Lua Global Event tags.

[conde2]

Hello, I created a global event using the onTime function, so its possible to add in the tag the day that the script will run??
I'm using this tag in a mod file:

<globalevent name="start_event" time="21:15" event="script">

I want to add a specific day to run the event, how can i do this??

add in the script:

if(string.lower(os.date("%A")) == "tuesday") then -- example for tuesday

add in the script:

if(string.lower(os.date("%A")) == "tuesday") then -- example for tuesday

Yes i know how to do it by scripting, but the language of my OS is PT-BR so i dont know if this will make difference when using this and configuring this in home host and dedicated host =s
That's why i'm not using this, i will print the function is easier to know =) thx

I know this is ancient history by now, but in case someone else ever ran into such an issue...

you could have simply tried this in the Lua intrepreter:
print(string.lower(os.date("%A")))
to see what the output would be. You could have just tested for both possible strings. However, the 'best practices' way would be to just use %w which returns 0-6 for Sunday-Saturday in any Locale
