I want to draw few lines each day at 6:45, 10:00, 14:30 and 16:00 so my code looks this way:

datetime setTime(string godzina){
        int dzien, miesiac, rok;
        string szablon;
        datetime czas;
        dzien   = TimeDay(TimeCurrent());
        miesiac = TimeMonth(TimeCurrent());
        rok     = TimeYear(TimeCurrent());

        szablon = rok + "." + miesiac + "." + dzien + " ";

        czas = StrToTime(szablon+godzina);
        return (czas);
}

int start()
  {
   for (int j = 0; j < iBars(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1); j++){
      int k = iBars(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1) - j;
      ObjectCreate("start1"+k, OBJ_VLINE, 0, setTime("06:45")-j*86400, 0);
      ObjectCreate("end1"+k, OBJ_VLINE, 0, setTime("10:00")-j*86400, 0);
      ObjectCreate("start2"+k, OBJ_VLINE, 0, setTime("14:30")-j*86400, 0);
      ObjectCreate("end2"+k, OBJ_VLINE, 0, setTime("16:00")-j*86400, 0);
   }


Some variables are not in English but I think you'll get the point. I thought maybe I should place it in the init instead of start, but it wouldn't work the next day.
Is there any way I could do it in the init?

Do it in start() but not on every single tick . . . search the forum for "once per bar" then adapt the code/ideas you find to suit your needs.
 
That's a good idea. Thanks :)
 

Don't even need once per bar, just code it like a normal indicator
