Skipping time script.

[domcho 20]

Hi, guys. If you ever played the CWC campaign, remember the mission called "Escape" where you play as pilot Sam Nichols and are captured by the Soviets, then taken to a camp and told to stay in a tent? When you get in the tent, wait a bit the time starts to change and you can see the cool sunset. I was very impressed by this and wanted to do this 1 day in one of my missions. Here is how to do it:

setacctime 1.0

_i = 0

#loop
_i = _i + 1
skipTime 0.015
~0.1
? _i > 150 : goto "end"
goto "loop"
#end

titleCut ["A few hours later...","BLACK OUT",3]

~3
skipTime 3

~1

titleCut ["","BLACK IN",3]

You can combine it with camera script to be even cooler.

Edit: I made a little change to the script and uploaded a demo of it:

Hope you like it.

Quick on for you,

I can add a skiptime to a trigger, 6 hour advance every time you access the radio trigger... But, I wanted it to slow down and take 30 seconds to move time 6 hours when pressed... How might I do this...? Whats the easiest way to get this to work...? I am terrible at scripting...

Thank you in advance for any help... Could you maybe please fire me a PM with the answer as well so I can track it via email...? Cheers, and thanks again for you help...

See if this one suits you... (it's triggered by menu though)

30 seconds to move time 6 hours

Hi. Here:

Save to mission directory and activate like 0 exec "skip.sqs"

; skip.sqs
; 0 exec "skip.sqs"

; eg shift 6 hours in 30 seconds
_shift = 6
_perioid = 30


_tgt = (dayTime + _shift + _perioid/3600) % 24
_sk = 0
#loop
_pt = _time
; 1 / 30 fps ~= 0.033 spf
~0.033
_d = (_shift / (_perioid / (_time - _pt)))
?_sk + _d > _shift: _dt=dayTime; if(_dt > _tgt) then {_tgt=_tgt+24}; skipTime (_tgt - _dt); exit
skipTime _d
_sk = _sk + _d
goto "loop"
