if (%hours% = 12) then {
'if you want a 24 hour clock then set the number to 24, and take out the whole if that is BELOW!!

if (#MorA# = PM) then {
set <days; %days% + 1>
set <MorA; AM>} else {
set <MorA; PM>}
set <hours; = 0>}

now this might turn out weird since I copied it right out of textpad!! But try to spot the errors...... I can't. I know that the if statement might be a bit wrong....
If anyone wants the ASL file, just post it here and I'll get it to you!

Here's a time clock based on yours that doesn't generate an error! cut and paste the lot to prove it works, then use the relevant bits in your game - if you still get an error it's time to look elsewhere for it!

Hope that helps

Now I also have an error in my define procedure block which Quest tells me that I have the wrong type of variable, and conveniently shut's down! Then without a word, writes NOTHING to the log file!!

Anyway, you have the code almost identical to me.... all you have done is put in an else.... I'll send you my ASL when I get home tonight, then you can fine-tune it :)

Given your code generates an error 6 and mine works, I'd suggest there's something fundamentally wrong with the way your code is set up. :-)

If you mail me the ASL (and any library it calls - it might be something in that) I'll give it a quick look..
