Time Travel With LUA Scripting

[butch4343]

Folks,

Another question from me (I know am full of them right now)

I was wondering is it possible to "time travel" with LUA? By that I mean is it possible to set up a script to jump forward in time?

Ie I have a QRA sortie that takes place at 0800hrs 01/12/2017, then nothing happens in my scenario to say 2100hrs, is it possible to use a LUA to fast forward through time to 2100hrs 01/12/2017 or any other time I choose?

I know the LUA documentation mentions get current time, but I cant see if it is possible to set a script up that changes the current time in the scenario.

Any Ideas?

Do you mean jump the clock forward? Without actually any real time elapsing?

Michaelm,

Exactly mate, I know the player could simply use the time accelerate button, but wondered if there was a tidier way where the scenario designer could do it for the player.

Anyone any ideas if this is possible?

Not possible as far as I’m aware.

Maybe worth a feature request?
