Summary
Function: integer llGetUnixTime( );
| 0.0 | Forced Delay |
| 10.0 | Energy |
Returns an integer that is the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00 hours, Jan 1, 1970 
UTC from the system clock.
Caveats
Time codes before the year 1902 or past the end of 2037 are limited due to the size of LSL's 32-bit integers. As of writing (2024) this is just 14 years away now and any scripts relying on this function may have logical errors.
Examples
// Reset tracker
integer BOOT_TIME;
default
{
state_entry()
{
BOOT_TIME = llGetUnixTime();
llSetTimerEvent(0.1);
}
timer()
{
llSetText((string)(llGetUnixTime() - BOOT_TIME) + " Seconds since boot.\n\n ", <1,0,0>, 1.0);
llSetTimerEvent(1);
}
}
