About setDate command

[mr_centipede 31]

Hi, I used a setDate command to randomize starting time of a mission, I works okay, just that whenever I finish the mission, the debriefing says mission time is 0min no matter how long i'm in mission.

Is the setDate bugged or I need to do something else? I just put the setDate command in my unit init field, but also happened if I put it in init.sqf

0min!? You must be setting a date behind the actual date difference. If you choose a date after your mission editor set one (ie in the mission settings) you will have positive time.

I use setDate to set about 5 months ahead, and it is usually 'time passed' is around 5000minutes, so you could make a differential script that would work out the actual time passed, but I'm not sure how you could do that.
