ok i'm using this script, and i want for when its spring and summer for an even to activate. see i'm using crops in my game and i want so that you can only get them during a certain season. i am planing to use this by way of an event.

lets say i have like a conditional branch that if its spring or summer the even is active. something like that. or if anyone would have any other idea it would be good, i'm a major novice but i want this, any help would be good.

Ah, I've done this before, with my HM game. Used Kylock's Time System myself, wierd that this one has 2 autumns and summers...

I think this may do it, but someone may come up with an easier way:

def initialize
  def Crops
    if @name_season = ["Spring"]
      $game_switches[1] = true  #change [1] to whichever switch number you want spring to be
    else $game_switches[1] = false  #same number as previous
    end
    if @name_season = ["Summer"]
      $game_switches[2] = true  #change [2] to whichever switch number you want summer to be
    else $game_switches[2] = false  #same number as previous
    end
    if @name_season = ["Autumn"]
      $game_switches[3] = true  #change [3] to whichever switch number you want autumn to be
    else $game_switches[3] = false  #same number as previous
    end
    if @name_season = ["Winter"]
      $game_switches[4] = true  #change [4] to whichever switch number you want spring to be
    else $game_switches[4] = false  #same number as previous
    end
  end
end

Put this in a new Script below the ATS and above Main.

hey it worked it called the switch thx, but i now have another problem. Ok thing is i was going for something where i could pick the crops and then next spring they reappear and i could do it all over again. what i did was i have the even appear in spring with the script you gave 4StarGeneral,  but then when i turn the switch i used to call the event off, it dosn't reappear next spring.
I don't know what i'm doing wrong.

Ah, I see well I'm not the greatest scripter in the world (yet!), so I'm not sure if the event processing might need an update or not, but I will work on it right away...
