Got a challenge for you...

Can you do this system date code plus three days?

I am needing "today's" date to be displayed, plus the date 3 days after "today's"

Is this possible?

I have the same problem right now. I hope there was an answer for this.

Thank you, Chat GPT. Here is the javascript for showing the date three days in the future.

var m_names = new Array("January", "February", "March",
"April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September",
"October", "November", "December");
var today = new Date();
today.setDate(today.getDate() + 3); // Add three days
var dd = today.getDate();
var mm = today.getMonth();
var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
if (dd < 10) { dd = '0' + dd; }
var date = m_names[mm] + ' ' + dd + ', ' + yyyy;var player = GetPlayer();
player.SetVar("SystemDate", date);
