EnvControl is a Rust plugin that provides per-player control over in-game time. Players and administrators can lock, set, or reset each player’s time environment — giving everyone the freedom to experience the world at their preferred time of day. Perfect for VIP perks, roleplay scenarios, testing environments, and custom minigames where players may want a unique lighting experience without affecting others. Key Features: Individual time control per player Allow players to choose their own time Force players to see a specific time based on group Automatically applies locked times on connect Config { "Permission-based custom times for player (24hr e.g. 07:00, 18:30)": { "envcontrol.vip": [ "15:00", "18:00", "21:00" ], "envcontrol.day": [ "12:00", "13:00" ] }, "Permission-based forced time for players (applied on connect)": { "envcontrol.night": "23:00", "envcontrol.morning": "07:00" } } Users with a permission from Permission-based custom times for player can use the /env command to set the time. Groups can stack and can contain overlapping times. Users with a permission from Permission-based forced time for players cannot use the /env command unless they have a permission from Permission-based custom times for player. When a player’s time is reset, the plugin checks whether they have a permission-based time lock. If a matching permission is found, their time is set accordingly. Otherwise, they revert to the server’s default time. Commands /env Sets your personal environment time using a 24-hour format. Example: /env 18:00 — Locks your view to evening lighting. /env list Displays all available times you can set, based on your permissions. /env reset Resets your personal time back to the default value, or to your group’s forced time if applicable. Requires envcontrol.reset envcontrol.reload Reloads the plugin configuration file. Requires envcontrol.admin Example: envcontrol.reload envcontrol.time <steamid> (time) Gets or sets a player’s locked time. Works for connected & disconnected players. Requires envcontrol.admin Example: envcontrol.time 76561198000000000 18:30 — Locks that player’s time to 18:30. envcontrol.time 76561198000000000 — Displays the player’s current locked time. envcontrol.reset <steamid> Resets a player’s time to their default value. Requires envcontrol.admin Example: envcontrol.reset 76561198000000000 envcontrol.radius <radius> <time> (x,y,z) Locks time for all players within a specific radius. Requires envcontrol.admin Example (in-game): envcontrol.radius 30 21:00 — Locks nearby players to 21:00. Example (RCON): envcontrol.radius 50 12:00 500,100,-200 — Locks nearby players to 12:00 at coordinates 500,100,-200. Permissions envcontrol.admin Provides full control over all console commands and time management features. Allows any time to be passed to /env envcontrol.reset Allows players to use the /env reset sub-command. Custom Time Groups Defines which time values specific permission groups can manually select. For example, players in a VIP group might be able to set 15:00 or 18:00. These are automatically registered based on your config. Forced Time Groups Automatically applies a fixed time to players when they connect. For example, members with “envcontrol.night” might be setup to see 23:00 on login. These are automatically registered based on your config. AI Disclaimer This product was created with the help of AI tools to enhance quality and clarity.
