Nice job Mindy! Thanks for adding my ideas.

[EDIT]

Here's a trigger that syncs the system clock with the Warcraft 3 game clock.

function Trig_Real_Time_Actions takes nothing returns nothing  
call SetTimeOfDay((I2R(GetTimeHours())) + (I2R(GetTimeMinutes()))/60 + 
(I2R(GetTimeSeconds()))/3600) 
endfunction 
//===========================================================================
 function InitTrig_Real_Time takes nothing returns nothing
  set gg_trg_Real_Time = CreateTrigger( )
  call TriggerRegisterTimerEventPeriodic( gg_trg_Real_Time, 30.00 )
  call TriggerRegisterTimerEventSingle( gg_trg_Real_Time, 0.00 )
  call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Real_Time, function Trig_Real_Time_Actions )
  call SetTimeOfDayScale(0.0055) 
endfunction

The time is re synced every 30 seconds just in case someone pauses the game thus pausing the WC3 clock.

Note: This will only work in single player.
In a LAN or Bnet game it will cause a desync.

Have fun!

Nice example of how to use the natives in a WarcraftIII map. +REP

So basically you can use this to set the ingame time to the computer's time?

 

[MindWorX]

Yes. But it could also be used to make special events at certain dates or times...
