how do you create a time system?
i want the entire world's time to be the same,but for some reason,i cant seem to make global vars work,in world procs >_<<br/>

if you wanna see what is says,here it is:

global/var
minutes = 0
hours = 0
days = 0
season = 0
years = 0

world/Time()
sleep(20)
global.minutes+=1
if (global.minutes == 60)
global.hours+=1
global.minutes-=1
if (global.hours == 12)
global.night == 1
else if (global.hours == 24)
global.days+=1
global.hours-=1
if (global.days == 16)
global.season+=1
global.days-=1
if (global.season == 4)
global.years+=1
global.season-=1

and the many error messages:

RPG Starter.dm:26:error:global.minutes:undefined var
RPG Starter.dm:27:error:global.minutes:undefined var
RPG Starter.dm:28:error:global.hours:undefined var
RPG Starter.dm:29:error:global.minutes:undefined var

Nadrew	Instead of global.var, just use var, and night == 1 does nothing, it should be night = 1

Roara	doesnt help one bit... when i take away all the global. stuff... it says they're still undefined! >_<

WizDragon	You can't define procs for world. Try defining it as top-level instead.

Roara	oh,i cant? ohhh... x_x

#5 Aug 20 2002, 5:29 am In response to Roara (#4)
Roara	well,right now,the error's the variables wont be defined

#6 Aug 20 2002, 5:31 am In response to Roara (#5)
WizDragon	What do you mean?

#7 Aug 20 2002, 5:31 am In response to WizDragon (#6)
Roara	it says all the variables,used in the proc,arent defined

#8 Aug 20 2002, 5:47 am In response to Roara (#7)
WizDragon	Can you show the code you currently have?

Roara

global/var
minutes = 0
hours = 0
days = 0
season = 0
years = 0
night = 0

proc/Time()
global.sleep(20)
global.minutes+=1
if (global.minutes == 60)
hours+=1
global.minutes-=1
if (global.hours == 16)
global.night = 1
else if (global.hours == 6)
global.night = 1
else if (global.hours == 24)
global.days+=1
global.hours-=1
if (global.days == 16)
global.season+=1
global.days-=1
if (global.season == 4)
global.years+=1
global.season-=1

(and yes,i tried removing all the 'global.'s,but it still failed)

Remove all the globals. As in:

var
    minutes = 0
    hours = 0
    etc...

proc/Time()
    sleep(20)
    minutes += 1
    etc...

Should work fine.

Roara	er,i have a problem,again... how do i start the proc,once,and only once?

WizDragon

Engage it in world/New(), like so:

world/New()
    ..()
    spawn()Time()
