Changing map at a certain time/date

[SeeDee]

Is it possible to make a script which changes a specific map on a particular day?

So this kind of roster would work automatically?
[b]
Sunday to Wednesday - <some random map here>

Thursday - <some random map here>

Friday - <some random map here>

Saturday - <some random map here>[/b]

So it changes at exactly 12 am of that day?

Thanks

Yep.

[lua]local function Map(map) game.ConsoleCommand("changelevel "..map) end

sunwed = "gm_construct"
thurs = "gm_flatgrass"
fri = "freespace06"
sat = "gm_wireconstruct_rc"
hook.Add("Think","CheckDate",function()
if os.date("%H") == "12" then
local weekday = os.date("%A")
if weekday == "Sunday" or weekday == "Monday" or weekday == "Tuesday" or weekday == "Wednesday" then
Map(sunwed)
elseif weekday == "Thursday" then Map(thurs)
elseif weekday == "Friday" then Map(fri)
elseif weekday == "Saturday" then Map(sat)
end
end
end)[/lua]

It's something like this (I think). You would have to check me on my os.date stuff.

You'd have to have a Bot or at least one Player on the server all the time, since Think hooks and timers don't get called when there is noone on the server ;)

[QUOTE=Carnag3;16793523]what about [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Schedule.Add[/url] ?[/QUOTE]

this. stop running think hooks.

schedule.Add("mapChange", mapMonday, 00, 00, 00, "Monday", nil, nil, nil)

function mapMonday() 
--change map here
end

[SeeDee]

Could someone write out a code to suit this?

Sunday to Wednesday - gm_flatgrass

Thursday - gm_contruct

Friday - rp_coast_03_fix

Saturday - Atomic.

Thanks all for your help.

And so on, and so on.

Do I put this file in autorun?

Or in the gamemodes folder and include it?

neither, because that code doesn't work. It's what we call an '[i]example[/i]', that shows you how you could do something yourself, but would break if you tried to use it without first modifying it.
But when you have filled in the missing days and missing mapnames, yes, you put it in autorun/server/

And thanks
