Need help with timed pregnancy

Zengrizzly

Hey all,
VERY new to programming. I'm using Twine 2 with Sugarcube 2

I was able to get a running clock with the advice in:
https://twinery.org/forum/discussion/3195/clocks-still-driving-me-nuts

Is there a way to put in:
<<if $gameDate gte Date(2017, 5, 30, 6, 0, 0)>>
You're in labor!
Go to hospital
<</if>>

So that it will go off of the clock of the game for timed events?

Thanks in advance!

First of all you should give us the full version number of the versions of both Twine 2 and SugarCube 2 you are using.

Also, can you maybe provide us with the code you have in place for the clock right now. Post code by clicking the little C above the comment box or pressing ctrl+O.

I think you can simply use javascripts subtraction for dates (which results in amount of ms difference). so for example

<<if $gameDate-Date(2017, 5, 30, 6, 0, 0) gte 0>>

assuming thate $gameDate contains a valid Date object

I'm using Twine 2.1.3 and Sugarcube 2.18.0




In passages at top:
<<if $gameDate gte Date(2017, 5, 30, 6, 0, 0)>>
You're in labor!
Go to hospital
<</if>>


In StoryInit
StoryInit
<<set $now to new Date(2017, 5, 29, 6, 0, 0)>>
<<set $pregnant to true>>
