Day/Night cycle trigger *HELP*

[FlynnFlashpoint]

How do you create a trigger that skips time to another time in the mission?
Like that mission on CWC as the pilot and in the cinematic,time skips
How is that possible??

The tide (of the sea) is also adjusted.

Very useful function - great for giving a "campaign" feel to a running battle.

Try this in your init.sqs file -

#loop
skiptime .00333
~0.1
goto "loop"

This will make each day pass in around 12 minutes - great fun watching sunsets and the night sky !

Not to be confused with accTime.

for commands and stuff always check the editors depot first.

Anyway, use skiptime through a trigger or script.  I find it's best to use a blackout and blackin if what you're doing is giving the player the option (or even automatically) forcing time to pass mid-mission.
