  Try the following:

  (set: $amount to 950)
  (set: $hours to (floor: $amount / 60))
  (set: $minutes to ($amount % 60))
  
  hours: (print: $hours)
  minutes: (print: $minutes)

  Also, to set a "clock" using 24 hour time with the code above given by greyelf, you can use the following:
  

  (if: $hours > 23)[(set: $hours to $hours - 24)]
  (if: $hours < 10)[0$hours](else:)[$hours]:(if: $minutes < 10)[0$minutes](else:)[$minutes]
  

  
  Just sharing that, as that is what I am using in my game, thanks to the help I got from greyelf!

  Hi again,
  
  Since I am trying to move my story over to the sugarCube format (since it seems more versatile for what i want to achieve), I was wondering how to get the time thing to work.
  
  The only part that I am having trouble with is the following:
  

  (set: $hours to (floor: $amount / 60))
  

  
  In SugarCube, I can't get the "floor" part to work, nor know how to get it to round the resulting number.
  
  I have this so far:
  

  <<set $hours to ($pTime / 60)>>
  

  
  But that returns the number with the decimal places. I can't find the solution in any of the sugarCube documentation.
  
  Any ideas?

  Nevermind, I found the answer, and it is by adding parseInt before the brackets.
  
  So the final SugarCube code that works for me now is:
  

  <<set $hours to parseInt($pTime / 60)>>

  You could also use the standard Javascript Math.floor method in SugarCube.
  
  My above example modified for SugarCube:

  <<set $amount to 950>>
  <<set $hours to Math.floor($amount / 60)>>
  <<set $minutes to ($amount % 60)>>
  
  hours: <<print $hours>>
  minutes: <<print $minutes>>
