i am trying to make a clock(prefered digital)that runs on the screen of the game and that loops.

I walk alone, down a street that I call home, and wonder why God is so mean to me.

Heven't needed this myself yet, but I know I've seen lots of posts regarding clocks and timers. I think one of the moderators put together a dll that allows you to pull system time. You might also want to include in your question if you want real time or in-game time. Sorry I'm not much help on this one.

You can probably come up with a free "digital LED" font by Googling and it would go far in giving you the effect you're looking for by just using that font for your timer output.

"Lucinda Console" is about as close as the default Windows fonts come. It's not really the 7-segment LED effect you're after though, I don't think.

Not sure If this is what you want, but it will show how to make your own clock show the time instesd of the real time clock.

Look for 'Roman clock' in code snippet.

change the mids bit to this
eg

mid$(mytime,8)

mytime is your clock.
