If the weather is set to default, does it change over time, or is it just one type of weather effect?

Re: Another question

I'm pretty sure it will change. Like if you're on a map then go into a town it should be later. Same with dungeons. I hope that helps.

Re: Another question

I've never seen it change, but then again I haven't really played much.

Thanx Lausen, but I meant the weather

Re: Another question

I've never seen the weather change on its own either. I've been playtesting my game. After playing for about 4 hours or so, the weather has remained exactly the same.

It could be that after a certain cycle of days, however, the seasons (and perhaps the weather) change, but I've never tried to find this out.

Anyone else have an idea about this?

Re: Another question

It might change if you enter a house or dungeon, or sleep at an inn. I really have no idea.

Re: Another question

The time of day is the only thing that changes on its own...the weather and seasons do not...you have to change them with event codes. If you set the weather to 'default', however, you can take the weather from one map or town to another one. If the weather/season settings are anything BUT default, then whatever they are set as will be the permanent weather/season for that area.

Property Control>Modify Field/Town Properties - changes the default weather for a town or map
Control>Modify Weather/Time/Season - changes what the weather/time/season on that map are just for right then. When you go to a map with different weather and return, you'll take those settings with you.

Re: Another question

Simplifying what Obiright said, setting the weather to default in a town and the town has the weather you put on Story Settings. It won't change however.

CHANGING SEASONS OVER TIME - by JPS Innovations

want to change seasons over time so itll be more realistic?

(lets say I want the seasons to last 20 turns and i start my game in spring)

1.Create an invisible event at the entrance so everytime you enter a dungeon or a town or something youll activate the event and increase variable A +1

set a 4 option val-condition

if Variable A=20 set season to Summer
if Variable A=40 set season to Autumn
if Variable A=60 set season to Winter
if Variable A=80 set season to Spring: Set Variable A=0

the increments can be different depending on how often you visit the place, the event should be placed in a location visited often, this trick gives the game the effect of time passing, you can set your fields, towns, or whatever you want to the seasons

Now THIS makes the seasons change over time. I guess you could do something similar with the weather.

Re: Another question

ezz posts a lot of my tips

Yeah if you leave everything at Default it will be whatever the Field is that the town is located in, if you change the field I'm almost 90% sure that it will reflect on all the towns and stuff within that field

Thank you, JPS. (I would give you some reputation but it doesn't let me)
