Title: missionStart doesnt work
Post by: Rubble_Maker on 10 Jul 2003, 21:03:40

It doesn't return anything! Is the command buggy or am I doing something wrong? Also, what is it supposed to return - a string or a number?

thx

Does this answer your question?

missionStart

type of returned value:
Array

Description:
Return time when mission start in format [year,month,day,hour,minute,second]

version 1.8 required

Seems to me the usage would be something like:
titletext format["%1",missionstart]

Hehe thx, I know the OCR ;)

But when I try this code, it returns NOTHING.

Okay, more precisely it returns

[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]

(dunno if the number of zeros is correct, but all values in the array are zero). This is returned in both previewed and exported missions, so I assume the command doesn't work (bug or obsolete).

AFAIK, the command works only in MP and is supposed
to return the the real time (i.e. not the game time)
the mission started.
