Precise time

[Shihan Feiri]

Is posible and if is, what to use, that script triger predefined event in precise time  (second life time ).

 

For example: betwen 02:00pm and 04:00 pm that script change color in red in 08:00pm - 10pm to change color in green etc.

And  color changing is just example.

 

If someone have similar script pls IM me.

 

tnx

Could you be a bit more precise about what you mean by precise?

It's basically possible using a timer and one of the different function that give you the time - e.g. llGetUnixTime

[Shihan Feiri]

ok, I talk about RL time. If is 2pm script stop with use one data ( eg. Green color) and start to use predefined data (eg. Red data)  for this time  until next time period.

So eg. in 2pm script use data 1, in 3 pm script use data 2, in 3 pm script use data 3 etc.

I think what Darkie is getting at is...

"how precise do you need to be?"

 

having something happen at an exact predetermined second is pretty hard to near impossible with LSL. for instance, the region the object is on may be down, or the object may be in inventory so can't do anything.

 

but, if you want to use a certain set of data if it's after X:YZ time, then that's easy. Just check llGetUnixTime, or llGetWallclock and see decide from that what to use right now.

Well, if your answer is 'not that precise... but within like, a second' then you can just get the time, convert to hours, and just put in some ifs or whiles.

There is no need to make a loop for checking the actual time
The following script will set the color when entered and then on every second hour on hours=0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22
That is 12 events in 24 hours

The colors in the script are just an example and will not match the wishes in the OP

Note: time calculations are not optimized but written step by step for clarity
