Day & Night Cycle - Preview
INFORMATION
-
Lighting tweens locally
-
TweenService used for maximum smoothness & diverse styles
-
Configurable : EasingStyle, EasingDirection, time_Interval, time_Increment
-
Global Time - everyone shares the same time regardless of when they join
-
TweenInfo changable in run time
Limitations ( Network & Device )
-
TweenService tweens from any higher number than 0 to 0, reversing time, thus time will be set to 0 if the Tween fails to reach 24.
-
Replication from Server to Client is not real time. To combat this, prior tweens created will pause and be dismissed, playing the newer one.
Documentation
Module_Time:start_Time()
Documentation : start_Time
Information
- Starts
Day Night Cycle.
Example
local Module_Time = require(script:WaitForChild("Module_Time")) -- Location of "Module_Time"
Module_Time:start_Time()
Module_Time.time_Wait ( REPLICATES )
Documentation : time_Wait
Information
-
Determines the time the loop pauses before running again.
-
Expects a number.
Example
Module_Time.time_Wait = .25 --Now the loop waits .25 seconds before updating time.
Module_Time.time_Increment ( REPLICATES )
Documentation : time_Increment
Information
- Determines the hours advanced per ran loop.
- Expects a number.
Example
Module_Time.time_Increment = 1 --Now the time increments by 1 hour every time the loop runs
Module_Time.tween_EasingStyle ( REPLICATES )
Documentation : tween_EasingStyle
Information
-
Determines the time the EasingStyle used in the tween.
-
Expects a string (name of the easing style)
Example
Module_Time.tween_EasingStyle = "Linear" --Replicates, Clients will now use style.
Module_Time.tween_EasingDirection ( REPLICATES )
Documentation : tween_EasingDirection
Information
-
Determines the time the EasingDirection used in the tween.
-
Expects a string (name of the easing direction)
Example
Module_Time.tween_EasingDirection = "In" --Replicates, Clients will now use direction.
