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

    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
