I have searched for this over 2 days now. And can't find it. Please help me. How can i make time go faster. like 24 MINUTES is a entire day?

Probably you searched at the wrong places then.

setAccTime

Also OFPEC with its forums and Editors Depot is an excellent resource.

I think the command you want is skipTime

You have to make a loop that skips the time by a certain amount every x seconds.

For example, every 1 minute, the time skips an hour. Now you'll notice this, as the light changes quite noticibly, so you might want to cut it down a bit, like 10 seconds, 10 minutes.

Thanks. Found the code "skipTime HOUR" But but but.... where should i put it? In a trigger? Description.ext?

EDIT: Ok so this code Skips time allright. But in sahrani life the time skips 2 hours foreward every 5 minutes i think... I want that in my mission. I do not want any acceleration so that all the units run around like ants.

skipTime

this code says it doesn't effect units.

just do skipTime 16 or 24

in a looping script

the time in seconds, you want to wait, then how many hours you want to skip.

In this case, 300=5 mins, it will wait 5 mins, then skip 8 hours, then wait 5 mins then skip 8 hours over and over again.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

#loop

~300

skipTime 8

goto "loop"

exit

You'll need to create and execute a script file.

See BI Wiki - Introduction to scripting.

exactly what fasad said.

In other words

Definitely check out the site fasad posted, will help alot.

but basically, open a new text document and put:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">#loop

~300

skiptime 8;

goto "loop"

exit

file save as skiptime.sqf

select All Files as the file type.

open another text document, this time put:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

this exec "skiptime.sqf"

save as Init.sqf

select All Files as the file type.

Then put both of the files into your mission folder.

Example: C:\MyDocuments\ArmaOtherProfiles\YourProfile\Missions\YourMission

then open your mission in the editor and preview.

If your get any errors post 'em here. Other than that, it should skip 8 hours every 5 minutes
