It's very easy if you do it with attention:

1 - You must have a system that determinates what's the hour (you can find it here).
2 - When you hero goes sleep, simple add 12 to this system above.

If you can't find the system:

1 - Create a new event on common events and set it paralel process ativate by none switch.
2 - Name it Time and at commands place this:
 
- Add 1 to variable TIME.
- Wait 3600 (sixty minutes, one hour). - Make a lot of wait to get this quanty.
- Fork conditional - If TIME is equal or above 0
Change screen tone (collor) to darkness one
- Fork conditional - If TIME is equal or above 8
Change screen tone (color) to morning one.
- Fork conditional - If TIME is equal or above 16
Change screen tone (collor) to afternoon one.
- Fork conditional - If TIME is equal or above 24
Subtract 24 of variable TIME

I hope it's work, I didn't test!

In video games, you usually want short days, approximately 1 minutes to 10 minutes

He can change the wait time.

I have found that using 12 hours as a sleep time is silly in systems like this one.

Sleep for 4-8 hours at a time.

OR.... if the time of day is a large factor in your on-map events...
Try giving the player the option to have a nap (2-4 hours) Or a long sleep (7-10 hours)

I know there is a tutorial somewhere on charas for making this system.... Some screen tinting, and a few eventsw to Illuminate windows and light posts at night will add a nice touch

Events that only happen at night are sweet.

Good luck soldier

I can't make a working night and day system myself...

[lonewolf]

thank for all the help it given me lot to think on

[RadiantWind]

Koshi, it looks good, but I think that a loop should be put beneath the wait part

Try giving the player the option to have a nap (2-4 hours) Or a long sleep (7-10 hours)

Reminds me of Oblivion...

Kinda
Although with any of the Elder Scrolls you sleep in increments of hours, up to a day
Now I want to know how to do this in Game Maker, without it restarting the time every time I leave the room

Make it a parallel event.
