Save Custom Label with Date/Time

Zinph

Hi everyone, I want to create a custom label for the save game with Name and Date/Time. For example: Living Room February 22, 2025

I tried Save: Save or Load update label with Global Variable but I can only get the Name Living Room. I don't know how I can get the Date/Time.

I also tried changing Time display in Settings manager to custom format [var:5] MMMM dd, yyyy but the save name is Save 1(Living Room February 22, 2025).

Is there any way I can get the Date/Time and maybe save it to a Global Variable?
Thanks a lot!

Just found a way to store the Date/Time to Global Variable. Is there a better way to do it?

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using AC;

public class DateTimeToGlobalVariable : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int variableID;       

    public void GetDateTime()
    {        
        string dateTime = System.DateTime.Now.ToString("MMM dd,yyyy HH:mm");
        GlobalVariables.GetVariable(variableID).TextValue = dateTime;
    }
}

The "Time display" settings will only apply unless you override the label with a custom one. If you do override it, you'll need to incorporate the date into the custom label.

The script above will store the date into a string - you can use Variable: Set to combine it with another string that includes your custom label text.
