Tracks – Conditions

Some info on conditions (incomplete)

Default inputs:

• TIME: time of day in seconds from 00:00 to 23:59.

• SUN: sun angle in degress (0 for sun in zenith, 90 for sun at the horizon).

• YEAR_PROGRESS: year progress from 0 to 1.

• YEAR_DAY: day of the year from 1 to 365 (29 of Febuary is skipped, so you can bind certain dates after it without having to worry about it).

  If you need to bind a certain day, use lut:

  [CONDITION_...]
  INPUT = YEAR_DAY     ; 184th day is 4th of July
  LUT = (| 1=0 | 184=0 | 185=1 | 186=0 | 356=0 |)

  [CONDITION_...]
  INPUT = YEAR_DAY     ; hard winter cuts by day
  LUT = (|1=1|40=1|41=0|332=0|333=1|365=1|)

  [CONDITION_...]
  INPUT = YEAR_PROGRESS    ; kinda winter fading
  LUT = (| 0=0.5 | 0.1=1 | 0.2=0 | 0.8=0 | 0.9=0.35 | 1=0.5 |)

  TODO: Add a better alternative to map certain values.
