Detect day or night

[onyx wraith]

How can I detect when it is day or night? with script (without experimental)

[twin jewel]

import { world } from "@minecraft/server";

const getTimesOfDay = () => {
  var ticks = world.getTimeOfDay();
  if (ticks >= 12000 && ticks <= 24000) {
    return "Night";
  }
  return "Day";
}

If I'm not mistaken, this should work.

and if I want to do a command, let's say if it's night I want a zombie to spawn and if not a cow

[twin jewel]

Use it function

import { world } from "@minecraft/server";

function spawn(player) {
  var ticks = world.getTimeOfDay();
  if (ticks >= 12000 && ticks <= 24000) {
    return  player.dimension.spawnEntity("minecraft:zombie", player.location);
  }
  return  player.dimension.spawnEntity("minecraft:cow", player.location);
}

I meant if I wanted to do a player.runcommandasync('/say it's day') or player.runcommandasync('/say it's night'

[twin jewel]

Wait, what exactly do you want? Spawning a mob or sending messages to chat "Day"/"Night"?

[onyx wraith]

I want to be able to execute a command, any command

[twin jewel]

ok

Use it function

import { world } from "@minecraft/server";

function RunCmdDayOrNight(player) {
  var ticks = world.getTimeOfDay();
  if (ticks >= 12000 && ticks <= 24000) {
    // Night
    return player.runCommandAsync("Command");
  }
  // Day
  return player.runCommandAsync("Command");
}

How do you use the function?

[onyx wraith]

I already saw how it works, but it still wouldn't work

[twin jewel]

How do you call the function? Post a screenshot.

or

hm

[onyx wraith]

I did that as a test, it works, but I don't want a function to be called, you understand? The idea is that it works in the same event.

[twin jewel]

hm

this is easy

sorry

i dont speak English

[onyx wraith]

spanish?

[twin jewel]

Russian

[onyx wraith]

ohh i see, so?

[twin jewel]

okey

just paste the function code in the place where you need to use it.

[twin jewel]

I try not to use a translator. So I forget myself a little and I think it’s a mistake.

hehe

[onyx wraith]

dw haha, i speak spanish, so sometimes i try the same

[twin jewel]

cool

[onyx wraith]

It doesn't work anyway lol, I mean it works as you say, but it doesn't work for me like that, it would be that it is always active and for that I would have to keep the other event active and I can't xd, I just want it after the player has completed the tutorial every At night mobs appear in certain locations and when it is day I kill them, for that I need repeated detection

idk if you understand me

[twin jewel]

So, does it work or not?

[onyx wraith]

yes, work

[onyx wraith]

but I need it to be something like

[twin jewel]

You can use the function of getting random numbers in a range, spawn mobs in the interval and check if it’s day then kill all the mobs.

Always look at the documentation

Function get Random Number in range

const randInt = (min, max) => {
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
}

[onyx wraith]

i do

thanks you!

[twin jewel]

wait

[onyx wraith]

detection of the day

is unnecessary

[twin jewel]

delete ticks >= 24000

How does it even work with this condition?

if work - ok

[onyx wraith]

in the day dont workd xd

[twin jewel]

.

or

replace this with ticks >=0

yeah

[onyx wraith]

system.runInterval(() => {
  var ticks = world.getTimeOfDay();
  if (ticks >= 12000 && ticks <= 24000 && detection_day == 1) {
    world.getDimension("overworld").runCommand("/say noche")
    return 
  }
  else if (ticks <= 12000 && detection_day == 1) {
    world.getDimension("overworld").runCommand("/say noche")
    return 
  }
})```

how?

[twin jewel]

you can do it like that

[twin jewel]

this condition interfered with the work, so I did not use else

didn't want to complicate things

[onyx wraith]

yep workd

thanks!!
