time riddles

[Drakkan]

Hello script masters around. Somebody was already able to crack how to script / make time riddles ? I want make magical bridge visible only in particular time of the day.

I've been flirting with a timemachine

So far I've not uncovered much. But I have this http://www.zorglubb.net/grimrock/dropzo ... achine.mp4

This is what I've found out so far.
The commande GameMode.setTimeOfDay() changes the skybox.
so 0 seems to be dawn, and about 0.5 is high day, then just before 1 we go into dusk and just after 1 we have night that stays until we go back to 0

The lever in the video simply starts a timer that calls this function

Code: Select all

function timemachine()
	clock = 0 else

    GameMode.setTimeOfDay(clock)
	clock = clock + 0.01
	hudPrint(""..clock.."")
	
	end
	
end

I haven't figured out how I can query for time, and if time is this or that then do .... (like I wan't to query for the time after 1 until 0 again, to spawn fireflies only in the night etc)
If anyone has any insight, I'm all ears

That's cool, how did you find that GameMode-object?
Edit: Just tested and you can query time with command: GameMode.getTimeOfDay()
so you can just use a timer which executes a script where you check if it's time to show the bridge or do something else, should be easy.

sounds quite esay, still too complicate to me In case you will be boring can you please write the scrpt ?

Something like this (not tested)
bridge_check script entity

Code: Select all

-- show bridge between timeofday 0.5 and 0.7
function brigeShowCheck(timer)
	if GameMode.getTimeOfDay() > 0.5 and GameMode.getTimeOfDay() < 0.7 then
		--show bridge
	end
end

place a timer to the level where your bridge is located and set desired interval for eg. 10 secs. And then add a connector and attach its onActivate-event to bridge_check.script:bridgeShowCheck
