"Time Module"
 
I came up with the Game Time System when working on the Original SpiritQuest Dream.
I use this script to make it seem like time is passing with 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night.
One Game day is 2 hours, but time only passes if there is someone in the dream.
========= Time Module by Nommad ============

*6 sec = 1 min, 360 seconds = 1 hour, time only passes if there is someone in the dream

*========Spoken Share commands to test/manage time

(0:31) When a furre says {TimeWarp},
*advance 1 hour
   (1:11) and the triggering furre has got shared control (or is the dream owner),
            (5:200) emit message {The time is now %time } to whoever set off the trigger.
            (5:50) set countdown timer #90 to go off in #2 seconds.

(0:32) When a furre says something with {newDay} in it,
*start a new day
   (1:11) and the triggering furre has got shared control (or is the dream owner),
            (5:300) set variable #%time to the value #30.
            (5:50) set countdown timer #90 to go off in #2 seconds.
*begin night
(0:32) When a furre says something with {newNight} in it,
   (1:11) and the triggering furre has got shared control (or is the dream owner),
            (5:300) set variable #%time to the value #18.
            (5:50) set countdown timer #90 to go off in #2 seconds.

*=========End Share Commands

            (5:50) set countdown timer #90 to go off in #2 seconds.
