What time is it

[CaseyRedDragon Wise]

This script will tell the time in AM/PM time or 24 hour time for ether of the four USA Time Zones and also tells the date and what day of the week it is. I was going to put this on the wiki but I couldn't figure it out.

// Time Script by CaseyRedDragon Wise
// feel free to IM me if you have any questions or comments

integer dateoff;
string smin;
string sseconds;
string timeofday;
string time;

//Set timezone to the number corresponding to the time zone you want
//Pacific Time Zone = 0
//Mountain Time Zone = 1
//Central Time Zone = 2
//Eastern Time Zone = 3
integer timezone = 3;

//Set type to "standard" for AM/PM Time or set to "military" for Military Time
string type = "standard";

string uStamp2WeekdayStr( integer vIntYear, integer vIntMonth, integer vIntDay ){
return llList2String ( ["Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday"],
(vIntYear + (vIntYear >> 2) - ((vIntMonth < 3) & !(vIntYear & 3)) + vIntDay
+ (integer)llGetSubString( "_033614625035", vIntMonth, vIntMonth )) % 7 );
}

Nice work.  For completeness, don't forget Hawaiian Standard Time (HST) and Alaskan Standard Time (AKST) too.  :smileywink:

[CaseyRedDragon Wise]

well it seems alot just to find the time. I think there needs to be a Function that will make this easy and simpler to do.

[Rolig Loon]

You've already done the work, though.  How much harder is it to add two more time zones, each just an extra hour offset from the one to the east of it?  The hardest parts of your script are the Void's weekday function, which you are using to good effect here, and gettting the day to roll over properly at midnight. 

[CaseyRedDragon Wise]

Well see it gets the time for the 4 time zones from the llGetWallclock  which will adjust for DST, but Hawaiian and Alaskan don't have DST so I would have to make the  script be able to know when DST is and then adjust for it which would be long. There is a small bug in the script, sometimes on the last day of the month instead of saying 7-31-2012 it mite say 8-0-2012.

[Rolig Loon]

Ah, I see... So use llGetGMTClock instead.

i'll get to it but its free for anyone to do it themself if they want
