I dont under stand the RPGM2K3 one!

[halfling2]

Can you copy and pastescripts coz that's really freakin' long.

[Webmaster Tyler]

Yea of cousre you can! that would be stupid if you couldnt

[funnybunny]

All you need are:

One Common Event.
Switch: Day Time
Switch: Night Time

Common Events:

Name: Day Night
Event Start Condition: Parallel Process
Event Commands: (start)

<>Cycle
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>switch:daytime off
<>switch: nigth time on
<>set screen tone: 50,50,50,100
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>switch: nigth time off
<>set screen tone: 100,100,100,100


Now you can do what ever you want with it!
O yea this is only for Rpg maker 2003

This won't work unless you have one big map, and I don't think most people will have. You code will reset once you have teleported(I think).

I would do it like this:

<>Cycle
<>var night +1
<>If var night = 300
<>switch:daytime off
<>switch: nigth time on
<>set screen tone: 50,50,50,100
<>End
<>If var night >= 600
<>switch:daytime on
<>switch: nigth time off
<>set screen tone: 100,100,100,100
<>Set var night to 0
<>End
<>wait 1.0
<>End cycle

This will also work when you teleport to an other map

[Datriot]

Yeah, I agree with you funnybunny, that's better for rm2k3, although I use a completely different system for my Day/Noght scripts.:)

[Webmaster Tyler]

<>If var night = 300
<>switch:daytime off

<>set screen tone: 50,50,50,100
<>End
<>If var night >= 600
<>switch:daytime on
<>switch: nigth time off
<>set screen tone: 100,100,100,100
<>Set var night to 0
<>End
<>wait 1.0
<>End cycle

This will also work when you teleport to an other map

But then if you use urs then if you go into a house it would be day and night in there to!

[funnybunny]

But then if you use urs then if you go into a house it would be day and night in there to!
Yes, but you can change it with the tint screen thing(same with yours too you know) but with my code the time will keep running so you can use the conditions better and you actully know when it is going to be day or night.

just place this after the teleport event when you enter the house

<>set screen tone: 100,100,100,100 wait 0.0

and place this after the teleport event when you leave the house

<>IF nigth time on
<>set screen tone: 50,50,50,100 wait 0.0
<>End
<>IF daytime on
<>set screen tone: 100,100,100,100 wait 0.0
<>End

That would fix the problem, also you can add the second code to a common event and call that, would save some time if you want to change something.

Well, here is how I programmed the Pokemon: Dawn Day/Night system. First and Foremost, you need to program the clock.

<>Branch if Var [Hours] is 0 or more
<>Tint: (R30, G30, B70, S120), Wait 1 sec
<>
:Else Handler
<>
:End
<>Branch if Var [Hours] is 6 or more
<>Tint: (R100, G60, B60, S120), Wait 1 sec
<>
:Else Handler
<>
:End
<>Branch if Var [Hours] is 9 or more
<>Tint: (R100, G100, B100, S100), Wait 1 sec

:End
<>Branch if Var [Hours] is 18 or more

Well, here is how I programmed the Pokemon: Dawn Day/Night system. First and Foremost, you need to program the clock.

It works for me...
would your code not change color all the time? sinds you used the "is # or more" instaid of the "same as", well if you tested it and it works good job then :).

PS I'm not sute if it is a paralel event of a call one. And the else cases can be removed, the have no function

Well, since there is no option that lets you choose 2 numbers and the event occurs when the value of the variable is between those 2 numbers, I used that system and it works extremely well for me. Using the 'same as' would make it more difficult, as you would have to program the event for each hour. BTW, the event is a call event.

