How to get the amount of visible light

[MrCafeae]

I am attempting to write a script that does different things based on the amount of visible light. If it's daylight it does one thing, if it's night another, if player is inside and light is bright it does a third thing and if the light is dim but not dark it does a fourth.

 

 

So, is it possible to get the amount of visible (ambient?) light in a scene?

 

 

I'd appreciate any pointers (or links) in the correct direction on this.

 

Thanks in advance.

For outside, just use GetCurrentTime and IsInInterior.

 

Testing for light is tricky, but you might be able to get a good idea with something like creating a fake, invisible NPC nearby and then using GetDetectionLevel (which varies depending on the light level).

Invisible NPC, hadn't thought of that one. I'll give it a shot.

 

Thanks!
