[Scripting Question] Always Day Toggle Script?

[Eschatos]

I remember playing a few games (can't remember which ones) that had the option to force daytime. I'd like to have something like that in my options list but I haven't found anything like that.

There should ne be something in the settings script section called ENABLETIMESHADING ro something along those lines which will force the game to day only.

Check out ENABLESHADING in Settings. Maybe you could set this to a game switch instead of just either true or false.

I have absolutely zero idea how to make a new switch.

Game switches can most easily be made in the events page under "Control Switches...". Set a name for the switch like "Always Day". Here's how you'll have to change the scripts for this to work (Use Ctrl+Shift+F to find code sections and replace "x" with the number of the switch you made):

Find "return @cachedTone if !ENABLESHADING" and replace it with "return @cachedTone if $game_switches[x]".

Find "@sprite.visible = !ENABLESHADING # Can't time-tone a colored sprite" and replace it with "@sprite.visible = $game_switches[x] # Can't time-tone a colored sprite".

Find "if ENABLESHADING && $game_map && pbGetMetadata($game_map.map_id,MetadataOutdoor)" and replace it with
"if !$game_switches[x] && $game_map && pbGetMetadata($game_map.map_id,MetadataOutdoor)"

Find this section and paste the bolded code so that the switch can be changed from the Options menu:

       EnumOption.new(_INTL("Text Speed"),[_INTL("Slow"),_INTL("Normal"),_INTL("Fast")],
         proc { $PokemonSystem.textspeed },
         proc {|value|
           $PokemonSystem.textspeed = value 
           MessageConfig.pbSetTextSpeed(pbSettingToTextSpeed(value)) 
         }
       ),
       EnumOption.new(_INTL("Battle Effects"),[_INTL("On"),_INTL("Off")],
         proc { $PokemonSystem.battlescene },
         proc {|value| $PokemonSystem.battlescene = value }
       ),
[B]       EnumOption.new(_INTL("Map Shading"),[_INTL("Normal"),_INTL("Always Day")],
         proc { $game_switches[x] },
         proc {|value| $game_switches[x] = value }
       ),[/B]

       ),[/B]

I added in everything , except I wasn't able to find
"if ENABLESHADING && $game_map && pbGetMetadata($game_map.map_id,MetadataOutdoor)".

The option shows up but without that last bit it won't work.

Never mind, I found it. Was under PField_Time.

Got it working, thanks!
