Morning, Day, Night

[evmaster]

I got the day and night part figured, but I can't figure out how to do a third one. Like, bright is morning, a little darker for Day, and very dark for Night. Events with 3 pages with switiches just doesn't work.

Go here for a great Internal Clock/Day-Night tutorial.  I used this and based my season system off it.  It is rather easy to follow.

The trick is simple, as I have one in my game.
1st, make two common events and 5 switches.

Name the switches, Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night, and Outside.

2nd, make a common event.  Make the event as follows:
<>Turn Switch Day ON
<>Wait X sec (however long you want)
<>Turn Switch Day OFF
<>Turn Switch Dusk ON
<> Wait X sec
<>Turn Switch Dusk OFF
<>Turn Switch Night ON
<>Wait X sec
<>Turn Switch Night OFF
<>Turn Switch Dawn ON
<>Wait X sec
<>Turn Switch Dawn OFF

Be sure to set as a paralell process.

3rd, make a common event that only activates if the outside switch is on.  Set as follows:
<>Fork if Switch Day is ON
  <>Set Screen Tone (R100,B100,G100,S100), 2.0 sec(W)
<>Fork if Switch Dusk is ON
  <>Set Screen Tone (R80,B80,G80,S100), 2.0 sec(W)
<>Fork if Switch Night is ON
  <>Set Screen Tone (R60,B80,G60,S100), 2.0 sec(W)
<>Fork if Switch Dawn is ON
  <>Set Screen Tone (R100,B70,G50,S100), 2.0 sec(W)

4th, Make sure that on the world map or any map that you are outside, make a paralell process event that turns the outside switch on.  But make a new page within the event that turns on if the outside switch is on.  Don't make any event commands on this page, except to set the event start to Push Key.  This prevents lag.

5th, for every teleport event that takes you inside a building or cave, etc., turn the outside switch off.  That way time will still pass, but it won't show inside a building.

I hope I explained thoroughly enough, and I hope that this helps you.
