OFP date.

[Ace Productions]

Hi once more,

Does anybody know if there is a way to obtain the date during a mission via a script?

i.e. 15th September.

Well, the only thing that comes to mind is missionStart

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

can't you write it in a .sqs so it appears when you want it to?

[macguba]

You know what the date was at the start of the mission, and the reserved variable time records the time elapsed since then.    

The only problem is that time has a bug in that it resets after a retry (I believe).    

Alternatively you could use a very slow loop and a daytime command to record the passing of the days.

Daytime will give the time in hours as you would see if you look at the watch in the mission.  Perhaps you could increment a date counter everytime it clicks over at midnight?  That combined with MisisonStart might enable you to do what you want

Doesn't the missionstart give the real time when it starts (Like when your computer clock is)

Thanks everybody for your replies.

I'm working on an AI improvement script that takes into consideration the climatic conditions, i.e. hot or cold, so I was looking for a way to get at least the month so I can estimate the temperature.  

[LCD]

mebe u can ask the player 2 define them ?

also remember to take the weather if u already doing that
(ill check if i can help in both wayz)

I'll keep experimenting until you find something.

I have a feeling that missionstart only works properly in MP... I could be wrong though

You may be right... I thought of the same...
