Type mismatch trying to say time?

Hi all,

Totally lost here, I can't see anything wrong with the following but it gives me a type mismatch that I can't resolve, any suggestions? Explicit casting to integer in the llSay statement just gives a syntax error. Shouldn't be necessary anyway.

integer t;

integer hours;
integer minutes;
integer seconds;

t = (integer)llGetWallclock();

hours = t / 3600;
minutes = (t % 3600) / 60;
seconds = t % 60;

llSay(0, "Current time: " + hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds + ".";);

Any assistance appreciated.

... use this:


llSay(0, "Current time: " + (string)hours + ":" + (string)minutes + ":" + (string)seconds + ".";);

You should typecast to string in the llSay statement.

llSay(0, "Current time: " + (string)hours + ":" + (string)minutes + ":" + (string)seconds + ".";);

Just wanted to thank you for this, it worked perfectly.
