set hours of myDate to 11
set minutes of myDate to 45
set seconds of myDate to 0

The AppleScript date type has no properties named "hours", "minutes", or "seconds". It has, instead, a single property named time which holds the number of seconds since midnight on the day given by the rest of the properties. You can use the built-in constants minutes (defined as 60) and hours (defined as 60 × 60 = 3600), which I didn't know about until this thread, to assemble a time value legibly:

set time of myDate to 11 * hours + 45 * minutes + 0

PS: in a script I wrote some weeks ago, I started either 70 years ago or last
year and add 1 day per "repeat", skipping Sundays or skipping the whole week
except Sunday or the seven days a week to generate a long (from around 150 to
approx 800) lines without trouble (it tooks me many head shaking on the wall /
minutes to wrote it).

What was the goal of that script? I don't quite understand what it did.
