I had a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to make this work properly.
I want to thank everyone who helped me and also those who are always trying to help here in this forum.
I found a simple way of changing a screen/image according to real time, and I'd like to share with you.
In my case, there's a window in a bedroom on my label scene. I wanted to change this window with sun, moon, etc (images/screens) according to morning, afternoon, evening and night (current real time).
So I started by creating an image of a window with sun outside and animated light rays.
I think there's another way to create an animated image, but I did it like this:
Code: Select all
image morningsun:
"sky/sun1.png" #### the file location and name
0.3 #### the speed the image is going to jump to the next one
pos (355,200) #### the position you want it in your screen
"sky/sun2.png"
0.3
pos (355,200)
"sky/sun3.png"
0.3
pos (355,200)
repeat #### makes the image keep on repeating
Then you just write the label where you want it to be and this code:
Code: Select all
label bedroom:
scene bedroom1
$hour = datetime.datetime.now().hour ######### this will verify what time it currently is
if hour in [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]: ######### type here the hour you want the image to be displayed
hide image "nightsky" ######### I'm not sure if that's necessary, but I chose to "hide" the previous image (before the morning it would be night image)
show image "morningsky"
$startTime= 6 ######### this code makes the image START at this time (not sure if this part is necessary)
$endTime= 11 ######### this code makes the image END at this time (not sure if this part is necessary)
if hour in [12, 13, 14, 15, 16]:
hide image "morningsky"
show image "afternoonsky"
$startTime= 12
$endTime= 16
if hour in [17, 18, 19]:
hide image "afternoonsky"
show image "eveningsky"
$startTime= 17
$endTime= 19
if hour in [20, 21, 22, 23, 00, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]:
hide image "eveningsky"
show image "nightsky"
$startTime= 20
$endTime= 5
It could also be "show screen" if you wanted a screen to show up at the time, etc.
Well, that's it. That was the easiest way I found to do it.
It worked well on pc and also on android.
I hope this can help someone.
Have a nice year guys!
