: Here is a 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!
: skipTime is not to be confused with accTime.
: Here is 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: skipTime (_timeToSkipTo - daytime + 24 ) % 24 See also: a % b; Posted on Feb 25, 2007
Manny: Note that time can also be skipped "backwards", ie. you can provide negative values and jump back in time.; Posted on March 21, 2007
granQ: One second is roughly 0.00026.
Ceeeb: In ArmA, skipTime does not actually estimate weather changes beyond moving the clouds across the sky. Weather counters continue as if no time has passed.
