If you use GameHour it prints out 4.5 if the time is 4:30 A.M and if the time is P.M. it prints out 16.5. But with the right script we can make the GameHour print out 4.30 P.M. if the time IS 4:30 P.M.


First of all we need some variables: 

float time
short hour

Then check the time: 

set time to GameHour

Now we need to isolate the hour from the minutes. Assigning a float value to a short var truncates the decimals and that is what we need here (so 4.5 becomes 4, 13.93 becomes 13, etc): 

set Hour to time

Then, to check the minute just subtract the Hour from the GameHour, like this: 

set time to time - Hour

Now we have the minutes in decimals but we need to translate it to minutes. To that we use this: 

set time to ((time / 5) * 3)

Now when the minutes are correct we can add the hours again: 

set time to time + Hour

Now we have the right time but we still want to make 4:30 P.M. showing 4.30 P.M not 16.30. 

If time < 12 
 message "%.2f A.M. " time
Elseif time < 24 
 message "%.2f P.M. " time
Endif

This part just check if the time is less than 12, if it is call it A.M., Else call it P.M. But it won't work perfectly yet, we need to subtract 12 from the time if it's P.M. (If the time is showing 16.30 we subtract it with 12 and ad P.M. = 4.30 P.M.)

Change it like this: 

If time < 12 
 message "%.2f A.M. " time
Elseif time < 24 
 if time >= 13      ;we still want 12P.M. to be 12 P.M. not 0 P.M.
  set time to time - 12
 endif
 message "%.2f P.M. " time
Endif

Now we just need to do one more thing. As it is now 12 A.M. gives the output 0 and showing 0 A.M.

We need to correct this part once more: 

If time < 12 
 if time < 1        ;Only when the time is something with 12 A.M.
  set time to time + 12
 endif
 message "%.2f A.M. " time
Elseif time < 24 
 if time >= 13      ;we still want 12P.M. to be 12 P.M. not 0 P.M.
  set time to time - 12
 endif
 message "%.2f P.M. " time
Endif

The whole script can look like this 

Scn ClockwithAMandPM

float time
short Hour

begin onActivate
set time to GameHour
set Hour to time

set time to time - Hour
set time to ((time / 5) * 3)
set time to time + Hour
if time < 12 
  if time < 1        
    set time to time + 12
  endif
  message "The Current time is %.2f A.M. " time
elseif time < 24 
  if time >= 13      
    set time to time - 12
  endif
  message "The Current time is %.2f P.M. " time
endif
end
