Examples

<lsl>// Real World Sun integer set;

default {

   state_entry()
   {
       llSetTimerEvent(0.1);
       set = -1;
   }
   
   timer()
   {
       float time = llGetWallclock();
       if(set == -1)
           llSetTimerEvent(60.0);
       if(time < 21600)
       {
           if(set)
           {
               llSetText("The Sun is coming! :)", <1,1,0>, 1.0);
               set = 0;
           }
       }
       else if(time < 64800)
       {
           if(set != 1)
           {
               llSetText("Sun has risen. :(", <1,0,0>, 1.0);
               set = 1;
           }
       }
       else if(set != 2)
       {
           llSetText("Goodbye Sun. :(", <1,0,0>, 1.0);
           set = 2;
       }
   }

}</lsl>
