Overview

Tallow schedules callbacks against the game clock, so a script that cares about the time of day can sleep until the time it cares about instead of checking every frame.

local I = require 'openmw.interfaces'

I.Tallow.every('dusk', function()
  print('The lamps are lit.')
end)

every(moment, callback) accepts 'dusk', 'dawn' or an hour from 0 to 23. Callbacks run once per occurrence, in the order they were registered.
