Summary

Function: string TimeAgo( integer tm );

Returns a string that will give you the difference in time.

• integer tm Unix Time used for difference

See also: llGetUnixTime

Specification

<lsl> //Created by Ugleh Ulrik string TimeAgo(integer tm) {

   integer dif = llGetUnixTime()-tm; //difference in seconds
   if (dif == 0)//Small bug fix if dif is 0
   return "0 seconds";
   list pds = ["second","minute","hour","day","week","month","year","decade"];
   list lngh = [1,60,3600,86400,604800,2630880,31570560,315705600];//the number equivalent to pds
   integer v; integer no;
   for(v = llGetListLength(lngh)-1; (v >= 0)&&(no = dif/llList2Integer(lngh,v)<=1); v--);

string dd = llList2String(pds,v); integer ntime = dif / llList2Integer(lngh,llListFindList(pds, [dd])); //this will get the correct time in pds, then divide the dif if(no != 1)dd +="s"; //if integer no is not equal to 1 then it should have an s at the end dd = (string)ntime + " "+ dd; //This produces the finished output

   return dd;

} </lsl>

Examples

<lsl> //Created by Ugleh Ulrik default {

   touch_start(integer total_number)
   {
       integer time = llGetUnixTime() - 180;
       llSay(0,  TimeAgo(time) + " ago");
       }

}


//integer time is the current unix time minus 180 seconds (3 minutes)

//The outcome will be "3 minutes ago"</lsl>
