How to make NPC's appear out of nowhere at a certain time of the day

There are opposite checkings after else commands in both scripts you present - should be GetDisabled == 0

scn GHOUndeadTownEnemies
 
begin GameMode
 
if GameHour >= 23 || GameHour < 6 ;midnight to morning
 
   if TownGhost1.GetDisabled != 0 ;ghost IS disabled
     TownGhost1.Enable
   endif
   if TownGhost2.GetDisabled != 0
     TownGhost2.Enable
   endif
   if TownGhost3.GetDisabled != 0
     TownGhost3.Enable
   endif
   if TownGhost4.GetDisabled != 0
     TownGhost4.Enable
   endif 

else 

   if TownGhost1.GetDisabled == 0 ;ghost IS NOT disabled
     TownGhost1.Disable
   endif
   if TownGhost2.GetDisabled == 0
     TownGhost2.Disable
   endif
   if TownGhost3.GetDisabled == 0
     TownGhost3.Disable
   endif 
   if TownGhost4.GetDisabled == 0
     TownGhost4.Disable
   endif 

endif
 
end

Similar in second script.

How about an inversion of logic such that 1 function can handle object enabling while getting rid of the main 'else'. Of course, you've provided a correct answer but how about that, how about the thinking?

 

EDIT: Okay, I've suggested the opposite of what I would do here. The time period in terms of enable is boolean and should be evaluated as such; when enable period is met it should be done once and flagged as done; when disable period is met it should be done once and flagged as done. Using OBSE this would be 2 functions where it would be cleaner to nest the time conditional function as a parameter.

 

 

None of these two scripts work.

It doesn't work, yet another member confirms this script as correct? Sorry, but with your last post my patience ran out. Farewell, Dimitrisgb.

Huh? I tested the script and it doesn't work...
