Notes

Very useful function - great for giving a "campaign" feel to a running battle. Try this in your init.sqs file: while(true) do { skiptime 0.00333 ~0.1 } This will make each day pass in around 12 minutes - great fun watching sunsets and the night sky! Not to be confused with accTime. A useful piece of code that will enable the mission to skip forward to any given time, irrespective of what time it happens to be in the mission is: skipTime (_timeToSkipTo - daytime + 24 ) % 24 See also: a % b

Note that time can also be skipped "backwards", ie. you can provide negative values and jump back in time.

One second is roughly 0.00026.

In ArmA, skipTime does not actually estimate weather changes beyond moving the clouds across the sky. Weather counters continue as if no time has passed.
