[XP] Complete Climate and Time System (CCTS)

[The Niche]

@Luke: It was a hypothetical question, I can see no real benefit to having an exclusive method. But thanks anyway.

[Mimi Chan]

I dunno why the time and weather only affects my first map o.O
I dunno where is the place I can put whether my map can be weather affected or not (outdoor and indoor)

Anyone care to point it to me o.oa

And how to change it so that the clock toggles on/off when press 'T' on the keyboard instead of the game button 'Z'?

[The Niche]

1 & 2: Bottom of the configuration, though I suspect you have an actual bug.
3: Just did
4: Change the button for z to t? If you have babs, it has a script call for checking if a keyboard button is pressed and I'm pretty sure this has a script call for enabling the clock. Put the two together in a common event and watch things explode.

[Mimi Chan]

Oh found it ^^
Thanks *.*

[Magus]

This script rocks! 

[ForeverZer0]

I still got a fix I need to make. I already did it, just haven't uploaded yet. I'm at work right now, but I'll post either tonight or tomorrow.
@magus, glad you like. 

[Mimi Chan]

Yeah I really like this system *.*
I already chained it with other scripts to use it to it's full powa.

All left is making the light script here, make the lamp post turn on when it's night.

Can't wait for the fix ^^

[ForeverZer0]

* Updates to 1.2.2 *

Okay, fixed the little bugs in the demo and script. Everything should be okay finally.

[Mimi Chan]

Yesh *.*

I tested it, dunno if its only me but the weather tint seems to only affect the current map you are on and doesn't transfer the the next map o.O
Works fine with hourly tint though.

And oh yeah, how to check for certain weather o.oa
I know its uhh $game_screen.weather == 7 will return true if weather is 7
Though I dunno the syntax for it to check for power ranges, and variations o.O

I mean how to check it if the weather is Blowing Leaves with power between 10-50 and variation number 2 o.O
I can probably do a branching conditional branch that checks for each 3 but I dunno their syntax ^^;

[ForeverZer0]

Tints will only "transfer" if going to a map with the same climate. Not sure if that is the problem or not, let me know either way.
As for the power range, neither this script or the default one has a way of reading the power. I believe if you create an attr_reader for @weather_max_target or whatever it is in Game_Screen, you can then read it. The attr might already be there, can't remember, just try it and find out.

[The Niche]

Yup, it's weather_max_target.

[Mimi Chan]

How about to check the variation? I mean how to tell if it's raining normal or raining blood o.O

I think the good/weather switch is broken o.O
If its bad weather then switch 1 will be always on right?
While for good weather switch 2 will be on.

When I tested it, when the weather turns bad, it does turn on switch 1 BUT after a minute updates, it switch it off even though it's still raining o.O

[ForeverZer0]

I'll check out the switch issue.
For the variation,

$game_screen.weather_variation

will return the actual value, and

$game_screen.weather_variation == TYPE

will return a true/false if the defined type is being used. You can place an exclamation point before the second piece of code to see if the weather variation is NOT that type.

[The Niche]

Zero, is there a script call to stop a certain weather effect?

[Mimi Chan]

I think I found the problem *.*
Good weather switch is using the same switch as the Day switch which are both 2 o.O

So switch 2 is always on regardless of bad weather O.O

I kinda don't get how the variation call works o.o
Lets pretend I am checking for blood rain
$game_screen.weather_variation 1 (for rain)
$game_screen.weather_variation == 2 (for blood)

o.oa

EDIT: Switches gets messed up every time a minute updates o.O
And events that has a switch as a condition only starts working when the minute updates.

[ForeverZer0]

@niche
Do you mean to keep the weather from updating automatically? If so, just use the script call time.weather_frozen(true), you can then change the weather to whatever you want without it being overridden. As for changing the weather patterns for a climate in-game, I haven't thought of that, but I'm sure I can include in the next update.

@mimi
The default config for switches and what not in the demo were intended to be changed to your liking, and I admittingly did not go through and ensure none repeated.

The variation alone cannot be changed with any effect. You basically just call the weather again with a different variation.

The little lines of code from my previous post were just how to read the variation and get the value, or a true/false while checking for a specific one. If you let me know what exactly you need and how you are using it, I can be little more helpful. Not sure if I answered your question or not.

...Woops, I was thinking of MAWS. Well, this is embarassing...

[Mimi Chan]

I just want an NPC that says what weather it is when you talk to him so he can differentiate from weather type and the variation.

So he can tell if its raining normally or if its raining blood.

I want a hidden npc that only pops up when its raining blood o.o

[The Niche]

Player: Hello.
Npc: Oh hello.
Player: What are you doing outside in this weather?
Npc: I'm feeding.
Player: WTF?!
Npc: *bares fangs* LUNCHTIME!!!!

(Awesome optional boss fight )

...Woops, I was thinking of MAWS. Well, this is embarassing...

No problem, MAWS is simply my Weather script with some added color schemes. I'm about to realease the Weather module re-write with my WeatherCreator script that will be better than both. 
It lets those who know absolutely nothing about scripting create advanced weather effects and variations with ease.
