So I'm doing a personal project where I want a variable to get added every Sunday. I thought I could use the date plugin but I couldn't figure out anything. The problem is that I can't do an every second event (604800 seconds) because if i turn off the program and go back on it the time would reset (and I cant leave my computer on 24/7) so how would I go about making it so on everysunday a variable gets added to the program.

The best thing to do, is whilst the game is running, every second, update a variable to the current date, and make sure to save this so this can be loaded in future.

Then, say 3 weeks pass and you open your game, you will have the old date from 3 weeks ago, and you can compare it to today's date, and with these two dates, you can figure out how many Sundays have occurred, and add this to a "number of Sundays" variable.
