Well I want it yo be when if (Hour()==16&&Minute()==45). Obviously I am missing something pretty basic.
Wanting it to be true is not enough, you will have to make it happen:
if (Hour()==16&&Minute()==45){
Print("Executing Expert");
found = true;
}
Thanks. When I go to compile I get found variable not defined. If I add int found; I get found variable already defined. Any help would be appreaciated.

Does it work?
Nope. When I go to compile I get found variable not defined. If I add int found; asd in the code above I get found variable already defined. Any help would be appreaciated.
