you wanted a request how about a model resources section for game maker in the editor as a extension so you can load models and a model editor to create models would be nice.

It's nice, but flawed. When you count down with the timer and check if it's at 0, it takes 1:00 as 0, so whatever you want to happen at 0:00 happens at 1:00.

timehour*60*60+timemin*60+timesec

timehour=0
0*60=0

timemin=1
0*60+1=1

timesec=0
1*60+0=60

I honestly have no clue how this could've gone wrong if it thinks that 60 is 0.

Are you even talking about a timer?

thats... odd... ill look into it srry for not replying forever, took a long break from gm but im back.

60=0, got it...

[Bass.EXE]

Got it yet?

[isaacqwerty]

srry i kind of stopped working, i think i did finish it, i just didnt put it up... 1 sec let me see if my version works...

[Blue Leader]

It sounds like this could be pretty useful, I must admit.

[isaacqwerty]

got 2 bugs in one fix...
you probably noticed(if u didnt, u r blind) that the draw light by time thing, wasnt working well with the turn the midnight/noon hours.
Now i redid the algebra behind it and hopefully(it is tested, but i cant go through every 1440 minutes in a day) it will no longer be any problem.

the other, the checking time, has been fixed by doing something a bit different, i also did some double checking on the stop/start, it wasnt stopping but was actually changing direction... weird...

anyway, i hope everyone enjoys this batch of updates

[game_obsessed]

I find this very handy but i have 1 request:
In the game i'm making, i want it to time how long it takes to finish the level, and the quickest scores go in the high-scores. So would there be a way to set the time to a variable?

If you could do this, it would be extremely helpful.

[isaacqwerty]

k, i have a few ideas for how to do that, including using what is already there but making the variable accesible as minutes or seconds...
hm... ill get that up asap

[mykl777]

this is a great little lib, very helpful. I'm not much of a noob to game creation, but am very noob when it comes to gm. this helps, and makes my life a bit easier. a question, since you made the timer lib, could you possibly add or create a second lib that controlled time? By this I mean a lib where you can do the following...

create a calander type interface. I want to include into my game a setup where in the main character's status menu it tells the second/minute/hour/day/month/year

and make it to where i could custom all of these things. IE: 40 seconds in a minute, 50 minutes in an hour, 30 hours in a day, 40 days in a month, 18 months in a year.

i hope i am making my request clear. also the ability to rename each of those things.

I know this is a lot to ask, but I think it would be useful to alot of people.

thanks........

[isaacqwerty]

like a different world, therefore different rotation speed and revolution speed(around the axis or sun respectively)...
hm... thats definately a new idea... yes i could make that work id have to edit the numbers, but thats about it.
i need to know how many seconds are in a minute, minutes in an hour. if you want days as well... oh geez. if you want it reletive to their clock, you(and therefore me) have a big problem, especially if it doesnt add up to the same seconds ea day.


anyway...
UPDATE!
now saves time into a variable in either the form (...S)SS or HH:MM:SS

[baker411]

Im having a problem with this and im not sure what the deal is... Im trying to make it how if u click slot 1 it creates an object, its doing that but when i click the header sprite instead of the slot. Help please.

[mrsmes]

Thanks, this will really, make it a lot easier, to make eliminator formats, in top down drag racing games, now, sweet.

[takis76]

Could with this time able to have , smaller resolution of time , for example not second , but milliseconds?
If yes , how?
Could you provide a code for this.
If no
Request for the next version.


Thank you

[isaacqwerty]

I might be able to make a more accurate one but i may have to enter the range of pro version...

I would rather not do that.

other than that i might be able to get it down to like .02 of a second... if you have room speed of 50
I am limited to how many steps every second (FPS)
So, the lowest time I can go is 1/(your room speed)

[6nethack9]

Hey!
Nice LIB!
I think i'll use it!
Thanks!

[Jarquafelmu]

Not sure if this is still being supported but I was having a problem that I was hoping that could be fixed.

I am using gm8 and when I try to use the command "saves time to variable" in my program i get this:

[codebox]
___________________________________________
ERROR in
action number 1

for object obj_bomb:

[/codebox]

When I use your timer program written in gm6 it works fine. But I can't seem to get it to work in mine.
