[Scripting Question] Setting weather according to the day of the week?

[pauloalex4091]

Hey I´ve trying to do this for a while, I would like to change the weather system in essentials, not based in a probability but in the day of the week.
For example: if it is tuesday it will rain....Friday it will be a sunnyday and on and on....
If this is too hard to accomplish do not bother yourself.

The method pbGetTimeNow returns a Ruby time object set to the current time. The object has a property wday, which returns the current day of the week as an integer, with Sunday being 0, Monday being 1, etc. In your event or function where you set the weather, you can use something like the following:

timenow=pbGetTimeNow
if (timenow.wday==2) #If it is Tuesday
  #code or event commands to set the whether to rainy
elsif (timenow.wday == 5) #If it is Friday
  #code or event commands to set the whether to sunny
end

There is also a Essentials function pbIsWeekday which allows you to check multiple days and/or set the name of the current weekday into a variable. The first argument is a global variable number to store the name of the day in. Every argument after is which days of the week you'd like to check.

# Let's pretend its Tuesday:
pbIsWeekday(1) #Sets global variable 1 to "Tuesday" so you can use "\v[1]" in text messages to print out "Tuesday" today
pbIsWeekday(0,2) #Returns true, because today is Tuesday. Doesn't set any global variables
pbIsWeekday(1,0,5,6) #Returns false, because it is checking for Sunday, Friday, or Saturday, and stores "Tuesday" in global variable 1
pbIsWeekday(2,1,2) #Returns true, because it is checking for Monday or Tuesday, and stores "Tuesday" in global variable 2

So you can do like so:

if (pbIsWeekday(0,2,3))
  #The above condition will be true if it is Tuesday or Wednesday
  #code or event commands to set the whether to rainy
end

Ty, I guess that will work. The rest is up to me.
