Well for the 'worldtime' in the server query, I wanted it to show the day of the week, I know this is possible, I've seen it on Crazybob's

Here's what I mean, If you still don't understand.



I tried getting the date using getdate(...) and using the minute variable as a string, but I get something weird like this



So does anyone know how I can get the date as a none numerical character?

There's a plugin that allows you to change those 'rules' in the samp panel. check out ******' YSF, it can do that.

I know that, I'm using it, but I need a way to update it using a timer, SetServerRule can only be called on OnGameModeInit, so I can't change that. Is it even possible to get the date using getdate(...) as a non numeric character?

I think he knows how to change it, he just doesn't know how to make it come out as days in a string. Is it showing the real days or server days? You could use an array to store the day/month names.

Server days obviously, using getdate() :P

Could you be more specific?

[Backwardsman97]

getdate stores the actual days in the real world. I meant maybe the script is using some kind of variable to store their current days.

well once you get it so the day displays successfully, you'll need to make it so when the clock reaches 0:00, the day will change to the correct day.

[ICECOLDKILLAK8]

Use getdate() and an enum with the day names.

SetServerRule can be called whenever.

you could change this to fit for days

pawn Code:

GetMonthName(name[])
{
    new tmp,month;
    getdate(tmp,month,tmp);
    if(month==1)format(name,3,"JAN");
    if(month==2)format(name,3,"FEB");
    if(month==3)format(name,3,"MAR");
    if(month==4)format(name,3,"APR");
    if(month==5)format(name,3,"MAY");
    if(month==6)format(name,3,"JUN");
    if(month==7)format(name,3,"JUL");
    if(month==8)format(name,3,"AUG");
    if(month==9)format(name,3,"SEP");
    if(month==10)format(name,3,"OCT");
    if(month==11)format(name,3,"NOV");
    if(month==12)format(name,3,"DEC");
}

Well days would be a bit harder.
