San Andreas Time

[hristobg]

Hi peoples!

Does the San Andreas have days, weeks, even months? Or only hours..

I'm asking about that, because I want to try something.

This "something" I want to be a object (model) who will be change into other

model at the exactly moment (hour). But this will be stupid and boring.

For example every day, at 07:00h the shop will opening (texture with opened doors, or maybe

a new model) and at 21:00h the shop will close (back to original model)

Or maybe this is stupid example. So, I just want to know more about the time in San Andreas.

If SA have days, will be good, if have months, will be great. Maybe I want to make "seasons" or

just some model change to other for more realism, etc. I want to know if this is possible,

how to do it? And this question is getting me to other question:

When I destroy some object (shoot on it with grenade), the object transform (change) to other,

destroyed object. I mean if I shoot on a house, the house will "destroy" and after the "explosion"

the house model will be just rubbish, destroyed house. Pleasee, I want to know that! But maybe

nobody will answer me, like my other posts with bad english. So, I hope to UNDERSTAND

and Sorry for my English!!! - I don't know so much words to explain what I want to say..

It only has a day/night cycle with weather at random intervals, otherwise seasons would be able to come into play, i guess that would be possible but a hell of a lot of hard work, let alone remodelling the city 3 or 4 times to include snow leaves etc

the game has realtime milliseconds, gametime minutes and hours and weekdays

it's possible to place and remove objects and it's possible to change the model of a mapobject like you know from the SF crackfactory or the cement in the hole of the construction area

You can do it by editing the main.scm or create a cleo script

For both you need knowledge in mission coding and the scm editor sannybuilder

Infos and tutorials:

SCM Coding FAQ

Coding Bible Part I and Part II

CLEO Script Tutorial

Mission Coding for Dummies

 

 

Editing main.scm allows to remove objects which was placed by main.scm like the doors of area51

Cleo scripts allows only to remove objects which was placed in same script

 

Both ways allows to change the model of a mapobject. But the new model must fit the boundaries exactly otherwise you will get holes in the collisions map

 

Most people run their game with original main.scm and installed cleo library

Or they have a TC which needs it's own main.scm

So I don't think that someone is interessting to install a modded main.scm to get your mod

According to Ryosuke's savegame editor, there seems to be a built-in month system, only unused...
