Summary
Function: string llGetTimestamp( );| 0.0 | Forced Delay |
| 10.0 | Energy |
Returns a string that is the current date and time in the UTC time zone in the 
ISO 8601 format "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.ff..fZ"
Appears to be accurate to milliseconds.
Examples
// 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());
}
}
// 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)));
}
}
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.
