Jan. 1st, 1970 00:00:00(GMT) STANDARD
Hi, this is a defacto standard, it sure would be handy in LSL! (I cannot believe it ISN'T already there! holy cow..)

llGetTime()
llGetTimeOfDay()
llGetDate()
etc...

pfffft! At times, I want real time, when I don't care what time the server booted, an object was created, or what date (preformatted!) it is.

You can dump at least 2 functions for the following new function:
llGetCompTimeStandardInSecondsSince00:00:00(GMT)Ja
n1st1970ThankYouVeryMuch();

You can opt for a shorter named function call, if that pleases you.

Thanks,

This deserves its own thread. I would definatly use this to schedule events in my scripts to make sure they don't get missed even if the server was down at the normal time, or anything else that may happen.

Also I want llGetDay() that returns the day of the week as a number or string.

Err, wrong thread Nada, this is about timestamps (and the standard of basing it off Jan 1st, 1970). Something which I believe 110% needs to be in ANY code/script language.

Any other time function (not timer functions) are derived from this value. So let's have it!

...course you might have cross posted, I just did a minute ago and can't find the post now
