Hi! Does anyone found another stopwatch script please?

I can't wait until you add the stopwatch function. There aren't many choices out there.

This script uses C# basic mechanics, any API change wouldn't affect this script, unless a new c# version that changes how time is called is changed. Unlikely to happen.

Forget it mosfet, I was drunk! Great script, thank you!

I havent started Space Engineers in years... Can you specify which step is too complicated?

This script displays real life time, not relative to planet time.

@Max, this script is from 2015 and never updated. That might be the problem the time does not show correct.

21:00 and the sun rises... bruh wtf?

I actually fixed the problem. I just had the timer block increase and decrease the font size at the same time so it updates it's texture and bypasses the weird bug.

I'm having a really strange problem though I'm not sure wether that's an actual game bug or caused by the script. Because the time onlly changes while I'm changing settings of the lcd panel (like font size or color), otherwise it's just... stuck. I think it just doesn't update the texture of the screen because it still changes the text in terminal. You have any clue?
(I'm using the Dx9 32-bit version, maybe that's the reason)

well it would be possible to center it in both directions but one would have to decrease the font size by a significant amount, then add some whitespaces at the beginning of the line and skip some lines before printing the actual time. i dont think it would look that nice. i already tried my best to use the most of the screens display.

Awesome script! I really love the simplicity of it....

Two simple questions 1) Is there a way to center the time in the middle of the LCD/text panel? and 2) is there a way to display a title on the screen, such as "Earth Time"?

Thanks again, and great work!

Solved, it has to be set to "Show text on screen". :(

I've tried to load again, but it still doesn't show the time. All items are signed to me, script was loaded but it still showing "online". What could be wrong?
On the LCD, it has time couting over the "Edit Public Text" but it doesn't show on screen.

with mods an analog clock is possible, with scripts not. could you fix all your problems or is there still something not working?

Howdy,Thanks 4 quick response. first time 4 me 2 do on script´s. so its my fold thats not working but now i got it. . the server time is 1h and 5 min bevor real time. aaannnd i like my new clock :).... is it posibele to create an analog clock?

the seconds are missing? could you get me a screenshot of that?
what exactly do you mean be german time? if you look into the script, you will see some variables for adjusting the clocks time. with them you can change the time as you wish.

Howdy, i need a hint. first, seconds missing?? and, how to manage to get german time?

I shortly looked into this and couldnt find a way to display the ingame time via ingame scripts. maybe this is possible with a mod.

I may look into this :)

Can you make a script to show the time of the world?

Awsome Ingamescript. was kinda confusing at first but really cool!

Thanks for your help. It was the programmable block changed to Nobody. Thanks!

are you sure that you named the panel correctly and that you are the owner of all the block that are involved with the clock (lcd panel, programmable block,timer etc)

Still blank (black). I saved the game, quit, and reloaded. Nothing happened.

With blank you mean black? Normally it helps to save the game, quit and reload it.

I can't get it to work. I read the description three times and tried many different things. The text panel just shows blank. I didn't do the argument part. Any ideas on if I'm missing something?

Thanks man! I thought maybe it was the server time (dedicated server) but it's 2hr faster than sever time as well. Thanks for the workaround!

@OMoo: Nothing changes, you just leave the argument empty.

@Professor Nipples: Space Engineers has some problems with the lcd screens. somethimes they just stay black. as you said, just save the game and reload it. At the moment i have no idea why it is 4 hours behind your time. Normally it should just get the system time (which is the time you set for your pc). I made a workaround for such cases. Look in the "Config" Section in the script.

Ok so it worked on a reload...but it's 4hrs behind my pc time. Same issue I had with mmaster config time. Any ideas??

does the lcd need bto be "timepanel" in quotes? tried it both ays but the screen stayed black for some reason. no error on the pgrm blackand timers were loopng correctly. I am a script dimwit though...so it's probably something simple.

I love it...question though...can the time be centered on the panel? It's justified to the top right now

How do you do this with the new argument they added to the programmable block?

unlike scytale i dislike 24hr :P. but i like how there is the option. love this thing :) thanks

thanks, awesome little plugin, to never get lost in time while playing se (that happens way too often :D). can't wait for the 24hr fromat though, I really dislike the 12hrs =/

@[907G]Stardriver907 Im aware of how time works in space, but thanks.

@Blackbomber200 - Time is a reference. If you need several people to do something in a coordinated fashion, time provides the coordinates. Otherwise, it only means something when you are on a planet with spin, and your clock would tell you how long it takes for the planet to make one revolution. That's the part that doesn't matter in space.

well, time is always the same^^ we just use abstract methods to measure and express it.

But time is not the same in space as it is on planets.....

Remarks:
- To let it smoothly display the current time, i am running it with *1 Timers triggering the programmable Block and triggering *now itself. no lags

very good, nice work

nice one. kept it simple and works perfectly :)

noted this as to-do :)
i will finish some to-do's the next days, at the moment i am addicted to gta5 ;D

Could u add allarm to it so it rings at centarin time?

yes thats right, i didnt think of it. with scripts simple and small as this, running the script and triggering the timer by itself shouldnt cause any problems.

If u want smooth add to timer comand triger now and start so it will run faster than after 1 s
it works well with lot s of scripts

yes, but if you are just interested in an ingame clock, there is no need for the huge overhead. The Configurable LCD Panels script has a few thousand lines of code, this snippet here has 8.

Configurable LCD Panels script has the same - Time command
