Some of you may remember me asking for help on creating aweather system and data created the one below how would i add another factor to this?? i would like to add a Day and Night system to intergrat with it. Im new to the Luminosity varable, so how would i make it work with that????

P.S. The Weather System doesnt work anyway.........

area
    outside //outside areas: these are affected by weather
        layer = FLY_LAYER + 1
        var
            zone = 1 //the weather is different per zone. zones could be different planets, countries, cities, ...
            weather = "clear" //this can be used to determine exactly what the weather is in this area.\
            different weather = different problems? (rain would affect armor, snow would affect movement, ...)

world/New()
    .=..()
    for(var/area/outside/A) if(!(A.zone in zones)) zones += A.zone
    //this step has to be repeated everytime a new zone is created

var/list/zones = new/list()
proc
    WeatherLoop()
        while(1)
            for(var/zone in zones)
                var/image/I = image(icon = 'icons/Weather.dmi', icon_state = pick("clear", "rain", "snow"))
                for(var/area/outside/A)
                    if(A.zone == zone)
                        A.icon = I
                        A.weather = I.icon_state
            sleep(1200) //change the weather every 2 minutes

All you need to do to make the area around the player light or dark is change the luminosity value of the /area. So if you want your day night cycle to swap every 1200 ticks, then you could just throw something like this in there:

for(var/area/outside/A)
  if(A.luminosity)
    A.luminosity = 0 // Make it dark outside.
  else
    A.luminosity = 6 // Make it light outside.
