loop this so it keeps incrementing till 12.
the wait 600 is what i think is around 45 sec through a calc. this is one of my important parts because this is what changes helps change days and
other things.

First of all...

The wait command won't affect player control. Unless there's a "suspend player" or a text box being shown, player control shouldn't be impeded.

I would strongly advise against making a "while (true)" statement. If you use that, the script will run forever, which I highly doubt you will want.

Also, don't worry about the "wait (600)" command preventing the player from doing anything; it won't have any affect on that.

Throw in an "if" statement to reset the global to 0 after it reaches 12.

Well, it looks like he wants to do an endless loop, since it's a day/night thing... Unless he only wants it on certain maps, that is.

You are right. But what if he wants to make a scene during the night in which the night continues on forever until the player completes the scene? But, as you said, if he wants the day/night cycle to continue throughout the game forever, the "while (true)" statement won't mess anything up.

Just use a global or a tag instead of just "true":

while(check tag(blah)) do(time stuff)
or
while(time:=1) do(time stuff)

Then if you wanted a night scene, you could change that tag/global to false, thus suspending time.

yo me, I hate to be a smartass but while(time:=1) would declare the time to equal one, and not check if the time is equals to 1. and since it isn't allowed, you gonna end up with an error message, so instead it should be while(time==1) or while(time) if you wanna just check the true/false condition of time.

Actually, such a thing would not generate an error message, because it is perfectly allowed. That's why you have to watch out for such things.

I want to know, what would be the point of "while(time==1) do(time stuff)" anyway? But Me is otherwise right.
