Description:: Returns date and time when mission started. Because this command returns the time of the actual start of the mission, it might not be available in pre-init or init, but is guaranteed to be available in post-init when time > 0.
Multiplayer:: Command only has the desired return value in multiplayer.
Groups:: Mission Information

Syntax:: missionStart
Return Value:: Array in format [year, month, day, hour, minute, second] in multiplayer, which differs from date format only by seconds. In SP returns [0,0,0,0,0,0]

Example 1:: setDate (missionStart select [0,5]);
Example 2:: Set real date: //postInit = 1; if (isServer) then { waitUntil {time > 0}; setDate (missionStart select [0,5]); };
