[Custom Feature Question] Global weather but only on outdoor maps

[Zanlan]

Hello Internet, first post, first try on a Pokemon X Back to Nature game.

I want have a day system where going to bed changes the weather for today and sets a new one for tomorrow so I can display it on the tv.

Currently done :

weather today = weather tomorrow;
weather tomorrow = new weather;

$game_screen.weather(:weather today,power,duration)

As soon as I use the script event "$game_screen.weather()" the weather starts to appear inside the players house.

The PBS file "metadata.txt" shows an Outdoor option but it's only for tinting & fly (DUH!?).

What can I do to show my global & daily weather only on outdoor maps?

Hello Zanlan. The internet has heard you!
So, $game_screen.weather overrides any metadata checks that requires the map to be an outdoor one.
What do we do then?
Depending on how you calculate which weather appears, will depend on how it is stored
Let us assume you know how to store future weather, and there is some sort of variable for today's weather
The TV should call to that variable rather than directly to "$game_screen.weather"
To allow only outdoor maps to show the weather, you must call the method upon entry to a new map

So, it would look something like:

EventHandlers.add(:on_enter_map, :change_weather,
  proc { |_old_map_id|
    next if !$game_map
    next unless $game_map.metadata&.outdoor_map
    # next unless # TODAY'S WEATHER IS SET!
    $game_screen.weather(:weather today,power,duration)
  }
)

The only time this won't work is if you set the weather in an outside map, but that would not be the most comfortable nap!

Hope this helps!
