Alright modders, rally up! What are we gonna do about callbackless daycycles?

[Lugnut]

What does mFloor do again

Doesn't it mess this up?

well theoretically it would take 5555 or 5.555 and turn it into 5000 or 5

We only want it to trigger at 0 and not at 0.333 right?

[Lugnut]

exactly.
that's why we call mfloor so we don't get 0.333.

Um
what
But then
Uh
I'm tired what the forget

If you call mFloor it might trigger two times a noon
Or?

Your idea appears to return true every time getSimTime() equals a multiple of the time of day.

this is bad :(

what ho! this script will cause it to return WHAT SECOND OUT OF THE WHOLE DAYCYCLE LOOP IT IS

for example, if we're 15 seconds into a 60 second loop, it will return 15!

Code: [Select]

function getDayCycleTime()
{
%t = getSimTime();

%l = DayCycle.dayLength;

%t = %t / 1000;

%r = mFloor(%t % %l);

return %r;
}

Yes, of course that will do that... And if it's 0 it should be midnight

[Lugnut]

0 is dawn.

[Mold]

0 is noon.

Doesn't matter. This is the day cycle, you can see the sun flare move accross the sky.

BTW, this is the only problem with the system, and it's actually a problem with the default daycycle. my math is sound.

... see attached image, once i add it.

Btw, this probabl won't work if the daycycle isn't started with the server by a gamemode or script, aka, later, and offset has to be put after %t=%t/1000 with a - operator

No. The Daycycle's position through it's travels is directly locked to getSimTime().

PS, I'll be using your code for building an array when people add certain events to a brick for my onDay and onNight events.

I still think you have to care about the day cycle time offset
The slider under daycycle lap time

[Lugnut]

..... ggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

okay this is no big deal. I simply have to do some addition/subtraction based on percentages. easy.

[YourBuddyBill]

I wish I was awesome enough to be able to understand any of what you guys did.

[Chrono]

You seem to have forgotten offset somewhere in there.
