Fast Time script

[TheSzerdi]

Ok, so the script makes day go 3x and night go 6x, but players aren't synced. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or how to force sync?

In the mission init.sqf I have:

startdate = [2012,0.72123287671];
[true] execVM "fastTime.sqf";

Then this is the script:

sleep 20;
//Credit to TiGGa for original script
//startdate = [2012,0.72123287671]; //9-19-2012 06:00
_increments = 0.0000002; //~1 minutes
 
for [{_i=0},{_i<1},{_i=_i}] do
{
    _date = startdate select 1;
    _date = _date + _increments;
    if (_date >= 1) then //set year +1
    {
        startdate set [0,(startdate select 0)+1];
        startdate set [1,0];
    }
    else
    {
        startdate set [1,_date];
    };
    setDate NumberToDate startdate;
    if (((NumberToDate startdate) select 3) >= 18 or ((NumberToDate startdate) select 3) <= 6) then {_increments = 0.0000004;} else {_increments = 0.0000002;};
    sleep 20;
};

because is in the mission file, people will load it at different times, when they login right? is that why is desynch?

 

[TheSzerdi]

Yes, they each start at the beginning time. Is there a way to pull a dynamic startdate?

Could you try and work in the time variable, as it counts the number of seconds since server start and use it when setting the original startdate?

I gave up on it and used this:

But that was buggy also, so I've just gone back to Always Day.
