Problem description:
Ok. This chunk of code checks the time for when to change from day to night or vice versa, and then change by first changing to dusk or dawn.
The problem with it is that when I change my system clock to the appropriate times to test it, day to night works fine, but going from night to day freezes processes in the game (no new processes will spawn, etc). I'm assuming it's some sort of issue with the clock changing, but I'm not sure.
