Vlue's Advanced Game Time help!

[Ryoshu]

I have been playing around with new scripts and experimenting etc and i have come to a roadblock. im working on a simulation project similar to rune factory and i am using vlue's advanced game time script to mark day time month etc. 

I'm not yet that experienced with modding scripts so i have a few questions to ask here.

anyone who is familiar with this script can you help me out with:

how to make events appear once a day. similar to games like rune factory and harvest moon where u can go to a point and pick up raw materials daily and once a day.

how to make time progress when you sleep.

how to fast forward time to the next day etc.

here is a link to the script here.

thanks to those who helps me with my noviceness.

You've come to the... well, place because I have answers! I'm sorta familiar with the script. So let's see.

Once a day events, you can use a seperate switch for each daily resource, then at the end of the day, have a common event run that turns all those switches off, it can be parallel process and set to do so every like.. 12am, or it can just be one you call each time you sleep.

Time progression: Script call like... 

GameTime.set("addhour",8)

would set time ahead by 8 hours.

Fast forward time to the next day... Also easy, like if you wanted it to be 6am the next day.. Script call:

GameTime.set("addday",1)

GameTime.change(0,0,6)

One call to forward the day, and one to change the hour to 6am

hey vlue how about making things happen at certain times of the day and npc appearing at certains times etc.

The best and easiest way to do events happening only at certain times would be if we could set up pages to only be active at certain times... but alas that just isn't... wait a minute... it tottally is! Now, I may not be the only one who's had this idea, but I am the one you're talking to, so if you use this script:

http://pastebin.com/e7B2zddW

Aptly called the Script Event Page Conditions script (or Script that makes it so you can set more conditions for pages script for short, don't blame me, I don't name these things (I do, I'm sorry it's late, I think I'm funny)).. moving on.

With that script in, you could put a comment at the top of the page of an event that says something like...

SC: if GameTime.hour? == 6

Then that page of the event will only be active if it's 6am, and if it's the only page, then it won't even be there unless it's 6am! 

Hope that's enough info.

The other method would be parallel process events and switches and other complications, etc. etc. bunny.

hey vlue its me again. can u tell me how to stop time? i tried following your instructions on the script page but i think im doing it wrong because it didnt work.

 

[Vlue]

Should just be a script call:


GameTime.notime(true)


and then to start time


GameTime.notime(false)

 

[Ryoshu]

Should just be a script call:

GameTime.notime(true)

and then to start time

GameTime.notime(false)

do i write it exactly like tht in the comment box of the event page?

 

[Vlue]

Not a comment box, but a script box. Page 3, last command.
