Specific time to open portal

[Methz 2]

Hello, can you help me?

 

I want to open two maps, one in even hours, the other in odd hours.

For example, Chaos Argent at 2, 4, 6 hours, and Arena at 1, 3, 5 hours.My goal is not to let these maps open at the same time.

If I put one to open every 2 hours, and another in 3, at some point they will open up together, and I don't want this. Any idea?

 

Thanks in advance.

"x" map opens: 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21,23

"y" map opens: 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22

 

Hours of collision: 0,6,12,18

 

Your question is unclear.

1) You can make "x" map open every 2 hours and on odd hours.

2) You can make "y" map open every 3 hours but 1 hour ahead/before "x" opening interval {1,4,5,...}

3) The logic to avoid collision hours according to per thread's question:

"x" map opens: 0,3,6,9,12,15,18,21,23
"y" map opens: 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22

does not make sense.

One way to make that would be them opening every two hours:

SetMapEntryTime(map, "2006/10/18/14/0", "0/2/0", "0/0/30", "0/0/45")

SetMapEntryTime(map, "2006/10/18/15/0", "0/2/0", "0/0/30", "0/0/45")

That way they wouldn't overlap, but it's not what you wanted of one map being every two hours and another every three hours without overlapping.

Sorry if I was not clear. What I want is for one map to open in even hours and another on odd hours, so not overlapping with one another.

 

For example:

"x" map opens: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23
"y" map opens: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22

 

Borth using the same times. For example:

SetMapEntryTime(map, "2006/10/18/15/0", "0/2/0", "0/0/30", "0/0/45")

 

 

Some years ago I did this using GetNowTime running in can_open_entry_map function of the corresponding map, but I'm not sure about it. But I did some way, I just can't remember how

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Well, in that case I already gave you the answer then.

I tried it but doesn't worked.

Solved!

 

I did it this way:

In the ctrl.lua (/server file/mapName/) file of the desired map (in this case in Arena), I added the following code in the function can_open_entry_PKmap (map)

 

function can_open_entry_PKmap( map ) 
	-- Specific portal time to open
	local hour = os.date ("%H")
    local hournum = tonumber(hour)
	if hournum == 01 or hournum == 03 or hournum == 05 or hournum == 07 or hournum == 09 or hournum == 11 or hournum == 13 or hournum == 15 or hournum == 17 or hournum == 19 or hournum == 21 or hournum == 23 then
		return 1
	else
		return 0
	end
end 

 

01 means 1am

03    " "    3am

05    " "    5am

 

And so on...
