This little snipit is a day/night cycle for 3d environments.
It currently runs a whole cycle in a 1 min time period, but you can easily change it to be 10 min, 1 hour, whatever you need. It doesn't start until the clock reaches "00" or "30", so it may take up to 29 seconds to begin the cycle, depending on you clock at startup. After that, it will run continuously

I actullay wanted to make it as a function, but I can't figure out how to get the variables to pass properly. Would someone be so kind as to convert this snipit into a function? I appreciate your help.

Happy Game Creating!!!

global varname [= value] [as vartype]
those in brackets are optional
if you dont specify what variable type (integer, float, string, etc) the default is integer

global myvar = 0.03 as float

This snipit looks like it will always pass 0.03 to the function if you had a function like:

myfunction(myvar)

But will it allow the function to pass the new value back to the main program once endfunction is arrived at?

That is, if myvar changes to 1.06 in the function, will it still be 1.06 when it cycles back throught the main program and back to the top of the function again? Or will it revert back to 0.03?

Thanks for your help
