Let's say I have this event
Trigger:
  • Game - The in-game time of day becomes Equal to 12.00


Is that a periodic event?

No. A periodic event occurs every ___ amount of time... *avoids the obvious crass joke* ^.^

but this does occur every x amount of time.

It just written in a different way.

Every day at 12game time x actions occur. so instead of the time interval being "every 5 sec" its something like "every 420 sec" depending on the game constant.

This is as I understand it

it can be used as a periodic event that can be paused without turning off the whole trigger though... it is possible to pause the time of day or change how fast it goes, however pausing the time of day will pause all events based off of this, its something nice for arena events and things like that

So if I use a trigger with real time seconds and someone pauses the game, will that keep on running then, based on what you've said?

no, the time of day in the game can be paused without pausing the game or turning off the trigger

Is this an actual event? This could have some cool uses, if so...

But yeah, you can change the day's cycle speed or you can flat out just stop the time. Or even set the time of day to trigger the trigger :O. Such fun.

Man this idea cool. Sorry, just had to post that :D.

ya its a very cool/usefull tool... its like having a timer that follows your personal rules...

the only problem is any event based off the time will be affected by this, but that could be considered a plus if you mean to pause a specific set of triggers etc

All timers do, if you know how to handle them.

Libraries such as TimerUtils make timer handling so much easier

the only thing you cant change on timers is the speed, as far as i know, but game time can be triggered to move at varrying speeds, actually i just thought of a cool effect....

to drastically speed up the time of day in the game for a short period of time to represent days passing... :D !

is the time of day MPI? (multi player instanceable, or capable of being unique to each player)

ill do some research and maybe test it if it hasnt been tested already, i want a cool game but a special effect like that being MPI isnt worth the desync risk

who knows, maybe i will create a time control system :D

I dont think it would be... (obviously it could be set...but yes--desync seems very likely).

Units may fall asleep at night for one player but not for the other (cuz its daytime). Something may be visible to one player but not the other... (nighttime fog)

even if all units have an equal night-day sight range and neutrals didnt fall asleep?

dont know if the game sees it that way... but technically, if this were the case, both games would act the same...leaving no reason for a desync...heck why not try it with a buddy and find out? xD

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
