Hi,

 

You can use Main Scene FTBE, developed by @Sankotronic

Mmm that sound great, but... it seems to work for HC2 not HC 3 ? How can I update this scripts for HC 3 ?

Hi,

 

Yes, it is for HC2.

 

It was developed by Zoran. We'll have to wait for him to update it.

But he's out on business now and he's unlikely to be able to do that for a few months.

I realise, I just need :

• a global variable defined in General > Variable (Enumerated variable with "day" and "night")
• a blocky scene (triggered on "Time > sunset ") that change the previous variable to "night"
• a blocky scene (triggered on "Time > sunrise") that change the previous variable to "day"

And I got my variable with the current state ... soooooo simple ?

I had the same need just a few days ago. I did exactly the same as you: new global variable plus 2 block scenes. Simple and works great!

Also, if you want to create a Lua scene that does some time scheduling - like setting time of day variables etc you can build on this example:
