Skip time only between certain hours

[CaptainBravo 0]

I have seen and tested a few skip time scripts, they are not exactly what I am looking for. I am looking to skip time 1 hour every 5 minutes between 6pm 6am after that script ends. Tried with triggers to start and end script with no luck. I was wondering if there is a simple clean script to achieve this?

Thanks for your help.

while {true} do 
{
 if ((daytime > 6) and (daytime < 18)) then { skipTime 1; };
 sleep (5 * 60);
};

while {true} do 
{
 if ((daytime > 6) and (daytime < 18)) then { skipTime 1; };
 sleep (5 * 60);
};

Thanks Przemek_kondor, can this be activated from trigger or needs to be in script format?

IIR "sleep" doesn't work in triggers so using execVM is required.

But maybe this trick would work in trigger:

temp = [] spawn {while {true} do {if ((daytime > 6) and (daytime < 18)) then { skipTime 1; }; sleep (5 * 60); };};

I have tried the trigger and for some reason did not work.

So I have tried executing script in init.sqf with execVM "skiptime.sqf"; but still no luck. now I have >18 and <6 as it is supposed to kick in once evening comes. So I am not sure what I have missed here?

skiptime.sqf:

while {true} do

{

if ((daytime > 18) and (daytime < 6)) then { skipTime 1; };

sleep (5 * 60);

};

Yes, I made mistake (I accelerated day instead of night).

So does it work or not?

If not:

-rememeber to use -showScriptErrors (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma2:_Startup_Parameters#Developer_Options) parameters to see errors on screen

-use logs: hint or http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/diag_log to debug

Remember all that needs to run on all clients since it's local. Also skiptime isn't broadcast to JIP players like date is.

@Przemek_kondor for some reason it is not working. Is execVM "skiptime.sqf"; the right way to excute script in init.sqf?

@kylania I thought with patch 1.6 JIP got skiptime update right away and everyone else got it after 30 seconds?

(daytime > 18) and (daytime < 6)

But such condition will never become true. Value can't be in the same moment bigger than 18 AND smaller than 6.

Use this instead:

if ((daytime > 18) OR (daytime < 6)) then {skipTime 1};

Exactly

Thanks Rydygier, works perfect now thanks.:don 11:
