Ransomized Start Time and Weather

[MikeyBStard 7]

Hi guys,

A rather late comer to ARMA 3 here. I've set up a decidated server and currently have it cycling through the Combat Patrol missions. Is there an easy way to make the Start Time and Weather settings random without having to log in as Admin and change them??

 

Thanks in advance

Hello,

the below script sets the time on mission start. Check the link that directs you to the version champ-1 posted back in 2014:

For random weather you can for example use the version by Meatball. Check the link to Armaholic

And the original post here on BI forums

There might be more recent versions of the aforementioned functionalities but if the newer versions seem to be difficult to come by you can as well use these two since they work just fine in Arma 3 and in dedicated environment even today.

If you want something quick & dirty, super simple, you can use skipTime and setOvercast.

 

if (isServer) then { skipTime (random 24) };

if (isServer) then { 60 setOvercast (random 1) };

 

Weather is tricky sometimes as it doesn't sync well in MP. Check the wiki for more info. On my phone right now.
