How to make a building toggle day/night state.
« on: July 25, 2013, 05:26:21 pm »
I mean, i make a building, one texture  for day,
other glow map for night windows. And some simple script
that will switch it automatically.

Sorry if i don't make sense, i'm not native on this planet.

It's not yet possible. There was also a discussion how exactly to implement it:

I've read the tread. Very interesting, i want to add my opinion to that.
Imagine you make a 3d building, and make a mesh for windows, then
make a node like <node id="Windows">
and system recognizes every polygon in that mesh as a window and upon initialization
of that building places a texture according to window shape and size, from a base.
And the same system changes those textures, according to different conditions.
