Start a resource at a specific game hour - QUESTION

[xXNemesiSXx]

I have a freeroam/zombies server,

it would be nice if you can help me to do a script that starts the resource called "zombies" (by slothman)

at a specific game hour.. for example:

at midnight it will start the resource zombies and at the sunrise it will stop it

i'm a noob in scripting and i don't know how to do this..

[manve1]

use:

setTimer 

[xXNemesiSXx]

use:

setTimer 

Can you write an example please?

[xXNemesiSXx]

i havent made yet any script to start a resource a specific hour, i am asking if you can make an example!

(to implement in in the future or to use it now, dunno! LOL, i don't think that is a complicated script, but i'm a noob)

Erm... this is for chatbox that is used by timer.

function output() 
outputChatBox("text",player,255,0,255) 
end 
setTimer( output, 10000, 0 )  -- the "0" is for unlimited times, use that...the 10k is 10seconds.."output" is the function that u set timer for. 

it outputs the "text" every 10seconds.

P.S. This script is simple and is to show how to use timer, im not making any scripts, such as zombie gameplay.

Use my small script - Calendar Events. It triggers next events:

onMinutePass

onHourPass

onMonthdayPass

onMonthPass

onYearPass

onWeekdayPass

Example:

addEvent ( "onHourPass", true ) 
function newHourCome(newHour) 
    if newHour == 0 then 
        outputChatBox('Midnight!') 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onHourPass", getRootElement(), newHourCome)
