How can I add a simple day counter?

[Charmareian]

When you start the game I want it to say Day 1 at the top left corner of the screen.

When a new day starts I want to be able to change it from Day 1 to Day 2, ect.

I want to be able to hide this counter at any time and have it work when you load a save or rollback to a previous day.

This post is the closest thing to what I'm trying to add: viewtopic.php?t=40548

Would it be easier to just show/hide an image of it, or am I just making more work for myself?

Thank you for you time.

Hello Charmareian, put this in your "screens.rpy":
#Screen for Daytime-Week. And skip time symbol.
screen day_time_viewer:

zorder 405
if day_time==1:
imagebutton:
xpos 1130
ypos 0
focus_mask True
idle Transform("gui/Hud1-Morning.png", zoom=.8)
hover Transform("gui/Hud1-Morning.png", zoom=.8)
if day_time==2:
imagebutton:
xpos 1130
ypos 0
focus_mask True
idle Transform("gui/Hud2-Afternoon.png", zoom=.8)
hover Transform("gui/Hud2-Afternoon.png", zoom=.8)
if day_time==3:
imagebutton:
xpos 1130
ypos 0
focus_mask True
idle Transform("gui/Hud3-Evening.png", zoom=.8)
hover Transform("gui/Hud3-Evening.png", zoom=.8)
if day_time==4:
imagebutton:
xpos 1130
ypos 0
focus_mask True
idle Transform("gui/Hud4-Night.png", zoom=.8)
hover Transform("gui/Hud4-Night.png", zoom=.8)


screen week_day_viewer:

zorder 403
if week_day==1:
imagebutton:
xpos 1130
ypos 0
focus_mask True
idle Transform("gui/1Monday.png", zoom=.8)
hover Transform("gui/1Monday.png", zoom=.8)
if week_day==2:
imagebutton:
xpos 1130
ypos 0
focus_mask True
idle Transform("gui/2Tuesday.png", zoom=.8)
hover Transform("gui/2Tuesday.png", zoom=.8)
if week_day==3:
imagebutton:
xpos 1130
ypos 0
focus_mask True
idle Transform("gui/3Wednesday.png", zoom=.8)

idle Transform("gui/4Thursday.png", zoom=.8)
hover Transform("gui/4Thursday.png", zoom=.8)
if week_day==5:
imagebutton:
xpos 1130
ypos 0
focus_mask True
idle Transform("gui/5Friday.png", zoom=.8)
hover Transform("gui/5Friday.png", zoom=.8)
if week_day==6:
imagebutton:
xpos 1130
ypos 0

imagebutton:

focus_mask True
idle Transform("gui/7Sunday.png", zoom=.8)
hover Transform("gui/7Sunday.png", zoom=.8)



screen time_skip_button:

zorder 403
if in_map==True:
imagebutton:
xpos 1770
ypos 0.0
focus_mask True
idle Transform("gui/Skip_Icon_Idle.png", zoom=.4)
hover Transform("gui/Skip_Icon_Hover.png", zoom=.4)
clicked [SetVariable("day_time", day_time + 1, ), Show("time_skip_button"), Jump("House_Map")]
hovered Show("displayTextScreen", displayText = "Skip Time")
unhovered Hide("displayTextScreen")
if day_time==4:
imagebutton:
xpos 1770
ypos 0.0
focus_mask True
idle Transform("gui/No_Skip_Icon_Hover.png", zoom=.4)
hover Transform("gui/No_Skip_Icon_Idle.png", zoom=.4)
clicked [SetVariable("day_time", 4), Show("time_skip_button"), Jump("House_Map")]
hovered Show("displayTextScreen", displayText = "Skip Time")
unhovered Hide("displayTextScreen")
if in_map==False:
imagebutton:
xpos 1770
ypos 0.0
focus_mask True
idle Transform("gui/No_Skip_Icon_Hover.png", zoom=.4)
hover Transform("gui/No_Skip_Icon_Idle.png", zoom=.4)
clicked [Show("time_skip_button"),]
hovered Show("displayTextScreen", displayText = "Skip Time")
unhovered Hide("displayTextScreen")

screen displayTextScreen:
key "hide_windows" action NullAction()
zorder 100
default displayText = ("")

vbox:
xalign 0.5
yalign 0.01
frame:
style "frame_gui1"
text "{size=+6}[displayText]{/size}"

This in your script.rpy before the "label Start:":
init python:

import datetime

class GameTime(object):

def __init__(self, dt="01 Apr 1518"):
self._dt = datetime.datetime.strptime( dt, "%d %b %Y" )

def alter(self, **kwargs):
self._dt += datetime.timedelta( **kwargs )

def __repr__(self):
return _strftime("%d %b %Y %H:%M", self._dt.timetuple())
#M-77 To do, some variable error is here, because of the year -out of range- tuple-something is wrong, when open developer console on 1st day calender is turned on, but it is all working well in game so no problem

@property
def tod(self):
return [ k[-1] for k in (
(1, "Morning"),
(2, "Afternoon"),
(3, "Evening"),
(4, "Night") ) if self._dt.hour in k ][0]

You may need to adjust this to your needs. And edit the screenbuttons too.
In game show the screens with:
show screen week_day_viewer
show screen day_time_viewer
show screen time_skip_button
And also can hide them.
And possible at some idle map you may need use this commands, I forgot what exactly they are for:
$ can_hide_windows = False
$ in_map=True #<- This disables the "Skip Time" function, if I remenber right.

Put the icons from the attach into your "game/gui/" directory.
Change the icons, screenbuttons to your needs with a Paintprogramm.
Good luck!

I don't know if you are aware of the renpy.notify function, this shows a notification at the top left of the corner with any information given, hides automatically after 3 or 4 seconds.

in this example is linked to a variable, everytime you jump to a label this will show, but it wont work saving and loading, as the loading is probably loaded in any part of the code where it was left and requires a more complex code.

every time you got to the Waking_up label it will add 1 to the day counter and show it, it will do the same for the school label.

Code: Select all

$ days_number = 0

label Waking_up:
    $ days_number += 1 #adds one to the counter
    $ renpy.notify("day: " + str(days_number)) #displays the variable with the number of days


    "text to fill replace with anything"
    
label School:
    $ days_number += 1
    $ renpy.notify("day: " + str(days_number))
    
    "text to fill replace with anything"

And I need to add to my above code:
Set time in game after "label start" with:
$ day_time = 4 #This will set your day time to night, 1 for morning etc.
$ week_day = 1 #This will set your week day to monday

In game when time has to pass in an event for example:
$ day_time += 1

If you send your character to slep at time 4 night let this code run, so you start on a morning after this and on next day:
$ day_time += 1
$ week_day += 1
if day_time == 5:
$ day_time = 1
if week_day == 8:
$ week_day = 1
