Caveats
Examples
<lsl>// Reset tracker
string BOOT_TIME;
default {
state_entry() { BOOT_TIME = llGetTimestamp(); // state_entry is triggered on script reset. } touch_start(integer num) { llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "The last script was last reset @ " + BOOT_TIME); llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL, "Right now it is " + llGetTimestamp()); }
}</lsl> <lsl>// Greeting
default {
state_entry() { llSetTouchText("Greet"); } touch_start(integer num) { list TimeStamp = llParseString2List(llGetTimestamp(),["-",":"],["T"]); //Get timestamp and split into parts in a list integer Hour = llList2Integer(TimeStamp,4); if(Hour<12) llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL,"Good Morning, Oliver Sintim-Aboagye!"); else if(Hour<17) llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL,"Good Afternoon, " + llDetectedName(0)); else llSay(PUBLIC_CHANNEL,"Good Evening, " + llKey2Name(llDetectedKey(0))); }}</lsl>
Useful Snippets
Helper Functions
- Stamp2UnixInt - List format to Unix timestamp. ex: [2009, 2, 13, 3, 31, 30] to 1234567890
- compatible with llParseString2List( llGetTimestamp(), ["-", "T", ":", "."], [] )
- Stamp2WeekdayStr - Weekday from (Y, M, D) ex: "Friday" from (2009, 2, 13)
- Millisec - Converts a timestamp string to integer milliseconds accurate to within a month.
- Unix2PST_PDT - Converts a Unix Time stamp to an SLT date/time string with PST or PDT indication as appropriate.
- Unix2GMTorBST - Converts a Unix Time stamp to a UK date/time string with GMT or BST indication as appropriate.
