This script allows a day/night cycle. You can specify how long each day/night lasts, as well as what DMaps to use for this. Time will continue to pass, even when in dungeons- although this will not affect the dungeon in any way, unless the dungeon is where you have day/night set up.

You can set this up for an unlimited number of DMaps, however the given script is only set up for 2 pairs of DMaps. There is a comment in the code with instructions on how to add more.

UPDATE 2/1/2018: Fixed bug with day/night changing while in Screen 80 softlocking the game.

Only requires "std.zh"

• Create 2 DMaps which are on the SAME map, with different palettes.
• Create an item, of class Non-gameplay items. Take note of it's item ID. None of the stats matter, just make sure you don't use that item ID for anything else.
• Set the constants in the script.
  • dayLength = number of minutes each day/night lasts. This is the time for each the day and the night, not both the day and the night. (Ex. If I set it to 8, day will last 8 minutes before night falls, then night will last for 8 minutes before dawn).
  • I_NIGHT = This should be the item ID of the item from step 2.
  • dayDMAP1 = the DMap number of your day DMap
  • nightDMAP1 = the DMap number of your night DMap
  • dayDMAP2 = a second day DMap, if you need a day/night cycle that affects multiple maps. Leave at -1 if not using.
  • nightDMAP2 = a second night DMap, if you need a day/night cycle that affects multiple maps. Leave at -1 if not using.
• Either import the example global script, or combine it with your existing global script.

Note: Enemies may respawn, and bushes or temporary secrets may reset on the screen Link is on when day/night switch.
