Comments Very useful function - great for giving a "campaign" feel to a running battle. Try this in your init.sqs file:
while(true) do {
skiptime 0.00333  ~0.1  }
 
This will make each day pass in around 12 minutes - great fun watching sunsets and the night sky! Not to be confused with [[accTime]]. A useful piece of code that will enable the mission to skip forward to any given time, irrespective of what time it happens to be in the mission is:
skipTime (-[[daytime]] + _timeToSkipTo)</pre> |= Example 1
