choosing night or day?

[Commando]

Any one know how to make a thing in the lobby where you can choose between night and day?

[Terox]

This is done by either using the:
 Param1 values (Normally used for gamelength)
or
 Param2 values (Normally used for Score limit)

In your editor setup, change your map time to 0:00 hrs (midnight)
and then the skiptime values will be around about correct for the sunrise and sunset timings depending on time of year you selected
(Tweak the values until you get the results you are after

Skiptime simply advances time from the actual daytime setting

One thing to note
To reset param1 back to say a 30 minute game, then you need to re-declare its value after it has run through the "Skiptime" lines

eg Param1 = 1800, resets the value to 30 minutes (1800 is the number of seconds)

Description.EXT entries

Code: [Select]

titleParam1 = "DAYTIME";
valuesParam1[] = {1,2,3,4};
defValueParam1 = 1;
textsParam1[] = {"Dawn", "Midday", "Dusk", "Night"};

Init.sqs Entries

Code: [Select]

?(param1 == 1):skiptime 6.2
?(param1 == 2):skiptime 12
?(param1 == 3):skiptime 18.4
?(param1 == 4):skiptime 0.1

Param1 = 1800
