Variables

Switches

In-plugin mapping

This section of the plugin represents the variables and switches in SGB, if you want to have control over this plugin from SGB you must assign the switches and variables accordingly. Example: (Indoors SGB = 991) represents the switch #991 in your SGB Database, each time you activate switch #991 in SGB the plugin will change the lighting to "Indoors" and stop the ambient sound.

Custom settings

Main settings

• Enable Plugin: Uncheck to disable the plugin completely.
• Unity Handles Time: Enable automated time system, if you disable this option you must make your own time system in SGB.

• Day Length: Duration in real time minutes of a day in your game.

Using a smart light

The smart light is any light to which the script "Smart Light" is attached, which is located in the folder "Assets\Resources\JagonzPlugins\PluginsFiles\RTLS\Scripts"

You also have a "Smart Light" Prefab in the RTLS folder under "PluginFiles", you can make the light turn on and off according to the phase of the day, if you want to use your own switch in SGB to turn a light on or off you can use the "Use Custom Switch" option and assign an SGB switch.
