Day & Night Cycle Script Download + Tutorial!

Added 2023-05-26 12:23:52 +0000 UTC

The day and night script and tutorial video is now finished! As I mentioned before, this is a Patreon exclusive video for those of you in the Supporter tier or higher.

There's two scripts for this tutorial. One uses screens with imagebuttons to make scenes that can be interacted with, while the other one uses only labels with choices.

I hope you'll enjoy it and find it useful! 😊 Do leave a comment down below and like this post if you do! 👍❤️

⭐ Tips and info on using the script ⭐

1. Changing the time of day the game starts in:

To change the time of the day the game starts in, you'll need to also set the activity points to match this. Otherwise the bar showing the time of day will get out of sync. To do this, you'll do something similar to the "next_day" function, but you want to initialize the variable with the correct value instead, like in the screenshot below.

Here I have set the starting time of day to be "afternoon" instead of "morning". That means the points needs to now be from 5 to 9 points as that range represents the afternoon (morning: 0 - 4, afternoon: 5 - 9, night: 10 - 20). This of course assumes you have your "activity_points_TOD" variable set to 5.

For this you can set the "activity_points" variable to the value you want that's within the appropriate range, or set it to the start of the time of day by using a calculation as shown in the screenshot. For that you need to swap the locations of the "activity_points" variable and "activity_points_TOD" variable.
