Problem with the daytime :/

[Na_Dann_Ma_GoGo]

Hi there,
I would like to play (or more specific: at least test) my map during daytime. Thus noon or at least at dawn.
However I once in the past changed it to midnight or so, I don't even remember. But at the moment I just can't reset it back to noon. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Scenario - Map Options - Prefs - daytime settings -> no effect
File - Preferences - Visuals - daytime settings -> no effect

Heck I can and did work around this with triggers easily, just a single line... but it really bugs me at the moment. Is there anything I'm missing? Any other secret place to set the daytime?
Because no watter (apart from triggering) what I try to check / uncheck / set right now in whatever settings, they daytime starts at 24:00 / 0:00.

PS: Is it normal, that when pressing "L" in the editor to see the lighting that it swaps between day and night? Sounds logical and so, but just asking

Game - Set the time of day to 12.00

When you press "L" it doesnt change from day to night, it just removes lighting effects (which does make it look brighter) But you will also notice a lack of shadows (because no light = no shadows) but doodads and units still have shadows

Hmkay thanks.
But which "Game" option do you mean? Where is it located?

That was a trigger

• Game - Set the time of day to 12.00

Jesus Christ... -.- . I asked where the options in the WE are and not how to do that with triggers. I stated that in my first post.
I want to work on the map without darkness.

Only way user can change daytime directly is by cheats:
lightsout - nighttime
riseandshine - daytime
Other than that you need triggers to set the daytime, just like wolfman and Big_Dub stated.

EDIT:
Forget about it :/

lol relax, I know what you want, I just didn't have time yesterday. Default night always ticked me off so I found how to fix it.
When in the editor click on File > Preferences > Visual Tab > Fixed Time of Day > Noon
This will make it so it is always midday when the editor is running, instead of going night day night day.
