System Time

Nov 12, 2015

To create a clock within Storyline 2 I created a var called SystemTime and set the following JavaScript to launch when the timeline starts

var currentTime = new Date()
var hours = currentTime.getHours()
var minutes = currentTime.getMinutes()
if (minutes < 10)
minutes = "0" + minutes
var suffix = "AM";
if (hours >= 12) {
suffix = "PM";
hours = hours - 12;
}
if (hours == 0) {
hours = 12;
}
var timeString=hours + ":" + minutes + " " + suffix
var player = GetPlayer();
player.SetVar("SystemTime",timeString);

 

It seems to work!  Useful if you need a clock displayed with the actual time on it.
