Change day_time while running #3

Closed HappyCringeDev closed 1 year ago

HappyCringeDev commented 1 year ago

Is there any way to change while the day_time while debugging / running the project. Because if you change the value "Day Time" in Main it will be overwrited after one frame.

By the way. I really like your shader. All the features and the beautiful athmosphere.

Hi. You need to describe more precisely what you mean by this overwriting. I start the project and I can freely change the time of day in the editor and it doesn't get overwritten.

Nice to hear it, thanks :)

Hey krzmig,

Thank you for the prompt reply. The situation is as follows:

I added your main scene into mine. In the external variables of your scene at the inspector, I changed the value "day_time" from 0.0 to 9.0. However, when I start the scene, the variable "day_time" switches back to 0.0. If I output the variable every frame, it shows that only for one frame the "day_time" is set to 9.0 before it gets reset to 0.0.

What I want to do is to set the sky time using the "day_time" value, and have the sky adapt to it and continue counting from there. That means, if I set "day_time" to 12.0 and start the scene, the sky should start at 12.0 and count up.

Thanks very much for your help in advance.

Best regards, Movv HCG

I had the same thing, I still don't know how to fix it.

If you use the following function seek in the body script of the AnimationPlayer you can switch the time to something like 9 am. self.seek(9.0, true) (Not compatible with Day_of_year. Because it resets to the first day. And therefor not compatible with the clouds.)

I added AnimationPlayer for demo purposes only. I think using it for something like time progression in the game is a bad idea. I removed it in the last commit. I added "Time scale" parameter in its place: obraz If you set the value to 1, the hour in the game will take a second. If 0.1, it's 10 seconds. If 0, the lapse will be disabled. If "day time" exceeds 24, "day of year" will increase by 1 and "day time" will reset.
