llGetWallclock

Summary

Function: float llGetWallclock( );

0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Returns a float that is the time in seconds since midnight Pacific time (PST/PDT), truncated to whole seconds. That is the same as the time of day in SLT expressed as seconds.

For GMT use llGetGMTclock

Examples

// Real World Sun
integer Flag;

default
{
    state_entry()

        Flag = -1;

        if (Flag == -1)

Notes

To determine if the current time returned by this function is PST or PDT, you can look at the difference between llGetGMTclock() and llGetWallclock(). The difference will be either 8 hours or -16 hours for PST, and 7 hours or -17 hours for PDT, that is 28800 or -57600, or 25200 or -61200 seconds.
