Is it possible to have the lightbulb thingies from the light tab have a script to change the brightness from say 0 to 50? If so can it be changed to happen depending the time of day? How would that script go?

No, but you could move or enable/disable/replace the light source.
For examples you could study mods like illuminated windows, windows glow expansion...

enable/disable you say? And that window mod you mentioned should have the code for day/night on and off cycle?

some examples, optimized for speed

begin ab01SetNightTimeScript

; global autostart script, it allows local scripts to make fewer checks on a global short NightTime variabkle instead of checking multiple times the global float GameHour variable

if ( NightTime ) ; NightTime is a global short variable
	if ( GameHour > 20 ) ; GameHour is a global float variable set by the engine e.g. 13.25 = 13:15
		return
	endif
	if ( GameHour < 7 )
		return
	endif
	set NightTime to 0
	return
endif

if ( GameHour > 20 )
	set NightTime to 1
	return
endif

if ( GameHour < 7 )
	set NightTime to 1
endif

local scripts meant to be attached to each object to enable/disable depending on NightTime

begin max_win_dis_01

DontSaveObject ; skip saving object to avoid cluttering save as object state is checked real-time each frame

if ( NightTime )
	if ( GetDisabled )
		return
	endif
	disable ; disable interior illuminated window at night
	return
endif

if ( GetDisabled )
	enable ; enable at day
endif

end

begin max_win_dis_02

DontSaveObject

if ( NightTime )
	if ( GetDisabled )
		enable ; enable exterior illuminated window at night
	endif
	return
endif

if ( GetDisabled )
	return
endif

disable  ; disable at day

end

Ok so the top script checks if its night time or not And the bottom one says what happens when the top turn out to be false/true? Ok Im going to be free thursday and apply this to my light fixture.

Thanks a lot
