The previous script is way unnecessary for Avatar age, SL sales history etc. Here is all that is needed for 99% of SL applications. | |||
This code is in fact valid for all years from 1901 to 2099, as 2000 was a leap year. | |||

Caveats
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 + (((month > 8) + month) / 2)- ((1 + (((!(year % 4)) ^ (!(year % 100)) ^ (!(year % 400)))
Useful Snippets
Helper Functions
- Timestamp: list format to Unix timestamp - ex: [2009, 2, 13, 3, 31, 30] to 1234567890
- compatible with llParseString2List( llGetDate(), ["-"], [] ) (reports as first second of given day)
- Timestamp: Weekday from (Y, M, D) - ex: "Friday" from (Y, M, D)
