Time based Lua script

[cjnicholl]

I'm guessing it's machine based but how many scripts is it possible to have running at any one time?

Actually you should add and (time.hour > 12) to the elseif statement for evening, otherwise it switches to evening again after midnight:

Code: Select all

time = os.date("*t")

commandArray = {}

if (timeofday['Daytime']) and (time.hour < 12) then

        commandArray['Variable:Time-Variable']='Morning'
        print("Time set to Morning")

elseif (timeofday['Daytime']) and (time.hour >= 12) then

        commandArray['Variable:Time-Variable']='Afternoon'
        print("Time set to Afternoon")

elseif (timeofday['Nighttime']) and (time.hour < 23) and (time.hour > 12) then

        commandArray['Variable:Time-Variable']='Evening'
        print("Time set to Evening")

elseif (timeofday['Nighttime']) then

        commandArray['Variable:Time-Variable']='Night'
        print("Time set to Night")
end

return commandArray

When the variable is allready set to the current time of the day, it does not have to do it, and print a log again every minute.
Maybe add this to each IF?

Code: Select all

if (timeofday['Daytime']) and (time.hour < 12) then

to

Code: Select all

if (timeofday['Daytime']) and (time.hour < 12) and uservariables["Time-Variable"] ~= "Morning" then
