How would it be possible to manage something to that affect?
Reading through the wikis and c++ references, from what I understand, I would want to use Gettime() then afterwards use FormatTime() to get the relevant day out of the system. then apparently I would have to pass %A to get the report of the day from the time.
Would this give a string "Sunday" ?

I am ultimately looking to do something along the lines of;

OnDayExecute("Sunday")
{
	//things here
}

if you want a function like OnDayExecute( ) (a forward actually), you need to create your own forward wich requires a custom .inc

I made a stock wich returns current day

stock fn_GetDay(String:output[])
{
    new String:day[16];
    FormatTime(day,sizeof(day),"%A",GetTime());
    
    strcopy(output,sizeof(day),day);
}

How to use it:

public example()
{
    new String:today[16];
    fn_GetDay(today);
    
    PrintToChatAll("today is :  %s",today);
}

stock fn_GetDay(String:output[])
{
    new String:day[16];
    FormatTime(day,sizeof(day),"%A",GetTime());
    
    strcopy(output,sizeof(day),day);
}

Or example 2, to check if is your required day:

public example_2()
{
    new String:today[16];
    fn_GetDay(today);
    
    if(StrEqual(today,"Sunday"))
    {
        // today is Sunday 
    }
}

stock fn_GetDay(String:output[])
{
    new String:day[16];
    FormatTime(day,sizeof(day),"%A",GetTime());
    
    strcopy(output,sizeof(day),day);
}

Or I could simply put the bits that I need at the bottom of the code, rather than making it an .INC.

so what you're telling me is I could do..

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>

#define MY_PLUGIN_NAME    "Sunday Plugin"
#define MY_PLUGIN_VERSION "1.0.0"
#define MY_PLUGIN_AUTHOR  "DDRKhat"

public Plugin:myinfo = 
{
    name        = "Sunday Plugin",
    author      = "DDRKhat",
    description = "A plugin that only executes stuff on Sunday!",
    version     = "1.0",
    url         = ""
}

public OnPluginStart()
{
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

public example_2()
{
    new String:today[16];
    fn_GetDay(today);
    if(StrEqual(today,"Sunday"))
    {
        server_print("[SM] Today is Sunday!")
    }
}

stock fn_GetDay(String:output[])
{
    new String:day[16];
    FormatTime(day,sizeof(day),"%A",GetTime());
    strcopy(output,sizeof(day),day);
}

what the fuck ?
#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>

Here we talking about sourcemod. ROFL

I meant sourcemod XD Sorry, Natural habit to include those.. last time I did much with PAWN was AMXX.. Nice catch.

[SAMURAI16]

I saw you updated code. I guess i have to say what is wrong
example_2() is never called
return PLUGIN_CONTINUE don't need to be in OnPluginStart() ; Also 'PLUGIN_CONTINUE' doesen't exists in SM; it's Plugin_Continue

[Lebson506th]

And there is no "server_print" function

PrintToChat
PrintToChatAll
PrintToServer
PrintToConsole

Another AMXX habit.. I have the same problem from coding so much for Natural Selection

Well, do remember it's just a demonstration to make sure I understand, is not the code I intend to implement in the end. but.

#include <sourcemod>
#include <sdktools>

public Plugin:myinfo = 
{
    name        = "Sunday Plugin",
    author      = "DDRKhat",
    description = "A plugin that only executes stuff on Sunday!",
    version     = "1.0",
    url         = ""
}

public OnPluginStart()
{
    example_2()
    return PLUGIN_Continue
}

public example_2()
{
    new String:today[16];
    fn_GetDay(today);
    if(StrEqual(today,"Sunday"))
    {
        PrintToConsole("[SM] Today is Sunday!")
    }
}

stock fn_GetDay(String:output[])
{
    new String:day[16];
    FormatTime(day,sizeof(day),"%A",GetTime());
    strcopy(output,sizeof(day),day);
}

Well its Plugin_Continue not PLUGIN_Continue.

And I would make a command to return the result instead of calling it on plugin start.

Something like RegConsoleCmd and use the command callback.
