Date/Time Functionality

#1 Place on your map an "Time Of Day" object (Library->Level->Time of Day), and assign an Name. From your script call:

$your_variable = your_time_of_day_component_name.time;

#2 TimeOfDay.time doesn't return system date and time, which I believe is what's being asked for, it only returns current in-game time of the TimeOfDay object.

I thought I remembered there being a script function for system date and time, but after a quick glance through the scripting reference and the scripts I don't think there is. I may be thinking of the engine function for it I exposed to script on previous project.

#3 There is a resource that allows you to set up a game date/time calendar system which was all script based and ports fairly easily to Torque3D

There is another, more recent, resource that did something similar but for real calendar dates -- never tried this one though.
