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.

Syntax

missionStart

Returns: Array 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]

Examples

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]);
};

Multiplayer

Command only has the desired return value in multiplayer.
