Hi, I use military time format for my game but I need to display it on a panel in time format.

For example the variable is 1600 for 4 o clock and displays in a panel as 1600 but I need to separate the hour from the minute and put a colon in between like this 16:00. I managed to get the hour by dividing the variable by 100 example 'time_day / 100 = hour' but how can I get the minute?

Thanks

The variables are called sys_hours and sys_minutes.

Thanks for reply but I'm not using the system time. Im using my own in game time which is using the variable 'time_day'. is there a way to display half a variable? I.e for 1249 just '12' in one panel and just '49' in another?

hours is 16, minutes is 52.
Also, you are doing time calculation and storage wrong. What you really want is a variable that accumulates time in the smallest unit that you want to store and then calculate the time of day from there.


Also, Dico, I like your way of opening doors with tanks. All kidding aside, how are you going to take care of things like kerning with that?

i'm not have much time to help in this forum , but from time to time i open forum page and see the news and all what i found is questions

Thanks for the replies I overcame the problem by using the time_day / 100
example time_day = 1652; hour = time_day / 10, 16.52 is the new variable and I display that on a panel and cover the decimal with another panel containing ':'



But JustSid this is the exact calculation I was looking for to give me the minutes! Thanks
