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
Specification
<lsl> //Created by Ugleh Ulrik string TimeAgo(integer tm) {
integer dif = llGetUnixTime()-tm; //difference in seconds if (dif == 0)//Small bug fix if dif is 0 return "0 seconds"; list pds = ["second","minute","hour","day","week","month","year","decade"]; list lngh = [1,60,3600,86400,604800,2630880,31570560,315705600];//the number equivalent to pds integer v; integer no; for(v = llGetListLength(lngh)-1; (v >= 0)&&(no = dif/llList2Integer(lngh,v)<=1); v--);
string dd = llList2String(pds,v); integer ntime = dif / llList2Integer(lngh,llListFindList(pds, [dd])); //this will get the correct time in pds, then divide the dif if(no != 1)dd +="s"; //if integer no is not equal to 1 then it should have an s at the end dd = (string)ntime + " "+ dd; //This produces the finished output
return dd;
} </lsl>
Examples
<lsl> //Created by Ugleh Ulrik default {
touch_start(integer total_number) { integer time = llGetUnixTime() - 180; llSay(0, TimeAgo(time) + " ago"); }
}
//integer time is the current unix time minus 180 seconds (3 minutes)
