I'm trying to make a 12-hour AM/PM clock system as part of a very, very devious hold. This relies on a script which increments a raw Minutes variable every few turns, and there's a further script to convert the raw minutes into a clock timer... However, I can't figure out how to actually do this. I tried, but it caused some issues with the values essentially turning into -1:0... Which is not exactly a known time.

For reference, he's the script that initializes the original values for these variables, located at the first room of the hold:

  Set var "Minutes" = 0
  Set var "Clock_Hour" = 6
  Set var "Clock_Minutes" = 0
  End 

Here's my script to process the Minutes into the clock format:

Label timer
  Wait 0
  Set var "Clock_Minutes" = Minutes % 60
  Set var "Clock_Hour" = (Minutes / 60) - (Minutes % 60)
  Go to timer

A way to make it forcibly display two digits would also be nice, but is optional. If anyone has any leads, let me know.

DROD works in integers, so to get the hour, you just want Set var "Clock_Hour" = (Minutes / 60). I think you were trying to subtract the fractional part to get the integer remainder, and there's no need for that; DROD will do it for you.

Also, if you want the system to start at 6:00 (as Set var "Clock_Hour" = 6 implies), then it should be Set var "Clock_Hour" = (Minutes / 60) + 6.

That, or you should initialize the minutes differently, so that you start with 360 minutes already "passed".
