C2 Plugin: Clock

EDIT: The version posted below was made with an old version of C2's SDK it will not work in current versions. For a version that works please see septeven's fix here.

This is a simple plugin that will let you incorporate real time into your programs. I believe there was a person or two who wanted it. I must say, this was quite the fun learning experience. I was rather alienated with C1's method of developing plugins.So being able to take a notepad and make something felt kind nice. Anyway, enjoy.

Plugin comes with expressions for: Millisecond, Second, Minute, Hour, Date, Day of the Week, Month, and Year.

Notes:

-No actions or conditions, just expressions

-This is a gutted mouse. Let me know if any of parts are still squeaking

-Javascript also has built in codes for UTC time, timezone offset, and preformated strings. Anyone want?

Nice! Glad you found it straightforward to make a plugin.

This might be an offtopic but, where in this forum can I find a tutorial to make plugins for C2? I have a background for programming so I don't think I'm going to have too much trouble (hopefully ) So to kill time when I'm not doing anything, I'd like to explore the plugin universe.

There's a sticky here, but that's all there is right now. Post a thread if you get stuck and someone might be able to help!

Thanks Ash! I'll take a look at it!

When i try to use the plugin by running the game in my chrome browser it replies the message

I could use your help.

Yeah...I have no idea.

This plugin was made way back at Revision 33 (Current: 76), and was mostly me just screwing around with a code I had next to no idea how to use. I'm guessing since then, a few things may have changed with Construct 2.

I'll try giving it a look sometime this week, but the only way I could really see myself "fixing" this would be to, gut the mouse plugin again, and remake the plugin. Which I currently do no have a lot of time to do.

My sincerest apologizes

If anyone else would like to jump in, be my guest. Wouldn't be surprised if it was something really simple.

Hello Yarfapet!

Was there any upgrades to your plugin?

I started a simple sketch that need to check the player's clock for day/night events :)

I updated this plugin. It seemed to be done with an old sdk.

Enjoy ;)

Thank you very much sir.

Question:

Does this plug-in rely on the internet to work or does it get the time information from the computer.. In other words, will it work on offline computers and Ipod touches?

It works on iphone. I guess it uses the local time.

I wonder how to make AM/PM option and put zero at second decimal, sometimes it shows like 17:5:5

Yarfapet, thanks for the original plugin!

septeven, thanks for your update!

Joannesalfa, the plugin gives you the expressions, you can display the numbers however you like. The following demonstrates how to display the time in a 12-hour format.
