Night or day?

[KyleSarnik]

Well... how would I detect the time in my script, like whether its night time or day time, basicly the same times that the streetlights and AI vehicle lights and AI NVGs go by...

buy AI vehicle lights and AI NVGs I mean when the AI detects its the right time to use all of that stuff and when its the right time to stop using it...

thanks in advance

From the command reference:

time
Type of returned value:
    Number
Description:
    time elapsed since mission start (in seconds)

As the editor, you set the time of day when the mission starts, so using that and this command, you can tell what time it is.

erm, sorry barron but thats not what im looking for. Basicly all I really need to do is detect if it is between two set times... like 17:00 and 6:00 (or whatever time lights go off in the morning).

Try the:

daytime

command.

What this does is return the hour of day as a single number. So 1700 would be 17. 0600 would be 6.

However when you use it, don't ever use ==. Use less than and greater than instead, as it's not an integer. OFP uses the decimal to keep track of the minutes/seconds. So an actual value ends up being something like:

17.5567295

which would be about 1734

Okay, now I'm curious. What does your script do?
