Hello everyone, I've managed to make a lovely clock using some of the very clever scripts flying around, and I've even managed to make it run to GMT time! Now the clocks have gone forward but my clock hasn't. I have a feeling that it never will since SL doesn't recognise BST, only GMT. Is there an easy way to turn llGetGMTclock into llGetGMTclock +1hour? many thanks  |

integer timezone = -5;//example = EST
integer dst = TRUE;
default
{
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
integer local_time = (integer)llGetGMTclock() + ((timezone + dst) * 3600);
integer hours = local_time / 3600;
integer minutes = (local_time % 3600) / 60;
integer seconds = local_time % 60;
llOwnerSay((string)hours + ":" + (string)minutes + ":" + (string)seconds);
}
}

From the Wiki: GMT time is very useful when synchronizing with systems outside of SL via email or RPC. It is an absolute and international measure of time that does not change throughout the year. It isn't so great when trying to make a wall clock for Second Life that observes Daylight Saving Time. Creating local time from this function is a matter of adding the correct offset to GMT, a requirement complicated by yearly and national differences of when Daylight Saving Time goes into and out of effect. and: note by CeeqLaborde - I actually think this breaks bad when timezone takes the gmt time over 23:59:59 Another problem is, that with Jesse's script, you have to adjust the value for dst manually - which isn't _that_ handy and will most likely make your wallclock show the wrong time at the end of dst again (until you set dst to FALSE)... I can't wait for the day when our politicians finally come to the conclusion that dst is crap and doesn't save _any_ energy (that was the purpose of this stupid idea). Au contraire - since we've got dst, energy consumption went up... but that's a different story |

Yep, forgot to take into account > 24 or < 0: Corrected: integer timezone = -5;//example = EST
integer dst = TRUE;
default
{
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
integer local_time = (integer)llGetGMTclock() + ((timezone + dst) * 3600);
if(local_time > 86400)local_time -= 86400;
else if(local_time < 0)local_time += 86400;
integer hours = local_time / 3600;
integer minutes = (local_time % 3600) / 60;
integer seconds = local_time % 60;
llOwnerSay((string)hours + ":" + (string)minutes + ":" + (string)seconds);
}
}

Let's not forget regions which have an extra HALF-hour time difference. Heh heh.  |

From: Hewee Zetkin Let's not forget regions which have an extra HALF-hour time difference. Heh heh. or the ones that are +24 minutes too... Which is why all my clocks at ClockWerks can be set to any time (yeah, blatent plug of my stuff !!!) |
