I have a variable in my Construct project called Month and I would like to give it the value of the current month using javascript method w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_getmonth.asp

How can I do that ?

I know there is now a Date object in Construct 3, but somehow, it doesn't seem to work with Safari

Add a script in the event sheet:
var d = new Date(); runtime.globalVars.Month = d.getMonth();

It's odd that the Date plugin doesn't work. Are you sure about this? You can log a bug report here:

Thank you dop2000 !

So, my variable in classic Construct Event sheet wil be 'd' ?

As for not working on Safari, I used it to generate a value to check if we were in a given month (true/false) and it worked as if false was always returned regardless it is the case or not.

Same test did work on Chrome but not in Safari.

No, the variable in the event sheet is 'Month'.

I think it's likely you have a mistake in your events.

Set the month to Month variable using the Date object, run the game in Debug mode and check the value in this variable.
