Realtime + Tint Screen

[Blizzy]

i know this isn't a toturial,
but i don't know where to post it else.

paste this above main,
and edit the tones / durations to whatever you want.

Cool script! It works! Nice job!

[tdata]

I would add a way to disable it while in a building.

[Blizzy]

well, you can easy do that :O
this makes it only appear in the maps with * in the name

if $game_map.name.include?("*")
# code block
end

[tdata]

lol, undefined function. I'm using a switch.

[Blizzy]

oh yeah, i forgot that.
there should be a function on rmxp.net forums,
but i can't find it at the moment.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

What about the windows of houses.. Is there some way to make them illuminate in darkness? (Assuming the window's background is transparent)
Anyway great tutorial blizzy ;) Excellent work as always. I thought about trying this once, but it was just too long to script. Yours is nice, short and straight to the point :)

[Falnax]

Is there a way to make a realtime switch for area teleports? In the game I'm working on I just have different areas for night and day, because that way there's nothing effecting the inside, I can light up the windows, and the NPCs are different at night as they are in the day...I just need the switch to make them work...

[tdata]

You can do that by calling using the time part of the script.

[Krazy_Meerkat]

Yeah you could add some code to the script to turn on a switch if it night-time..
It has been so long since I used rgss, so this won't be right at all but it has to be something like this:
In the *Time update part, it needs to do this.
if @hour>=18
if game_switch.[0] = false
game_switch.[0] == true
end
end
The game switch will result true if the time is past 6pm.. You would have to do the actual code yourself..

[Blizzy]

first post is updated.

Tint screen only works if a mapname has a '*' in the name

[tdata]

^_^ Still doesn't work with the * . it has a problem with [@map_id] It says that [] is undefined...

[Eversoquiet]

can someone tell me how can i use this script? (can i use it in pkmn sapphire?)

[Space Guard]

can someone tell me how can i use this script? (can i use it in pkmn sapphire?)
No you can't use this script in your Pokémon Sapphire Game.
This script will only work on a game making program called RMXP.

Anyway about your scrpit
Well Done! I might attempt to use it in my new game
You are one of the best RMXP scripters I have seen around
But I've never used RMXP before so I am a complete nOOb!

Well Done!

[Adam_148]

actually you can use real time on RM2K3, an easier game maker in my opinion, I use it sometimes for my comic,

[[_DarkDragon_]]

yay, this saves me time since I don't have to write my own xD

[Shaneypoo17]

this is Great! although it changes abit too quickly but that can easily be fixed ^^

[a week in kanto]

????? 'Realtime' ? ??? NameError undefined local variable or method duration for Realtime:Module

What do I have to do to fix that

[Kronos]

You must add an @ before duration - the only problem now is tint screen doesn't work.

[rebellee1187]

I'm having the same problems. Actually, I'm having a whole host of them...

Where do I paste this? My tint screen command doesn't work AT ALL in my version of the starter kit. How would I edit it *is a RMXP n00b*





Thanks in advance for any help I may get...

I'm having the same problems. Actually, I'm having a whole host of them...

1. Where do I paste this?
2. My tint screen command doesn't work AT ALL in my version of the starter kit.
3. How would I edit it *is a RMXP n00b*




Thanks in advance for any help I may get...
1. Create a new sript above Main and paste it there
2. The tint screen doesnt work because of the Anti-Lag script you can suffer lag or not use the tint screen funtion/ Day nightg sys.
3. Edit it, what do you mean edit it.
