How to use 'DateTime' functions in GUIs (GUI Labels)

[AGSPwnage]

How can I use the 'DateTime.Now' function to put a realtime Digital clock in a GUI label? Pls help...

[Matti]

Create a GUI label (named Clock here) and put this in the rep-exec:

Code: ags

DateTime *dt = DateTime.Now;
Clock.Text = String.Format("%02d:%02d:%02d", dt.Hour, dt.Minute, dt.Second);

I've never used the daytime but that should work.

Thanks, I tried to put it in myself but it kept saying "Parse error" and "expected ';'

[Matti]

Is that parser error directed to one of those two lines? I can't see a problem.

Could you show some more of your code? Maybe there's a mistake before or after the lines.

No, I meant when I tried it on my own, I used;
Clock.Text = "%02d:%02d:%02d", dt.hour etc.

No, I meant when I tried it on my own, I used;
Clock.Text = "%02d:%02d:%02d", dt.hour etc.

Notice the String.format command.

Clock.Text = "%02d:%02d:%02d", dt.hour etc.

Yes, you see you didn't copy Matti's line verbatum. Check yours with Matti's you'll spot the difference.

Hey, hahaha, he tried it on his own, and due to leaving out a negligible part of the code, he suddenly got a parsing error, hahaha!
Sorry, but this just made my day.

This Is what I done before I asked the AGSFrorums, I had forgotten about the forums...

Sorry pal, I found it hilarious. Didn't mean to be rude.

For some reason this quote just makes me think of Frmomo Baggminz.

But enough off-topic harassment for one day.
