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 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)));
    }
}
