Summary

Function: float llGetWallclock( );
0.0 Forced Delay
10.0 Energy

Returns a float that is the time in seconds since midnight Pacific time (PST/PDT), truncated to whole seconds. That is the same as the time of day in SLT expressed as seconds.

For GMT use llGetGMTclock

Examples

<lsl>// Real World Sun integer Flag;

default {

   state_entry()
   {
       Flag = -1;
       llSetTimerEvent(0.1);
   }
   
   timer()
   {
       float time = llGetWallclock();
       if (Flag == -1)
       {
           llSetTimerEvent(60.0);
       }
       if (time < 21600)
       {
           if (Flag)
           {
               llSetText("The Sun is coming! :)", <1,1,0>, 1.0);
               Flag = 0;
           }
       }
       else if (time < 64800)
       {
           if (Flag != 1)
           {
               llSetText("Sun has risen. :(", <1,0,0>, 1.0);
               Flag = 1;
           }
       }
       else if (Flag != 2)
       {
           llSetText("Goodbye Sun. :(", <1,0,0>, 1.0);
           Flag = 2;
       }
   }

}</lsl>

<lsl>// Convert to human-readable HH:MM:SS format string ConvertWallclockToTime() {

   integer now = (integer)llGetWallclock();
   integer seconds = now % 60;
   integer minutes = (now / 60) % 60;
   integer hours = now / 3600;
   return llGetSubString("0" + (string)hours, -2, -1) + ":" 
       + llGetSubString("0" + (string)minutes, -2, -1) + ":" 
       + llGetSubString("0" + (string)seconds, -2, -1);

}

default {

   touch_start(integer total_number)
   {
       llSay(0, ConvertWallclockToTime());
   }

}

</lsl>

Notes

To determine if the current time returned by this function is PST or PDT, you can look at the difference between llGetGMTclock() and llGetWallclock(). The difference will be either 8 hours or -16 hours for PST, and 7 hours or -17 hours for PDT, that is 28800 or -57600, or 25200 or -61200 seconds.
