how do you create a time system?
i want the entire world's time to be the same,but for some reason,i cant seem to make global vars work,in world procs >_<


if you wanna see what is says,here it is:

global/var
minutes = 0
hours = 0
days = 0
season = 0
years = 0

world/Time()
sleep(20)
global.minutes+=1
if (global.minutes == 60)
global.hours+=1
global.minutes-=1
if (global.hours == 12)
global.night == 1
else if (global.hours == 24)
global.days+=1
global.hours-=1
if (global.days == 16)
global.season+=1
global.days-=1
if (global.season == 4)
global.years+=1
global.season-=1


and the many error messages:

RPG Starter.dm:27:error:global.minutes:undefined var
RPG Starter.dm:28:error:global.hours:undefined var

Instead of global.var, just use var, and night == 1 does nothing, it should be night = 1

You can't define procs for world. Try defining it as top-level instead.

In response to WizDragon
global/var
minutes = 0
hours = 0
days = 0
season = 0
years = 0
night = 0

proc/Time()
global.sleep(20)
global.minutes+=1
if (global.minutes == 60)
hours+=1
global.minutes-=1
if (global.hours == 16)
global.night = 1
else if (global.hours == 6)
global.night = 1
else if (global.hours == 24)
global.days+=1
global.hours-=1
if (global.days == 16)
global.season+=1
global.days-=1
if (global.season == 4)
global.years+=1
global.season-=1



(and yes,i tried removing all the 'global.'s,but it still failed)

Remove all the globals. As in:
var
    minutes = 0
    hours = 0
    etc...

proc/Time()
    sleep(20)
    minutes += 1
    etc...

Should work fine.

In response to Roara
Engage it in world/New(), like so:
world/New()
    ..()
    spawn()Time()
