date triggers

[HistoryMan]

Anyone know if it possible to specify not just the day in an event date command , but also the hour ?

So, for instance, instead of :-

date = { day = 3 month = september year = 1939 }

you might have :-

date = { hour = 11 day = 3 month = september year = 1939 }

Anyone know if this is a valid syntax ?

Thanks in advance (this a quick question before I go to bed, or I'd test it.. just don't have the time to test and debug, and try alternatives, etc, before sleep claims me)

Never seen that, so probably not, but you can try.

Yes, it's possible, it works and you did it right:

date = { day = 5 month = august year = 1936 hour = 8 }

This will make the event happen at august 6 at hour 8 in the morning .

I can confirm this, after a quick test. It doesn't seem to matter, though, where the hour field is in respect to the other fields (day, month, year), so for ease of reading I would probably put the hour first (makes sense in my mind to scale up the timescale like this).

Good job Panzergutentag!

Thanks once again

I thought that was widely known.

I found it in some piece of vanilla code or maybe even in Stony Road, can't remember.
