SET_CLOCK_TIME vs ADVANCE_CLOCK_TIME_TO

[Lovono]

I have tried those functions below

SET_CLOCK_TIME(int hour, int minute, int second)ADVANCE_CLOCK_TIME_TO(int hour, int minute, int second) 

I see that both functions do the same thing, and I see that in the decompiled scripts, only SET_CLOCK_TIME is used frequently. Does anyone know why RockStar have to make the function ADVANCE_CLOCK_TIME_TO? Does this function do anything else special - like this will make game run smoother or something?

Here is my thought - this is just a guess.

 

I think SET_CLOCK_TIME will only set the time, while if e.g. it's 02 pm and you deicde to ADVANCE_CLOCK_TIME_TO 01 PM this will add a day and set the time to 01 PM.

 

So e.g.

 

Thursday 02 PM with ADVANCE_CLOCK_TIME_TO 01 PM would make it

Friday 01 PM

 

While SET_CLOCK_TIME would make it

Thursday 01 PM

Hi there,

 

I have just tested those two natives and they seems to have the same function.

Both changed the time back and forth without modifying the day of the week, so I don't know what would be the difference, if any, of using one or another.

I would think that the latter function would advance the time in a time-lapse sort of way.

Since my guess was not correct i think you are absolutely right.

 

I am starting to get curious, if anyone solves this "mystery" please reply to this thread :-)

Hi Jedi,

 

Yes ... I thought that too... as we see when we are moving from offline to online, for example.

But it didn't do it. Both calls switched the clock immediately.
