Summary

i've already made a post like this, but with Terrax, in that thread someone told me to switch to community lighting instead of Terrax. i'm trying to make an event where a character blacks out for 12 hours and when he awakens it's night time, so i need it to be dark. to do this i first tried to have different light sources activate at different times ''one that's bright in the morning and one dark and dim at night''

i'm trying to make an event where a character blacks out for 12 hours and when he awakens it's night time, so i need it to be dark.
to do this i first tried to have different light sources activate at different times
''one that's bright in the morning and one dark and dim at night''

something like: day: light 1 is active | night: light 2 is active and light 1 deactivates.

but it doesn't work, so i tried the day/night cycle part of the plugin, i used the correct variables, i had the variable change from day to night, but again nothing worked.
i really need help with this, because nothing works.
here's a link to the instructions in case someone can understand them better than me: https://github.com/ImaginaryVillain/community_lights

i really hope that this is understandable even though it's formatted terribly.
1 what happens first is that the night time light is turned off so that it doesn't interfere with the morning light.

2 the second thing that happens is the morning light is turned off and night light is turned on.
this was my first attempt, it didn't work.

3 this is what my second attempt looked like. i changed my hour variable to 3, which should make the lighting of the map dark. but as i said, nothing worked.

4 here's some of the plugin paramaters incase you can figure something out.
