Title: Day/Night Effects
Post by: Blacknite on 02 May 2010, 01:02:35

I figured out how to make it Day/Night, but only works in client, but doesnt make the effect for server.  How do I do that?

You'll have to run the skipTime or setDate command on the server as well. Not sure if setDate is local or global though, but skipTime is local and thus only changed on the machine that runs the command.

One way to get around the troubles of broadcasting commands across the network could be createUnit (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/createUnit) a gameLogic with the skipTime command in its init line.

If you want to set the time at mission start you can simply process the setDate or skipTime in the init.sqf outside of any isServer or isPlayer checks.

setDate is global. Only execute it on the server.
