I want to make it so every 5 minutes in game I increase some variables. This is normally easy but I am stumped when it comes to fast traveling, sleeping, and waiting. How do I make it so those variables continue to increase during those events?

Use http://www.creationkit.com/GetCurrentGameTime_-_Utility and do the math after http://www.creationkit.com/Function_for_Time_of_Day
Or look at my http://www.creationkit.com/Complete_Example_Scripts#Script_for_a_quest_with_time_limit

This code should also do the trick :

Int DayFloat HourFloat TimePassed; somewhere, onceDay = GameDaysPassed.GetValueInt()Hour = GameHour.GetValue(); thenif ( Day == GameDaysPassed.GetValueInt() )	 if ( Hour != GameHour.GetValue() )		  TimePassed = GameHour.GetValue() - Hour	 endifelse	 TimePassed = GameHour.GetValue() + (24.0 - Hour)endifif ( TimePassed*60 as int >= 5 )int IncreaseTime = ((TimePassed*60 as int)/5) as intYourVariable += (YourSomething)*IncreaseTimeendif

Ah, I guess its kind of a complicated thing to do... Thanks for the help.

Just record your starting time and then calculate the value whenever you need it. It should just be the elapsed game time (in days) multiplied by 288 (24 hours and another 12 to get the 5-minute interval).

((Utility.GetCurrentGameTime() - InitialGameTime) * 288) as int

You can either recalculate in the event where you need the value, or if you're using it for some condition, you'll probably want to have it updated regularly with something more like this.

float InitialGameTimeint FiveMinuteElapsedCountFunction GettingStarted()    InitialGameTime = Utility.GetCurrentGameTime()    RegisterForSingleUpdateGameTime(0.0833) ; approx. 5 minEndFunctionEvent OnUpdateGameTime()    FiveMinuteElapsedCount = ((Utility.GetCurrentGameTime() - InitialGameTime) * 288) as int    RegisterForSingleUpdateGameTime(0.0833) ; approx. 5 minEndEvent

Ok thanks!
Going to try this today! One more question. Is it possible to check to see how many of these updates occurred while the player was asleep?
