Check what day of the week it is

Question

So I have this day night cycle script that works on your computers time, and I was wondering if there's a way for it to know what day it is too? like Monday and stuff

the code: #pragma strict

 var color1 : Color = Color.red;
 var color2 : Color = Color.blue;
 
 var Day : Light;
 var Night : Light;
 
 var dt = Date();
 
 var timetext : GUIText;
  
 function Update () {
  
 var day = dt.Now.Day.ToString();
  
 var month = dt.Now.Month.ToString();
  
 var year = dt.Now.Year.ToString();
  
 var hours = dt.Now.Hour.ToString();
         
 var minutes = dt.Now.Minute.ToString();
  
     if (parseInt(minutes) < 10) minutes = "0" + minutes;
  
 var seconds = dt.Now.Second.ToString();
  
     if(parseInt(seconds) < 10) seconds = "0" + seconds;
 
 timetext.text = day + "/" + month + "/" + year + "   " + hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
 
 if(parseInt(hours) > 19)
 {
     Day.enabled = false;
     Night.enabled = true;
     camera.backgroundColor = color2;
 }
     
 if(parseInt(hours) < 7)
 {
     Day.enabled = false;
     Night.enabled = true;
 }
         
 if(parseInt(hours) < 19)
 {
     Day.enabled = true;
     Night.enabled = false;
     camera.backgroundColor = color1;
 }
             
 if(parseInt(hours) > 7)
 {
     Day.enabled = true;
     Night.enabled = false;
 }
 }

Here's a c# function: dateValue.DayOfWeek

If you want to code it then you can find required logic, formula with explanation here: Determination of the day of the week

It does work with javascript also.

This is the demo code for using it:

 import System;
 
 function Start () {
     var dt: DateTime = new DateTime(2003, 5, 1);
     Debug.Log(dt.DayOfWeek);
 }

You need to use 'import System' specified at the top for this to work.

It is just the values for year, month, and day. Nothing much. :-)

// Update is called once per frame void Update () {

     day = (int)System.DateTime.Now.Day;

}

No, just no. The Day property returns the day of the month. Also this question has already been answered four years ago. The question specifically asked for the DayOfWeek
