DATE SYSTEM 1.0
A simple date system that allows a custom calendar Which can be customized. Runs on GUI and includes documentation. This can be used for making games that have events on certain dates or days. The system also allows you to define what a day is, wether it be 1 second, or 600 (or more)
In game usage: The game automatically displays a date, including the month(customizable,) the day(customizable), and the day of the month.
Importing:
Modify the variables under the calendar trigger to change the names of the days and months.
Next edit the next day event to a number equal to your days length.
To copy this system into your map, make sure the create unknown variables event is on. then copy the Event system folder.
and that you set the variable array Daysofthweek to 7, and the Months of the year variable to 12.
How does this system work?
This system works by assigning all the days of the week and names of the months a string variable in an array. when a new day occurs, each array is increased by 1. If the array goes bigger than a set number, then the array is set to one and reset.
What can I use this system for?
This system can be used to create games with events only on certain days or months
Do I need to give credits?
This would be apreciated, but is not nesesary(sorry, i cant spell)
