Day and Night

[Xinux]

The server now keep's track if it is day or night and I've added LUA functions to support it. It will be active next time I update NT.

Examples

Code: Select all

function use(Item, Player)

	if IsDay(Player) then
	    SendMessageToPlayer(Player, "daytime.")
	end
	
	if IsNight(Player) then
	    SendMessageToPlayer(Player, "Night Time.")
	end

end

OH sweet !

We can use this to have certain mobs spawn at day time or night time only ?

Yes if you are using the SpawnNPC() function and want to check if it's day or night.

I really would like to add a column in the unreal_location_placement so it can be applied to all npc something like 0 = normal 1 = day 2 = night but need to get zippy's input on this since he did a lot of the spawning code.

Oh man you guys are awesome

I was wracking my brains how to implement the by night Quest spawns without flooding the Tremean farm area with spawns of various wolfs if to many players where doing that series of quest at same time.

Now this will help ill go change the quest scripts to check for night time now.

Very nice!

Thanks to Foof you can now set a spawn to only spawn day, night or both now so no need to do it via lua in most situations.

Under the location tab of a spawn you will now see spawn_cycle which is where you can set the value.

0 = day/night
1 = day
2 = night