Well I was thinking about your code and it still seems weird, Example:

var hour = 10 and you call the event because you came out of a house where the tint is (R100, G100, B100, S100)
<>Branch if Var [Hours] is 0 or more
<>Tint: (R30, G30, B70, S120), Wait 1 sec
<>
:End
What the code will do is change the tint to(R30, G30, B70, S120)
after a second it will continu to the next part of coding,
<>Branch if Var [Hours] is 6 or more
<>Tint: (R100, G60, B60, S120), Wait 1 sec
<>
:End
Because the variable is also higher then 6 he will then change the tint to (R30, G30, B70, S120) and continu to the next part of coding.
<>Branch if Var [Hours] is 9 or more
<>Tint: (R100, G100, B100, S100), Wait 1 sec
<>
:End
Same here.
<>Branch if Var [Hours] is 18 or more
<>Tint: (R100, G60, B60, S120), Wait 1 sec
<>
:End
<>Branch if Var [Hours] is 20 or more
<>Tint: (R30, G30, B70, S120), Wait 1 sec
<>
:End
this part he will skip 'cause the Branch prevents it.

So the result is when this event is called, the screen first goes dark to change back to the original tint :\
That seems a bit weird to me, I didn't test it but this is what will happen IMO(I could be wrong).

Actually, it does work perfectly, because coding like that acts as an in-between command (as I said, you can't choose 2 values and tell the event to occur between those variables.) This style of coding acts like choosing 2 values and having the event occur between. I would reccomend testing it before you say something like that...

ah I see, okay that is solved then :)

As for the testing, I don't have the clock code from you so I can't realy fully test it. Maybe post that too.

Ah, now the clock code is very extensive, so I will post a general version of it.
The event is a Parallel Process event

<>Wait 1 sec
<>Var Oper: [Seconds] +1
<>Branch if Var: [Seconds] is 60 or more
<>Var Oper: [Minutes] +1
<>Var Oper: [Seconds] Set 0
<>Branch if Var: [Minutes] is 60 or more
<>Var Oper: [Hours] +1
<>Var Oper: [Minutes] Set 0
<>Var Oper: [Seconds] Set 0

The clock I coded also includes Days, Months and Years (30 days per month, though.), and it is also set to change seasons based on the month, but this is the basic version of my clock. BTW, the wait command won't stop the hero from moving, what it does is count off the seconds and add 1 to the Variable seconds. After the Seconds variable hits 60, it resets and 1 is added to the vairable minutes. After that hits 60, it will add 1 to the variable hours and reset both minutes and seconds. If you want to go further, once the hours variable hits 24, reset it and add 1 to the day variable, and so on...

Hope this helps...

[ztrex]

Oh **** i can't understand a word of this...

[Cursed]

I think this is the best tutorial I've read so far.

[Shiny_link]

All you need are:

One Common Event.
Switch: Day Time
Switch: Night Time

Common Events:

Name: Day Night
Event Start Condition: Parallel Process
Event Commands: (start)

<>Cycle
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>switch:daytime off
<>switch: nigth time on
<>set screen tone: 50,50,50,100
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>wait 60 seconds
<>switch: nigth time off
<>set screen tone: 100,100,100,100


Now you can do what ever you want with it!
O yea this is only for Rpg maker 2003


with this one, when I go into a house or building it will come up with an error message. So whats wrong with it...

[PokemonXP]

I'm a noob and was wondering if all this posting of stuff is for XP or 00? I'm confused unless someone puts what its for. How do you make it, XP, so that the screen will tint at nighttime like in Pokemon GSC?

[Cursed]

Read the thread entirely.

[axlefoley]

Is there a way to get the game to recognise realtime?

[MasaXGPMat]

theres an error with the rmxp day and night system

it says ???? 'Day and Night' ? 584 ??? SyntaxError ?????

how do i fix it

[Ati]

Oh yeah sane prob with me, we might did something wrong...

this is my clock:

<> Wait 1 sec
<> Var [Seconds] += 1
<> Var [Seconds] % 61
<> Var [Minutes] % 61
<> Branch if Var [Seconds] == 60
<> Var [Minutes] += 1
<> End
<>Branch if Var [Minutes] == 60
<> Var [Hours] += 1
<>End

the % does this effect:
Var [value] % 11
result: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, etc.
