Need help with MP mission parameters

[colosseum 34]

All,

Would like to be able to set mission parameters in MP (such as the time of day), but cannot get it to work.

I have the following lines in Description.ext:

class Params
{
class DayTime
{
	title="Start time:";
	values[]={1,3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,25};
	texts[]={"1:00am","3:00am","6:00am","9:00am","12:00pm","3:00pm","6:00pm","9:00pm","12:00am"};
	default=12;
};
};

And using this line in init.sqf:

// Skip to parameter-defined time
definedTime = (paramsArray select 0);
skipTime definedTime;

I'm sure it's something very simple but I CANNOT figure it out.

Thanks,

Ian

Description.ext:

class Params
{
 class TimeOfDay {
   title = "Time of Day";
   values[] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,99};
   texts[] = {"0000","0100","0200","0300","0400","0500","0600","0700","0800","0900","1000","1100","1200","1300","1400","1500","1600","1700","1800","1900","2000","2100","2200","2300","Random"};
   default = 16;
 };
};

init.sqf:

if isserver then {
 private "_t";
 _t = paramsarray select 0;
 if (_t == 99) then { _t = random 24 };
 skiptime ((_t - daytime + 24) % 24);
};

Brilliant!

Thanks so much!

This makes it come up with error when trying to test mission in editor (undefined expression in paramsarray) :(
