See when it gets a certain time i want player 7 to unvision p1 and i always want it to happen, Then once it is day i want p7 to vision p1. I need to find out how to addf that into the system...

You want to use a death count as the timer? It's probably a better idea to use something the players can see, like the countdown timer.

To make it feel like day/night:
1. Make the heros blind
2. During the day have an observer owned by an unused player follow the hero around w/ hyper triggers (make sure the player w/ ob has vision to the hero)
3. Use switches to detect if it is night or day
4. When it is night, remover vision or the observer

Bam unit can't see at night!

You can use a death count to time it. With hyper triggers, on fastest speed, you get 12 trigger cycles per second. If you want day and night to last 24 minutes, that'll be 17280 or so.

12 minutes = 720 seconds
12 trigger cycles a second = 8640 per 12 minutes.

Have one trigger that does this:

Always.

Add one death for player 1, "Young Chrysalis"
Preserve Trigger.

Then have another that says
Player one has suffered at elast 8640 deaths of Young Chrysalis

Set Switch "Night"
Set deaths, player 1, young chrysalis to 0
preserve trigger

And then another that says:

Switch "Night" is set
Player 1 has suffered at least 8640 deaths of "Young Chrysalis"

Clear switch Night
Set Switch Day
Set deaths, player 1, Young chrysalis, to 0
Preserve trigger

For daytime, use a mobile grid + scourge artificial vision

For nighttime, just have the player's vision.

I played a map where the terrain was set as installation and the setting was supposed to be a crashed ship.

The creator made the effects that the light was "flickering" by toggling between three modes of vision:

~ Full Map vision (map revealers)
~ Normal Vision
~ No vision

And triggers would randomly fire them off and you had to fight your way to the middle in the madness.

Switches can be named whatever you want them to be named. Just use one that is unused and have actions when it is set/cleared.
