Setting the exact time

[Legacy_Ed Venture]

               Wanted to set the exact game time, when a player enters an area.
This script works, but there's got to be an easier way.

 int nHr = GetTimeHour();
 int nMn = GetTimeMinute();
 int nSc = GetTimeSecond();
 int nMs = GetTimeMillisecond();
 int nYr = GetCalendarYear();
 int nMh = GetCalendarMonth();
 int nDy = GetCalendarDay();
 nDy += 12;
 if(nHr == 20)
 {
  SetTime(nHr+23,nMn,nSc,nMs);
 }
 else
 {
  if(nHr == 21)
  {
   SetTime(nHr+22,nMn,nSc,nMs);
  }
  else
  {
   if(nHr == 22)
   {
    SetTime(nHr+21,nMn,nSc,nMs);
   }
   else
   {
    if(nHr == 23)
    {
     SetTime(nHr+20,nMn,nSc,nMs);
    }
    else
    {
     if(nHr == 0)
     {
      SetTime(nHr+19,nMn,nSc,nMs);
     }
     else
     {
      if(nHr == 1)
      {
       SetTime(nHr+18,nMn,nSc,nMs);
      }
      else
      {
       if(nHr == 2)
       {
        SetTime(nHr+17,nMn,nSc,nMs);

I am assuming that not including 10 was an oversight as well as the one hour shift it produced.  If this is the case then all those if statements simplify to:

 if(nHr >= 20)   SetTime(43,nMn,nSc,nMs);
else SetTime(19, nMn, nSc, nMs);

               WhiZard ,
Oversight, what a tactful way of asking, are you stupid ?
Why, yes ! Yes I am !
Thanks for your help. I knew there had to be an easier way.
As a noob I always try to translate a script as I read it.
One more question.
if(nHr >= 20)   SetTime(43,nMn,nSc,nMs);

if(GetTheCurrentHour, Is greater or equall to 20), SetTheTime(43,and son on)
I do not understand what the int. 43 is doing.

               43 is the solution to all your additions: 20+23, 21+22, etc.  this seems intentional as it is 24 (24 hours is one day) greater than 19.

               I am not sure you are trying to arive at 19:00 or 20:00. 12 days later. either way your script can be simplified to.

void main ()
{
   SetTime ( (12*24) + 20, GetTimeMinute(),GetTimeSecond(),GetTimeMillisecond());
}

The hours will wrap into days so there is no reason to also use the SetCalendar function. the set time function will handle both. 

EDIT:
I myself would also not worrie about the nimute and second and millsecond and just do the math to begin with and end up with. 

SetTime( 308,0,0,0);

               WhiZard,
Thank you ! Now it makes sense to me.
The help you and others here give is of great value to those of us that are still learning.
Thanks again,
Ed

               Lightfoot8,
The script is set on a trigger, on a docked ship, after a 12 day trip.
I realy am a good welder and machinist, but sadly lacking in computer background.
I started as a builder, with no more than the toolset, and my own personal harddrive full of useless crap.
I have learned a great deal, through tutorials, the Lexicon, and the help of others like yourself.
I am doing my best to learn the shortcuts that have been provided to me, but still have a long way to go. But, that's okay, I enjoy the chance to learn new things.
I want to say thank you for the help, you have given me today. It is greatly appreciated.
I fixed the original script, and left it in the mod. I have pasted the scripts in this thread into a word dock I use to save scripts  for future use.
Thank you for your input,
ED
