Real-time Graal.

I was thinking that a real-time Graal clock would be useful to, say, script automatic updates/refreshing for assorted things; shops, treasure chests, maybe some events.

Why don't you script it?

I agree, but then it would help to have a serveroption that specifies a time offset from GMT to help people prevent confusion.

I think what he was trying to say is that Graal should have it's own set time that is in the program, so if it is night on one playerworld it would also be night on other playerworlds.. And yes, I agree that I think that could be very useful. :frown:

why dont you just script it, and have all the participating playerworlds use the same calculations?

you can already display the real life time on your playerworld

Because it would be easier and would not have to be editted by each individual playerworld.

I am sure that if you described what exactly you wanted, it will be easy for some of the forum's scripters to implement it.

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

if (created){

  timeshift = strtofloat(#s(serverr.timeshift));

  gmt = 0;

  timeout = 5;

}

if (timeout){

  totalmin = int(timevar / 12) + timeshift + gmt * 60;

  setplayerprop #c,Hour: #v(int(totalmin/60)%24):#v(totalmin);

  timeout = 5;

}

Breifly. That would work to simulate realtime. Basically, timeshift is the amount of minutes you must add to the current timevar to get the right time (find this manually), then you have gmt, whom would change the amount of hours, depending on your time zone. Then you just need to treat it like virtual time.

serverside:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (playertouchsme) {

  this.temp = timevar2;

  this.hours = int(this.temp/(60*60))%24;

  this.mins = int((this.temp/60)%60);

  this.secs = int((this.temp)%60);

  message #v(this.hours)H:#v(this.mins)M:#v(this.secs)S;

}

that should always give the current GMT time (minutes seems to be inacurate

code stolen from ZeroTrack's post: http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...7&page=2&pp=15

there is already a clock availible, timevar2

edit: it seems to be inaccurate by like a half hour though

Era kinda works by the westcost time.
Sgangs open from 2:00pm till 1:00am
Businesses automatically restock every [hidden for Era reasons] :P.

It's already possible to base things on real time, with timevar/timevar2, as mentioned above.

You could set up a control npc and reset it at a specific time, such as 12:00pm or something, and the script inside the npc could simply save that time variable when it's created...

Though I guess it would be trickier to set it up so that it would correct itself if the npc server crashed and had to be restarted or something.
