Working with time variables

[Uy27]

So I have this very simple code

Code: Select all

     define day = 1
 
    $ day_number = (day%7)
    $ day_name_values = ("Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday")
    $ day_name = day_name_values[day_number]
    $ dayTime_number = (dayTime%6)
    $ dayTime_name_values = ("Morning", "Noon", "Afternoon","Evening", "Night", "Late Night")
    $ dayTime_name = dayTime_name_values[dayTime_number]

Now, the simple things as day += 1 etc work fine.
But I have a hard time making it usable besides that.
Example, wanting something to happen every 7 days.
Or need to wait +4 days from the current day for something to happen.

I guess I need another variable but I simply cannot figure what that would be.

Might you, perchance, be looking for something like quirien's Dating Sim Engine?

Hello trooper6. I just want to say a quick thanks. I remember when I was making my game that I saw your other post (while helping others) that also solved my own issues. So big thanks for that.

Anyway, I have seen through all the dating sim scripts, but sadly none that I could find (maybe due to my lack of coding experience) which would help me.
It should be noted that my game is using the navigation system, so it's a very free roam style of game with labels as rooms etc.
