BI seems to be unable to make a proper time command that is synched in MP and is correctly resumed in save games, JIP and all that.

This PR adds the CBA_missionTime variable.

pros:

  • based on tickTime
  • set every frame
  • synched in MP/JIP
  • resumes correct value when loading save games
  • multiplied by accTime (SP only)
  • paused when game is paused (ESC menu, SP only)

cons:

  • -1 on clients during preInit (correct value on and after postInit)
  • not linked to ingame day time (faster)
  • ignores skipTime, setDate, timeMultiplier etc. (ingame day time)

Test:

https://gist.github.com/commy2/06de40913799965ba8e5

0 = 0 spawn {waitUntil {diag_log CBA_missionTime; systemChat str CBA_missionTime; false}};

I ran it for 2hrs and the values didn't diverge. (Although it was two game instances on the same machine)

Looks good to me. This is critical to support things that require timing across save/load games.
