Summary
Function: float llGetTimeOfDay( );80 | Function ID |
0.0 | Forced Delay |
10.0 | Energy |
Returns a float that is the time in seconds with subsecond precision since Second Life midnight or region up-time (time since when the region was brought online/rebooted); whichever is smaller. If the region is configured so the sun stays in a constant position, then the returned value is the region up-time.
Second Life days cycles are 4 hours long (3 hours of light, 1 hour of dark). The sunrise and sunset time varies slowly.
Caveats
Examples
<lsl>//Time will be less than 4 hours unless the sun is locked. default {
touch_start(integer total_number) { float tod = llGetTimeOfDay( ); llOwnerSay("Time since last region restart or SL midnight (based on SL 4 hour day):"); integer hours = ((integer)tod / 3600) ; integer minutes = ((integer)tod / 60) - (hours * 60); llOwnerSay((string) tod + " seconds which is "+(string) hours+"h "+(string) minutes+"m"); }}</lsl>
