I want to incorporate a 24hr time variable into my storygame but, due to my lack of scripting abilities, I don't know how to make it continue from, say, 2259 to 2300 instead of 2260 and 2261 etc. Help Please!

I assume you are wanting the time to change by 1 minute for every link you click. If so, here is my recommendation:

Create two variables, HOUR and MIN. Put this at the beginning of your global link page:

%MIN := %MIN + 1

IF %MIN  = 60 THEN

BEGIN

%MIN := 0

%HOUR := %HOUR + 1

END

IF %HOUR = 24 THEN %HOUR := 0

Thanks!

You're welcome. Of course, that method assumes that the same amount of time is going to pass for every link. Regardless, I hope it is useful.
