Snippet DayNightRequirements

[Jesus4Lyf]

The following is trash:

    private constant real DAWN_TIME = 6.
//  The time in your map at which day starts. This is the default.
    private constant real NIGHT_TIME = 18.
//  The time in your map at which night starts. This is the default.
    private constant player HOLDER = Player(15)
//  Substitute a player that will not need to have day/night specific abilities.

FIXXIT.
Good work.

 

[Azlier]

The holder is still in effect, but the dawn/dusk times are no longer needed.

>The holder is still in effect
Ain't gettin approved 'til it works.

Recreate units or morph 'em or somethin'. Up to you, but it should work for all players (because it can)... :thup:
I vote morph, but have never used it myself really.

 

[Azlier]

Fine. Morphing it is. /grumble

EDIT: I simply CANNOT get morphing to work.

The units just keep chaosing into eachother, despite the fact that I disable the alternate morph ability before issuing the order and enabling it after a 0 second timer. I even tried a 1 second timer.

This little script lets you easily create abilities that only work at day or at night.

Just follow the unusually complicated import instructions, and you're good to go. Simply adding a dummy to an ability's techtree requirements will make it day or night specific.

Requires DNE.

The demo map will turn the clock to night when "-night" is typed, and I wonder what "-day" could possibly do...

Does "-day" set the clock to day when typed?

 

[Azlier]

That's certainly a possiblity.
