       Help? Yes sir, I do...

         Heh, your time idea is in luck today. It's a command called "Skiptime", which I've used un-doubtfully in my map "Cessena Fun", but that's another story...errr...

      Anyway, I've usually attached this command to the radio. The one where you hit, 0-0 while playing in game? Then you have your different radio options.

      So, here's how to do it:

1. OPen up your Mission in the editor.
2. Click a button, on the top of the screen, that says "Trigger"
3. Double Click near your Player to place a "Trigger"
4. In the triggers, "Activation" Field (Text-Box), enter this command: "skiptime 1". This means, that it will skip 1 hour. If you wanted it to skip 30 Mins, it'd be "skiptime 0.5".
5. Click on the "Activation" drop-down menu, and select "Radio Alpha".
6. Then, in the text field, enter "Skiptime 1 Hour". You can change this field, and the skiptime command too.

     THere you have it, click O.K., and preview your map. Go to the radio and hit Skiptime 1 Hour. Now, there's a problem. Double click on your trigger again, and change it from "Once" to "Repeatedly". THe two options should be on the right-hand side, near the top about mid-way.

     I hope this helps, and good luck with your map!

  Ack...

      Ayy, these forums are starting to grow on me, fast.

        I was typing up a nice reply, with some more use-ful information, and a Command Reference you could use. But, it said the file was to large, I hit the back-button, and my total post was gone...Tsk tsk....

      Anyways, I'm glad it helped you. Usually I'm the one asking the question, well, the more advanced ones. Not once in a blue moon I get to help someone else...Errr....Doesn't make me a Scripting Guru...Does it?.....

    I thought you might be interested in a Command Reference, an Un-Official Command Reference V.s 1.46 Something. It's more than just a Command Reference, and it's more than Un-Official too, it's got all commands known to OFP (Operation Flashe Pointe). It has animations, Weapons Lists, and much much more. THe only thing it doesn't have is a Building List (nudge, nudge).

     It's accurate up to the Original Game, not for Operation Flash Pointe: Resitance...The one I have I can just send it to you, alot easier than digging around with the Search....

      Well, contact me if interested, a command reference like this could help ya out alot. Did me...You'll even see the Skiptime command in there...Look it up...Go ahead I dare ya...I still dare ya...I double Dare you....No wait, I TRIPLE dare you...Yeah, go on...I'm still daring you...No, I Dare YOU....
