Would you like a redo of llGetDate() ? |

Is there anyone else out there who would get behind passing a variable through llGetDate(), where llGetDate(0) returns today, llGetDate(-1) returns yesterday, llGetDate(1) returns tomorrow, etc. ?

Why not just use llGetUnixTime() and subtract or add 86400 seconds?

Method for converting llGetUnixTime()
07-31-2007 11:41
Is there a smooth way to translate the result of llGetUnixTime() into a string of YYYY-MM-DD format? It would have to be something that observes the 28,29,30 & 31 day months.

Compare the function described at http://rpgstats.com/wiki/index.php?title=LlGetTimestamp (-> llGetTimestamp)

I don't see how llGetTimestamp() helps

It doesn't appear that llGetTimestamp() gives you the data for any moment but the present, either.
How do you suggest finding the date of tomorrow, while keeping in mind that the number of days in months vary...and leap years exist? |

Personally, I just XML-RPC it at the moment. However, that would be a useful function to have in-world.

The function in the comments calculates the date back to an integer. Means you can follow the algorythm described there to add (subtract) dates (time).

Yes...but how do I get that back to YYYY-MM-DD format? That is what I'm ultimately after.

Yes, and more date/time functionality

In my opinion, as a kind of a global collaboration software (dont find better words right now to express my thoughts), LSL lacks of a proper date/time format that is able to properly handle the various date/time formats. We need things like UTC, local time, DST, functions to calculate time differences or adjust date/time values by certain values like numer of days, hours, seconds or whatever you need.
How difficult ist it right now, just to get the correct date for PDT. That shouldn't be that way. LSL needs better support for this kind of operations. |
