XbabylonX Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hello all, I was wondering, is there any way to get the time displayed in the client window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Which time? The viewer always displays SLT in the upper right corner of your screen, and your own computer displays your local time in the lower right. What other time do you need? If you really do need some other time, you can either write yourself a clock script and build an appropriate HUD with it, or -- easier -- look for a freebie clock in Marketplace or in world and attach it to your screen as a HUD.

Yes, the viewer's time for SLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolig Loon Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 OK, then that's in the upper right corner of your screen now. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolig Loon Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 We're going around and around, so one of us is missing something important here. Let's try again. You already have SLT in the viewer's window. It's in the upper right corner of your screen. If you really need a second display that shows you the same thing, you can either write yourself a clock script and build a HUD with it, or you can take the easy way out and find a freebie clock HUD that someone else has made. If that's somehow not what you are asking for, please clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like nothing from here http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:LSL_Time returns the exact datetime the viewer's show, if Im not mistaken.

You really need to state why you need this and exactly what you want it to do. You want something that will shout SLT in local chat for what purpose? Eveyone in SL has the SLT in the upper right corner of their viewer.. Why would you need to shout it in local chat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aha! So you don't want to display a clock? You just want to grab the current SLT for some reason? Then yes, use llGetWallclock and convert from its time in seconds to a time expressed in hours, minutes, and seconds. If you want the date too, you'll have to use llGetDate and then mess with the offset from GMT to SLT, which is a little harder than it sounds but not impossible. You'll find routines in the wiki for that. Edited September 11, 2017 by Rolig Loon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the topic's title confused the things. Yes this returns the time, I assume that using llGetDate( ) will return the date of the viewer's correctly, right?

Rolig Loon Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Yes, if you happen to be in London. Otherwise, you will need to write a little bit of code to apply the offset to SLT, as I noted above. San Francisco is always 8 hours behind London (except during the transition to Daylight Savings Time, which occurs a week later in the UK than in the US. Very confusing.

Rolig Loon Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 In that case .... the SLT part is settled, since you can get it from llGetWallclock, but the date is a bear. You may want to take a completely different route, starting with llGetUnixTime.

KT Kingsley Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 You might also want to look at llGetTimestamp, which returns the standard UTC date and time string. The helper functions linked on that page could also prove useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
