New Scripting Possibilities in Release candidate patch.

[FG28_Kodiak]

With the new patch its possible to get the Mission time.

double t = GamePlay.gpTimeofDay();

it's a double so you must convert it into time Format.

    static string CreateTimeString(double num)
    {
        double hours = Math.Floor(num); 
        double minutes = (num - hours) * 60.0; 
        double seconds = (minutes - Math.Floor(minutes)) * 60.0;  
        int H = (int)Math.Floor(hours);
        int M = (int)Math.Floor(minutes);
        int S = (int)Math.Floor(seconds);   
        return H.ToString() + ":" + M.ToString() + ":" + S.ToString(); 
    }

Also we get the possibility to set lables, but i had no luck to get it to work. So maybe others can give me a hint how to use it.

Regarding labels I've tried:

    public override void OnUserCreateUserLabel(GPUserLabel ul)
    {
        //Player ulPlayer = ul.Player;
        GamePlay.gpLogServer(null, "Marker: {0}", new object[] { ul.Text });
        GamePlay.gpDrawUserLabel(ul);
    }

    public override void OnPlaceEnter(Player player, AiActor actor, int placeIndex)
    {
		base.OnPlaceEnter(player, actor, placeIndex);
		
        //Point2d startPoint2d = new Point2d(actor.Pos().x, actor.Pos().y);
        //GPUserLabel userLabel = GamePlay.gpMakeUserLabel(startPoint2d, player, player.Name(), GamePlay.gpTimeofDay(), 0);
        //GamePlay.gpDrawUserLabel(player.Army(), userLabel);
        //GamePlay.gpLogServer(new Player[] { player }, " Hello {0} in {1}!", new object[] { bobDesignation((actor as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName()), userLabel.Text });
        //GamePlay.gpLogServer(null, " Hello {0} in {1}!", new object[] { bobDesignation((actor as AiAircraft).InternalTypeName()), userLabel.Text });
... etc

But no joy (I can use label properties but nothing visible on map).
(Also, pressing enter creating a new label in map window fires my guns )

Hopefully someone nails the usage of the new label features.

Didn't have luck with user labels too

I tried scripting labels as well. No compiler errors, but no labels for ground object displayed in online mission. I wonder whether labels are only displayed with icons-on server settings?

I did a test with all icon stuff enabled, no success.

Me too,

i got the OnUserCreateUserLabel Event in single player but not in Multiplayer and Dedi. In all cases no Icon was shown. So it seems to be a Bug.
