Time of Day usage
by Jeff Yaskus · in Torque 3D Professional · 02/02/2011 (3:09 pm) · 1 replies
The online doc makes no mention of how to use this properly ... or how to query it within the game.
I'm using it to create the night & day cycles.
However, I'm making an outdoor survival game -- and need to "check" every hour to see if player ate or drank.
If they haven't their HUNGER or THIRST attribute will increase. Eventually it will kill them :)
So my questions;
a) how to query time of day from torque Script ?
b) how to add new attributes to player character ? (Hunger, Thirst)
c) How do I script it, so it happens once per hour (or 6 hours,etc.) ? using the schedule command?
