How to make day and night cycle?

#1 In the editor scene tree: Library/level/level/Time of Day
This object will give you day/night cycles, very simple, just add it to your scene.

#2 But I can't find it in the scene tree, it's at right side of the editor right? I'm using TGE 1_5_2 by the way. It's for school project, I'm not sure why they don't want to use Torque 3D.

#3 You need to add it to the scene tree first.
But I would really suggest upgrading to Torque3D MIT version, since you will have a lot of problems getting help for a no longer supported software.

#4 Well, I would. But this is for school, and that's what they want us to use. Would be great if you could guide me through adding the day and night cycle.

#5 Then tell them they are backward and this cannot be done with their old backwards engine.

#6 So I guess it can't be done?

#7 @Joel - It's possible. I don't have the links, but there are some free resources that show how to add day/night cycles to TGE. I would suggest searching the resources section on this site for that information, or hopefully someone else can find the links. It will require some source changes, but I know it can be done.

@Duion - Some schools are locked in the software they can use. It's not necessarily the student or teacher's fault, just how policies are sometimes.

#8 Can't you just port over the Torque3D code for it?

#9 That process would be far more complicated than trying to implement a TGE or TGEA specific solution. The differences between the TGE and T3D MIT codebase are far too numerous to simply port one feature.

#10 Okay thanks, I'll let you guys know if I find one.
