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

i want to detect is it a Sunday or not ?
it is so simple, just follow the below line of code

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

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

}
