Question Advice on adding a trigger activating Sunrise/Sunset in addition to Time of Day?

Hi folks,

I'm hoping to get some pointers on adding a script feature that acts on Sunrise/Sunset events rather than just Time of Day. I know this sounds a little odd but I had, not too far back, worked out a routine I called axial_tilt() which changed the respective daytime and night time hours incrementally throughout the MUD year. However, some of my scripts were tied to certain times of the day in order to activate them. This continued to work out well for some of the scripts, but others just seemed odd, like lights that would turn on or off hours after sunset or sunrise.

So, I'm not looking for someone to write some code for me, but just to point me in the right direction so that I can successfully achieve my intended goal. Thanks in advance.

Personally, I'd probably just copy the time_xtriggers() and make them accept a string arg. Then call this from the function where you are displaying the sunsets/rises.

Thanks thomas, I'll try that. Sorry for the delayed response.

So that's time_xtriggers() or check_time_triggers()? I can't find time_xtriggers().

Edit: Nevermind. I just realized you meant the x in time_xtriggers() as a place holder.
