what_day_of_scenario()

I find this call to be somehwat depressing. Now and then it works, but lately it fails to do anything. I'm talking about the following piece of script:

 

Code:

 	if (get_flag(6,1) == 0) {			if (get_flag(5,2) == 0) {					if (what_day_of_scenario() > 2) {							set_flag(5,2,1);							erase_char(7);							}					}			} 

Here, what_day_of_scenario refuses to work. Right now, my party is standing outside the town to which this script belongs. It is day 3, and character 7 is not erased, nor is the flag set to 1. I took the if call containing what_day_of_scenario() out, and it worked. Also, the flags 5,2 and 6,1 are 0 at the time that this chunk of code is run. So indeed: from my tests the what_day_of_scenario call is to blame. Would anybody know what's causing this?

 

EDIT: So in the end it did work, but only on day 4... How come?

Avernum counts from 0, not 1. Thus, the first day of the scenario is Day 0, the second is Day 1, and so forth.

Aaah... Thanks a bunch Nioca! I'll keep it in mind for other moments I use this, and other, similar, calls.
