Hello, it's best if you use my GB Studio Digital Clock System as your first project then you work from there. You rename it, you change the scene background, you change the sprites of the characters. Etc. Basically, a template that has the built in system for the clock to work. That's if you do not want to learn the nitty gritty details on how to make systems work. But! if you want to learn. You'll really have to study the template I made as to how it works. I made it fairly simple. I don't really make my systems function on formulas (except currency counter it has a little basic formula).
So yeah, I highly suggest you tinker with GB Studio first and start with basics. Try to imagine one thing you want to accomplish (like Player pushes object) then play around with GB Studio, search the web, ask people on reddit and just dive into it. I started from scratch 6 months ago. You can do it!
Yes they are. You might have to always make your scenes a little bigger than the standard size so your limit goes from 10 actors to 20 at all times. I'm sure you know this. For my RPG game I have decided to split a few scenes/maps into 2 just so I can accommodate this digital clock system and watch out for how many actors I place per scene.
For five bones this is actually worth it, because of all of the scripting work being done with lovely palette swapping representing the different times of the day.
Though there are free mods that can allow you to do the same thing and more if you're willing to put in the work. Many users would find far more than $5 worth of value in this template
Thanks for the kind words man! and yes I've seen that github plugin. I tried to understand it but I just couldn't. So I decided to make my own basic version.

Hi, how do I add the clock to a new scene using the file you provided with my image? I'm a GB studio noob

I have a question. Are the HUD an actors? Because I have max limit on some of the maps.

Yeah, I know, thank you! :)
I already have the clock mechanism built into a game. I was having my game tested and the reviewer mentioned needing a day identifier for gameplay.
Well this solved that. Super easy to incorporate into existing projects. Thanks!
Glad you were able to incorporate it into your existing project at ease! Thank you for your support :)

I also did not find the mod I posted to be intuitive (However I did eventually figure it all out)
But I really like you reason! That's the way to do it!! don't let anything stop you!!
Keep it up, I'll be watching your work
