Notes

This command is special in that it is "smart". If you add 120 minutes, for example, it will actually advance hours by 2, and so on. --Doolittle 18:52, 6 October 2007 (CEST) This command sets the date for the southern hemisphere only, i.e. when the map is in northern hemisphere a date [2010,12,7,17,0] is in day light and and date [2010,6,7,17,0] is in darkness. --Alpha 10:00, 7/12/2010 (BST) In multiplayer, the effect of this command is local, not global. The date from the server is synchronized with clients when they join the game (including start of the mission and joining in progress). E.g. if this command is executed on server in the init.sqf before the mission starts, every client will be synchronized with server as mission is started. However, if you run this command in the middle of the mission, effect is local. --Osmo 21:35, 31 October 2011 (EET)
