In console there is `gsSetDayTime` command.

How can you achieve the same thing with Lua? I can't find it within g_currentMission. There is g_currentMission.environment.currentHour / g_currentMission.environment.currentMinute but setting these values doesn't seem to do anything.

In FS19 one can use "g_currentMission.environment.consoleCommandSetDayTime()" or "g_currentMission.environment.setEnvironmentTime()".
But I'm not sure if it works in FS15 already. Try out.

Thanks!

"g_currentMission.environment.consoleCommandSetDayTime()" works perfectly as expected.

"g_currentMission.environment.setEnvironmentTime()" is available but I don't know what the parameters should be.

If I run:

"g_currentMission.environment.consoleCommandSetDayTime(18.0)" the time gets set to 18:00 as expected.

If I run:

"g_currentMission.environment.setEnvironmentTime(18.0)" nothing happens.

If I run:

"g_currentMission.environment.setEnvironmentTime(18, 0)" then the time gets set to 00:00.

Haven't figured out yet what the second command expects but the first works great, thank you!

I'd assume, as first parameter is an environment table expected.
Perhaps it works with 'setEnvironmentTime(nil, time)' or 'setEnvironmentTime(g_currentMission.environment, time)'?

Either of your suggestions result in:

Error: Running LUA method 'update'.
D:/code/lsim2015/build/finalbin/dataS/scripts/environment/Environment.lua(445) : attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'currentDay' (a table value)
Error: Running LUA method 'draw'.
D:/code/lsim2015/build/finalbin/dataS/scripts/environment/Environment.lua(659) : attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'dayOffset' (a table value)

I don't know much about modding but it's interesting! I will use the "consoleCommandSetDayTime()" instead which works as expected.

Unluckily it's not documented anywhere, so one can only guess.
According to the error messages maybe the function expects setEnvironmentTime(currentDay, dayOffset, time)?
Anyway, much room for own experiments. *g*
