[Solved] Day & Night Scripts Question Options

[Hedgen]

Hi, I was looking between two different scripts that add day/night to the game, and I was wondering. Can I make it so there are more aggressive monsters at night? (higher spawn rate, more attack, more defense, etc.) The two scripts I was looking at are

http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....showtopic=35105
and
http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7619

I know nothing about RGSS coding but I looked at the script and saw nothing in there about that and wondered if there was some way of making the script be able to do that. Is it possible?

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I tried looking but didn't find anything, if it has then I probably didn't type the right keywords in.

Those two scripts are very different.

The first script reads the time from your computer, and uses that to state whether the time is day or night.
If you use the first script, edit it so that just after @time_stamp = Time.new it has the code:

CODE

$game_switches[123] = @time_stamp.hour > 18

After you insert that line, it will set switch 123 (you can change which switch it looks at, 123 is an example) to true if it is night time (after 6pm), or false if it is not night time (before 6pm).


The second link doesn't have a script at all in the first post.
If you follow the link Blizzard posted which leads here, it has "in game" time, where the time in the game is not related to the time in the real world.
This second script contains the code:

CODE

  # switch ID of the "night" switch
  NSWITCH = 52

Which sets switch 52 to true if it is night time.

Oh ok, I get it now. My friend had to explain to me what you said ^^' Thanks

(I am stupid when it comes to RGSS )

[Show/Hide] All the edits except for the last one

Edit: I guess I am going with the computer time one, since I am, I am going to have four different "times", dawn, day, dusk, and night. How would I edit that script to be able to have four different times, and then would I just need 4 switches for the different times? (Or is what I'm asking would need to majorly change the script?)

Edit 2:Oh I noticed in the comments that You edited the script to do this, Nevermind the last edit (Now I just need to make the enemy's during different times...) (unless this is in replies of it as well xD )

Edit 3: Ok I love you now <-< cause of http://www.rpgrevolution.com/forums/index....st&p=361563 xD

Edit 4: Ok I read through the script instructions, do I still need to do

CODE

#       On each map you want the tint set by this script, make an event as follows:
#        [Parallel Process Event]
#         Turn on switch 3
#         Loop
#               Script... Check_Time.new
#               Wait 1 frame
#         End Loop

Or do I just add the variables into the event window?

Edit 5: I can't get this to work I looked through the discussion about this script and have tried turning the switch on and it doesn't tint the game. I tried the "original" way of installing it on the maps but that didn't work either. What do I put into the Edit Event window?

Edit 6: Ok I got it to change times, finally How would I go about making it so monsters spawn at different times though? Would that be a script thing?

Edit 7: I think I know how to make different monsters at different times, but if it would activate then I think it would work fine. Which variable constant is what time? is 1 night, 2 dawn, 3 day, 4 dusk?

This is the Event I am using to try to make it so there are different monsters during different times of the day (It is a Troops event, it makes it so it randomly makes monsters appear and if the way I did it work, make it so it is different kind of monsters depending on the day)

[Show/Hide] Events I tried using for making monsters appear at different times

I decided to type the entire code up of what I am trying to use for having different monsters at different times. The monstergen is a random monster generator my friend showed me how to make, and I thought the different monsters at different times would work with this also.
Without the Time conditional branches, the monster's appear just fine but with it, it just stays as the "randomizer" monster.

The conditions I set are Turn 0 + 0 X

Edit 8: I got it to work, apparently I forgot to change the Switch event back to Parallel Process so it wasn't turning on. Thanks for the help
