Skipping Time in campaign missions?

[KiloVenom 10]

I probably don't know how to use the search correctly because I found nothing on this subject which I'm a bit surprised by.... but here goes anyways...

I'm on Mission 10- Dogs of War. I'm making some progress in this level but it has become dark. It's about 7pm. Is there a way to skip time to a specific point? I don't want to run at x4 cause that would still take a long long time to run off 8-10hours.

I can't believe the developers left this out of the game. But is there a way I can do this? I'm a total noob at scripting so I wouldn't even know where to begin if you gave me the code.

I doubt you would be able to do it in a campaign tbh. Someone may have an answer though.

Why is darkness a problem?

The campaign might be a problem to skip time in it, as campaign missions are dependant sometimes on the previous missions.

Id assume its worth a try but I remember back in OFP you were able to skip time in a mission and again I dont recall which one,

not sure if there was a code used or if it was a script that enabled it.

Here it is, this is a scripting command

Youll probably have to edit a script or maybe the mission your on to do it.

but in the editor if you can test this out to see how it works

- add a radio trigger,

- call it by alpha,

- detected by blufor,

- set to repeatedly

- name it skipTime

put skipTime 5 in the on Activation field then when the mission starts go to your map and watch

your watch :D and hit the skipTime on the radio and you will jump 5 hours ahead.

change 5 to a 2 and youll skip 2 hours at a time.
