llGetUnixTime

Summary

1/2 Bugs

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);
    }
}
