Development Forum Flowers Opening and Closing?    Tea Queen Laura        8/16/2013 How would one code a plant so that its blooms open and close periodically, to mimic how real flowers behave? Ghosthande, I'm in chat if you want a better idea of what I'm on about! I now have more sprites than the ones I've previously shown you (thanks, DarbyDoo! ).   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     8/16/2013  1 You would want a timer script with a condition that checks what TIME is... TIME being a (pre-set) variable that keeps track of what time of day it is in your world. Its values are: 0 - dawn 1 - morning 2 - afternoon 3 - evening 4 - night This is how I made the sunflower from the Dustdevil Grendel pack "follow the sun". The only thing to keep in mind is that you do need a second condition inside the first, to make sure the flower hasn't already animated for that time of day (or it will just open/close in a perpetual loop). You can do this by checking its POSE or setting a variable.   Tea Queen Laura     8/16/2013  1 Thank you, Ghosthande! I think attempting this script is going to really test my current level of CAOS knowledge, but be absolutely awesome at the same time. Especially when it's implemented; I always want my agents to be as enjoyable as they possibly can be.   Tea Queen Laura     8/19/2013 Another question: *added 7 steps to the growth process so make number 37, instead of 30, so roses have more time before rotting: elif ov00 gt 30 *if it's older then 20 ticks, let it rot. Fully rotten frame is 10: doif pose eq 10 kill targ endi Is there anyway to speed the rotting process up a little? I can provide more code if necessary.   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     8/19/2013 Yes; just change "elif ov00 gt 30" to a higher number.
