Summary

Function: string llGetDate( );

Returns a string that is the current date in the UTC time zone in the format "YYYY-MM-DD".

If you wish to know the time as well use: llGetTimestamp which uses the format "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.ff..fZ"

Examples

<lsl> // Birthday surprise default {

   state_entry()
   {   
       llSetTimerEvent(0.1);
   }
   timer()
   {
       if(llGetDate() == "2009-02-15")
           llSetText("HAPPY BIRTHDAY!", <0,1,0>, 1.0);
       else
           llSetText("A surprise is coming...", <0,1,0>, 1.0);
        
       llSetTimerEvent(3600.0);  // check every hour. 
   }

} </lsl> <lsl> // Function to calculate the numeric day of year integer dayOfYear(integer year, integer month, integer day) {

   return
         day
       + (month - 1) * 30 - (2 - ((year % 4) == 0) * ((year % 100) != 0)) * (month > 2)
       + (month / 2) * (month <= 8) + (4 + (month - 7) / 2) * (month > 8);

}

default {

   touch_end(integer count)
   {
       list dateComponents = llParseString2List(llGetDate(), ["-"], []);
       integer year  = (integer) llList2String(dateComponents, 0);
       integer month = (integer) llList2String(dateComponents, 1);
       integer day   = (integer) llList2String(dateComponents, 2);
       llSay(0, "The current day of the year is " + dayOfYear(year, month, day));
   }

}
