Hello fellow modders! I have managed to make a day and night cycle in a mission for scenes. Here is my work. It is free for use and no need to credit me as an author.
It is designed to work in multiplayer but you can change it a little bit to a single player design.
Note: If you want to reflect the ambient for like real, you have to rotate scene props accordingly in specific times. No weather system included.
Code:
before_mission_start = (ti_before_mission_start, 0, 0, [],
[
(assign, "$last_lighting_update_time", -1),
(scene_set_day_time, 0),
])
after_mission_start = (ti_after_mission_start, 0, 0, [],
[
(try_begin),
(multiplayer_is_server),
(try_begin),
(eq, "$day_night_cycle_enabled", 1),

]It is designed to work in multiplayer but you can change it a little bit to a single player design.
Note: If you want to reflect the ambient for like real, you have to rotate scene props accordingly in specific times. No weather system included.
