Skiptime compressing 24hrs into 30 minutes
« on: 10 Mar 2003, 17:57:31 »
What i want to do is compress a 24 hour period smoothly into a 30 minute game

I know how to use the skiptime command for admins to select various times of day when starting a map

But what i want to do with this particular map is start the game at 15:00 and have it cycle through day-night-day again with a smooth transition

Do i have to create a looping script to do it or is there another way

Zeus ARMA2 server IP = 77.74.193.124 :2302
Teamspeak IP = 77.74.193.123

I think you'll have to create a looping script, which skips a certain amount of time per minute in a total of (23,5hours x 60) during a 30min mission. It's simple. Just a few maths and you'll have it workin'  ;)

Ok, thats not how u do it......the way it has to be done for multiplayer is u need to change the time on the server only then tell the clients to update every 5-60 seconds....thats the way i have done it and it works perfectly....if u only do the loop the games on each client will end up in the different time....
