[Trigger] Game Time same as Computer Time

[Ungerbla]

hi. im building a massive rpg sort of map. and i want some events to take place at say 02:00 so you have to play at that time to play that event.

but i cant make this. i need help. and that's where you come in.

 

[BlargHonk]

Can't

Not without hacking

 

[Ungerbla]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I don't think there is a way to make warcraft get the time from your computer.
That would need: a hack to read system things, or an online server which gives the time (like wow does)

 

[Ungerbla]

and there is no other way then to hack?

 

[DarkAngelAzazel]

Nope I don't think so. Or do you know anything in warcraft which uses the realtime?

I think you have to find another solution.

 

[BlargHonk]

Oh noessss

Check out RtC. I believe they have something to check the time. But it uses a hack so it isn't possible to play it on b.net yet.

Here is the link concerning RtC's natives about system time

It is quite advanced, so if you're not familiar to JASS or any kind of progamming language I suggest you disregard this question and move on with your life...

We need to find a way to stop desyncs now.

Does it work over LAN?

 

[Eleandor]

Technically, it does not work at all.

At least, not with the latest patches. I think they're fixing the problems right now, but it's not fixed yet.

 

[BlargHonk]

Meh, still, desyncs online are annoying.

 

[Eleandor]

Besides, it won't work on battle.net anyway. You'll need 3rd party servers to be able to use about 90% of the RTC API's, which is what warsoc is about...
