Date Based Events?

[RaulCortez]

Hey guys!

I was thinking about this since i'd love to implement this on my game, but I don't know if it's a possibility.

I know I can make an event appear or disappear according to the time of day or day of the week, but I wanted to know if I can actually make them appear at a specific date of the year, as well.

Let's say a legendary pokemon that appears on October the 31st, or maybe the look of a town changes on December 24th (By ornaments appearing on the houses - those could be events as well, etc.)

So date based events. Hopefully you got the gist of it. Is that possible? Thanks!

def pbIsDate?(month,day)
  mo=Time.now.month
  da=Time.now.day
  return true if mo==month && da==day
  return false
end

then name a few of your switches things like "s:pbIsDate?(10,31)" and "s:pbIsDate?(12,24)" and make your events run on those switches

Thanks a bunch, man! That's just what i needed!

Just one question though, where should i put that piece of code exactly? on which script in specific?

I figured i'd ask before i go around putting things on the wrong places and getting a load of errors {XD}

I'd suggest in its own script section above Main, but theoretically, adding it to the very bottom of any script section is fine. Just as long as you don't put it inside another function or class or module or something.

Perfect, I'll put it on its own section then. Thanks a lot, I'll make sure to credit you for this!
