Function triggered depending on time

Hi,

Apologises for newbie question - I want to trigger a function at a certain time say at midnight GMT time. I know I can use llGetTimestamp() to get the time but how do I trigger a function without an event happening?

Thanks

Ues a timer event and then compare the time inside the event.
This should do it (but i have not tested it)

If you needed to rase an event in a sript only at midnight use this

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSetTimerEvent(60.0);
}
timer()
{
list timestamp = llParseString2List( llGetTimestamp(), ["T",":","Z"] , [] );
if(0==llList2Integer(timestamp,1))llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,0,"it is midnight","";
}
}

Then in the script to be interupted use a linkmessage event.

llGetGMTclock() might be better for you too

also as a concept, instead of having a lot of timer comparisons, have only one

default{
  state_entry(){
    llSetTimerEvent( 86400 - llGetGMTclock() );
  }

  timer(){
    //-- do stuff
    llSetTimerEvent( 86400 - llGetGMTclock() );
  }
}

just be aware that timers are subject to sim time dialation, so it'll always be a little off, but the second call from within the timer should keep it from being increasingly unstable
