Title: Day and Night System
Post by: thepsynergist on March 22, 2007, 01:50:21 AM

I used a Day and Night system for my rm2k3 game.  What I wanted was to have a different variation of the overworld music to play based on the time of day.  Every time I try, it constantly restarts.  I used a parallel process on the world map, but I cannot find a way make it play once, and not constantly loop the moment it starts to play.  How do I fix this?

PS, I know it involves switches.
PPS, I use a 90 second wait command for the duration of the time of day.

Make two pages. One for if the night switch is on, and one for off.

Make the first page Day, with the night switch off. It should look like:

- Play Midi
-Loop
  - Wait 576075 (random numbers)
- End Loop

Do the exact same thing for the night page.

That easy,

That is simple enough, also when I use it for some reason all of the switches remain on, even when I turn them off.

Code:
<>ChangeSwitch (0001:day) ON
<>Wait 90.0 sec
<>ChangeSwitch (0001:day) OFF
<>ChangeSwitch (0002:dusk) ON
<>Wait 90.0 sec
<>ChangeSwitch (0002:dusk)OFF
<>ChangeSwitch (0003:night) ON
<>Wait 90.0 sec
<>ChangeSwitch (0003:night) OFF
<>ChangeSwitch (0004:dawn) ON
<>Wait 90.0 sec
<>ChangeSwitch (0004:dawn) OFF
<>ChangeSwitch (0001:day) ON

What is the problem?  This code is a parallel process within a common event.

Can someone tell me why all of the switches, as shown above, all turn on at once?  Please?

Never mind, I found the problem.
