Timestamp

[Yen]

I'm on the bug again..

Is there any function that gives you the current date/time?
I think I've seen one used before.. I've attempted to use timevar2 to find the date/time, but it seems to be off. According to the value it was returning, it's only been 10 days. O_o

If there isn't a function, could one be added?

timevar2 can be used to give you the exact time and date. I've scripted one for #gscript, and it worked perfectly well.

minutes = timevar2 / 60;
hours = minutes / 60;
days = hours / 24;

Neh?

On serverside, timevar2 is unixtime, on clientside, its the time in seconds since the computer was switched on. Could this be the source of your problem?

It's giving me the same thing on both client and serverside..

EDIT: Nevermind. For some odd reason, I had two //#CLIENTSIDE lines.. O-o
Thanks.


But it'd still be nice to be able to read from your computer's clock to get the date/time.

Well what you can do is set the unix time from serverside in a clientr. variable, then interpret that on clientside to adjust the clientside timevar2 to unixtime (by taking the difference, then summing it back on when doing timestamps). It'll be out be a few seconds due to lag, but should be ok.

If your using the timestamps for some kind of secure thing though, you should probably be doing it all on serverside.
