The global function GetCurrentGameTime can be used to return the number of in-game days passed, including the fraction of the current day that has passed.

This function removes the portion of GetCurrentGameTime's return value that returns to previous in-game days, then converts the remaining portion to hours. 

float Function GetCurrentHourOfDay() 

	float Time = Utility.GetCurrentGameTime()
	Time -= Math.Floor(Time) ; Remove "previous in-game days passed" bit
	Time *= 24 ; Convert from fraction of a day to number of hours
	Return Time

EndFunction
