The widget is working fine.
But I have a question : (OMG not him again !!!)
Can we make something like that ?
<<if ($Appointment==1 and <<date>> is "Thu Feb 2, 2017 09:00") or ($Appointment==2 and <<date>> is "Thu Feb 2, 2017 14:00")>><<set $Aappointment to true>><</if>>
<<if $Aappointment is false>>Hi Sir, have we got an appointment?
<<elseif $Aappointment>>Hello sir, you must be Marc?
<</if>>
In my game, I try to create an appointment at an hour the next day.
Actually the date is : Wed Feb 1, 2017 08:00
And i would like to put an appointment at : Thu Feb 2, 2017 09 (I'ld like not to put minutes to have flexibility).

Something like that may be done, yes, though it will require a bit of setup. Also, you cannot call a macro from inside the arguments of another macro, so you'll have to use $gameDate directly. You're also being redundant, as there's no reason to have two <<if>> invocations there.
Try something like the following:
<<silently>>
/* Date() params: year , month(0-based) , day , hour(24H) [, minute [, second ]] */
/* Set the 1st appointment date/time: Thu Feb 2, 2017 09:00 */
<<set _appointment1 to new Date(2017, 1, 2, 9)>>
/* Set the 2nd appointment date/time: Thu Feb 2, 2017 14:00 */
<<set _appointment2 to new Date(2017, 1, 2, 14)>>
/* Set the values we'll actually compare */
<<set _now to $gameDate.toDateString() + ' ' + $gameDategetHours()>>
<<set _appointment1 to _appointment1.toDateString() + ' ' + _appointment1.getHours()>>
<<set _appointment2 to _appointment2.toDateString() + ' ' + _appointment2.getHours()>>
<</silently>>
\<<if
($Appointment is 1 and _now is _appointment1) or
($Appointment is 2 and _now is _appointment2)
>>
\<<set $Appointment to true>>
\Hello sir, you must be Marc?
\<<else>>
\Hi sir, have we got an appointment?
\<</if>>
I'm assuming that you're using the boolean value of $Appointment later. If you're only using it within the second <<if>> invocation, then you probably don't need that assignment at all.
Hi thx, it's working.
I would love to understand javascript as you do.
BTW :
<<set _now to $gameDate.toDateString() + ' ' + $gameDate.getHours()>>
There was a "." missing. for those who will copy it.

I don't know, so I prefere keep it for the moment.
As I work a lot with date, I would like to extend the "appointment" script to something generic.
I mean a script that take the actual game date, store it (the date continue to run in the game), add one day (for exemple), and check with "now" if that's the same.
I try :
put the code in the link.
[[I will take the one at 9h.|Mayor Secretary Appointment][$Appointment to 1; _tomorrow to new Date($gameDate.getDate()+1); _tomorrow to _tomorrow.toDateString()]]
Then call it in another passage.
<<silently>>
/* Extract the value of the hour */
<<set _hour to $gameDate.getHours()>>
/* Values which will be compare */
<<set _now to $gameDate.toDateString()>>
<</silently>>
<<if $Appointment==0>>[[I would like to take an appointment with the Mayor please.|Mayor Secretary Appointment]]<</if>>
<<if
($Appointment is 1 and _now is _tomorrow and _hour is 9) or
($Appointment is 2 and _now is _tomorrow and _hour is 14)
>>
<<set $Appointment to true>>blabla
<<else>>blabla<</if>>
There are two issues with your setter link. You're assigning your tomorrow value to a temporary variable, which is only valid within the passage where it's set. You're passing a single integer value, the number of days, to the Date() constructor, which is not going to do what you want.
The former is solved by using a story variable to hold the tomorrow value. The latter is solved by using the <Date>.setDate() method—I'd also suggest creating a function to handle the addition of days, since it gets a bit busy within your setter link otherwise.
Add the following to your script section to set up the function: (Twine 2: goes in Story JavaScript; Twine 1: goes in script-tagged passage)
/*
Takes a Date object, or compatible representation, and a number of days.
Returns a new Date object created from the given Date modified by the given
number of days. Does not modify the original date.
*/
window.addDaysToDate = function (origDate, days) {
var date = new Date(origDate);
date.setDate(date.getDate() + days);
return date;
};
You may then do the following within your setter link:
[[I will take the one at 9h.|Mayor Secretary Appointment][$Appointment to 1; $tomorrow to addDaysToDate($gameDate, 1).toDateString()]]
And the later passage:
<<silently>>
/* Extract the value of the hour */
<<set _hour to $gameDate.getHours()>>
/* Values which will be compare */
<<set _now to $gameDate.toDateString()>>
<</silently>>
\<<if $Appointment is 0>>[[I would like to take an appointment with the Mayor please.|Mayor Secretary Appointment]]<</if>>
<<if
($Appointment is 1 and _now is $tomorrow and _hour is 9) or
($Appointment is 2 and _now is $tomorrow and _hour is 14)
>>
\<<set $Appointment to true>>
\…blabla…
\<<else>>
\…blabla…
\<</if>>
NOTE: Depending on how you intend for that to function, those two <<if>> macros should possibly be unified.

Correct that problem and it should work.
It's working.
Thx a lot.
It will teach me to put uppercase anywhere ...
BTW : I wish you all : Happy New Year.
Happy New Year to you too.

Noted for the issues.
