Day & Night object changing?

[Loki Eliot]

Is anyone able to point me in any direction with regards to accoplising the following efect with a script.

I have an object i want to appear during the day, then at night replaced with a different object by perhaps turning one object invisible and the other object not invisible?

Can anyone advise on best practice to achieve this and point me in a direction for possible script examples please?

standard method is to check the llSunDirection on a timer...  if the z value is less than than 0, and your "sun is up" variable is true, flip the variable. otherwise z is higher, and if your sun variable is false, flip it.... any time you flip it you can also take an action, like sending a command, rezzing a box etc.

test = llGetSunDirection();if (test.z < 0.0){
    if (isDay){        isDay = FALSE;        //-- do night stuff
    }}else if (!isDay){    isDay = TRUE;    //-- do day stuff}

 ETA:
got sloppy, fixed

Here's a script which switches a light on at dusk, off at dawn.

// Script to switch light on at dusk, off at dawninteger daytime (){    vector SunDirection;    SunDirection = llGetSunDirection();    if (SunDirection.z>0.0) {        return (FALSE);    } else {        return (TRUE);    }}switchlight (integer onoff) // function to switch light on or off{    llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_FULLBRIGHT,ALL_SIDES,onoff]);    llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_POINT_LIGHT,onoff,<1.0,1.0,1.0>,1.0,15.0,0.5]);}default                 {    on_rez (integer start_param)    {        llResetScript();    }         state_entry()    {        if (daytime()==TRUE) {             state extinguished;        } else {            state illuminated;        }    } }    state illuminated     // switch light off at dawn{    state_entry()    {        switchlight(TRUE);        llSetTimerEvent(300.0);    }    timer ()              {        if (daytime()==TRUE) {             llSetTimerEvent(0.0);            state extinguished;        }    }}state extinguished     // switch light on at dusk{    state_entry()    {        switchlight(FALSE);        llSetTimerEvent(300.0);    }    timer ()    {        if (daytime()==FALSE) {             llSetTimerEvent(0.0);            state illuminated;        }    }}

Thank you so much

I hate to necro an old thread, but I'm looking for assistance similar to what Loki needed. In my case, I want to have the face of a prim change textures depending on whether it's day or night. Thanks in advance.

Just take Void's post (above).  Where it says "day stuff" or "night stuff", put your call to llSetTexture or llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(Link_number, [PRIM_TEXTURE  ......

[Miles Macpherson]

Thank you very much! Here is the LSL script I made. It's not exactly the one Void posted, but it seems to work.

 

default {    state_entry() {        llSetTimerEvent(600);    }    timer() {        vector sun = llGetSunDirection();            if(sun.z > 0) {            llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TEXTURE, ALL_SIDES, "paste UUID here"]);            }            else {            llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TEXTURE, ALL_SIDES, "paste UUID here"]);            }    }}

Bingo!

Hello,

 

I found this thread while loking for a script.  I am looking to turn off the light fluction of my lights and light textures at night.  This script does not seem to work in my objects.  Can you help?

If you are a scripter and are trying to find your way around a sticky spot in a script you are writing, you have come to the right place.  That's what this forum is for.  However, if you are looking for a free script (or even one to buy), there are several script libraries here, in the LSL wiki, and in world.  You can also shop in Marketplace or do a Google search for script repositories elsewhere.  If you are hoping to have someone write a script for you, you should post in the InWorld Employment forum.
