How does it work:​

This tutorial is written inside events and common events in an example project. This means you have to download the project (only 4 Mb) and open it in MV. Now you can check the events and common events to see how I did what.

Everything I did in those events and common events, I explained in comment notes.

Screenshots explain this a lot better than words. The green text in me explaining the system:
Spoiler: The actual clock and calendar is set up and explained in common event 2

Spoiler: Breakfast is served 6 till 8 am[quote]

Spoiler: Sleep to skip time

[/quote]
Spoiler: Have different maps for different seasons[quote]

Start a test run first to see how things go in practice, or start reading the events right away. Either way, make sure you read common event #2 before you read the other events. I've named that "ClockCore" and is the whole engine that makes the system.

Events only
​

The entire system is made with purely events. No coding is used. However, the project does have a tiny little plugin delivered with it. It is made (by me) to trigger a common event on map transfers. I use this to trigger the clockcore after every transfer in my own projects. I disabled the plugin for this project, to show how everything can be done with only events.
