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

Examples

//Created by Ugleh Ulrik

string TimeAgo(integer time)
{
    // time difference in seconds
    integer now = llGetUnixTime();
    integer timeDifference = now - time;

    // small bug fix for when timeDifference is 0
    if (timeDifference == 0)
        return "just now";

    list periods = ["second",
        "minute",
        "hour",
        "day",
        "week",
