Night Or Day Selector

[IGWedge]

I am currently making a mission. I would like to be able for the player to have the choice of wether to play
at night, day, dawn or dusk. I am sure i have seen this in a mission before.

Any ideas. (Also would this work in MP?)

Many thanks

Hi
Depending on the time you have already set at start of mission you can use the SkipTime command.

Play around with the last number until you get what you want.

Once you have that in a script you could use Parameters (defined at the start of a mission in MP at the player team selection screen by the admin).

You can try this:

Put this in your init file:

; SET SCENARIO CONDITIONS
; Using the value of "Param1", set by the admin using a slider in the scenario set-up screen),
; the following code sets the time and weather conditions for the scenario.

?(Param1 == 1) : goto "DuskClear"
?(Param1 == 2) : goto "NightClear"
?(Param1 == 3) : goto "DawnClear"
?(Param1 == 4) : goto "NoonClear"
?(Param1 == 5) : goto "DuskOvercast"
?(Param1 == 6) : goto "NightOvercast"
?(Param1 == 7) : goto "DawnOvercast"
?(Param1 == : goto "NoonOvercast"
?(Param1 == 9) : goto "DuskStorm"
?(Param1 == 10) : goto "NightStorm"
?(Param1 == 11) : goto "DawnStorm"
?(Param1 == 12) : goto "NoonStorm"
?(Param1 == 13) : goto "DuskMist"
?(Param1 == 14) : goto "NightMist"
?(Param1 == 15) : goto "DawnMist"
?(Param1 == 16) : goto "NoonMist"
?(Param1 == 17) : goto "DuskFog"
?(Param1 == 18) : goto "NightFog"
?(Param1 == 19) : goto "DawnFog"
?(Param1 == 20) : goto "NoonFog"

Then put this in your description.ext file:

// CONDITIONS SELECTOR
// The following code creates a slider in the scenario set-up screen that allows the admin to
// determine the time and weather conditions for the scenario. The selector sets the value of
// "Param1", which is used by a corresponding segment of code in the "init.sqs" file.

titleParam1 = "Conditions:";
valuesParam1[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20};
defValueParam1 = 3;
textsParam1[] = {"Dusk - Clear","Night - Clear","Dawn - Clear","Noon - Clear","Dusk - Overcast","Night - Overcast","Dawn - Overcast","Noon - Overcast","Dusk - Storm","Night - Storm","Dawn - Storm","Noon - Storm","Dusk - Mist","Night - Mist","Dawn - Mist","Noon - Mist","Dusk - Fog","Night - Fog","Dawn - Fog","Noon - Fog"};
//

Hope that helps.
