Day/Night script and pictures

[Lothloran]

So here's a general rundown of what I've been trying to figure out for the last two days with trial and error/googleing

I'm using the "Basic Game Time + Night/Day" script (Here: https://www.rpgmakercentral.com/topic/3225-basic-game-time-nightday/) and it's very nice

But what I'd like to have happen is for the time of day to work as a switch to change the picture on the map, IE; day-time = sunbeams, night-time = moonbeams, dawn = something similar.

I've tried conditional branches, switches, variables, etc etc. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

I was initially going to suggest altering the script, but (due to advice) if you are planning to work this through events, $game_time is a global variable made from this script, meaning that it can be called anywhere. In other words, you can set up your Conditions as:

Condtional Branch * Script : $game_time == 240
-Move Picture[1] (opacity 0) (duration 120)
-Move Picture[2] (opacity 128) (duration 120)
Condtional Branch * Script : $game_time == 360
-Move Picture[2] (opacity 0) (duration 300)
-Move Picture[3] (opacity 128) (duration 300)

...I would probably start by "initializing" the pictures somewhere in your intro (at 0 opacity each), and this is assuming that time works nicely across maps, so you may need to add more Move Pics for 0 opacity. But yeah, $game_time is the key here.
