Let’s say in theory you wanted to make a feature that refreshes every 24 hours at a certain time, like Monster Train, what would people do to ensure an automatic time update? AFAIK GDevelop doesn’t have any global time functions?
I’m just brainstorming for future projects.
dosent the leaderboard automaticly refresh every few seconds?
What I mean is like, I would want it to refresh at 12AM every day and remove all data
The data is less important. What I’m asking is if there is a way for the game to pull time off the web and reset itself universally for all players
ohh that makes more sense, but wont the different time zones get mixed up?
Usually, games use a set time zone, such as EST for the leaderboard. So yes, it might reset part way through the day for some people, but that way the leaderboard won’t break.
true, i never thought this through lol.
There’s an action in Gdevelop to stop the earth rotating EarthTimescaleSetTo
Which might help here!
