Ok, i have manage to work out how to change skies during gameplay.

Heres how i did it, first, its not done by using trigger zones, its using the loadingpage script in the languagebank folder, so once you build your game, go to languagebankenglishgamebankmygame and open the setuplevel script and copy this code.



The first 4 state=0 change the 0 to 1 and the state=0:state=1 change to state=1:state=2 so now you should have something like this.



Now say if you first level is day time and you want you second level to be at night, look for the loadingpage2.fpi file, open it and paste the code at the bottom so you will end up with something like this.



Now your need to copy the skyfolder from the skybank in you FPSC file floder into you games folder.

Now if you want to keep the sky from level 2 on to the next 3 levels then simply copy and paste the code onto loadingpages 3,4,5.

If you want a different sky for level 6, copy and paste the code onto loadingpage 6 but change the
to what sky you want. if you want the first sky back on level 7 then just leave loadingpage 7.

Before i forget make sure you save the loadingpage files after pasting the code, any problems just let me know.

go here
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=108276&b=25 if you want to try my test game and see the sky change in action.

I hope this help everyone.

Davy B,
as you know I have tried and tested your method and it really does work.
I am very grateful to you for releasing this information for others to share and surprised and kind of annoyed at the lack of response to you doing so.I expressed the same opinion when Locrian and s4 would release some of their innovations,one of the reasons they dont do so anymore,s4 being one of the few to say thanks in the showcase thread.
This is probably one of the most important discoveries I have seen released onto these forums,but dont be surprised when someone else comes along and say's they discovered it,this should be something for nickydudes guide with the appropriate acknowledgement to you.
I for one am very grateful.
Thanks again rolfy.

Davy B - Way to think outside the box . . or is that skybox. Before this gets lost in the abyss of forum posts I will make note of it for later use.

Thank you,
Terry

Brilliant, THANKYOU!

The only reason I hadn't viewed it was I thought it was a question *shoots self*

Should let other people know about this, instead i should have put for the title Changeable sky script, if only a mod could do this.

It's included in the next guide update, so you'll get quite a few people using it


Search for "HellHouse" in Showcase.

Makes me feel stupid I didn't think of this earlier, great find.

Practice makes perfect. But if nobody is perfect, why practice?
