Contains a code snippet that should do it for you - the hours =time/3600 bit should return a number from 0 to 23.

You'll have to string it and bump 0-9 up to 00 - 09 to get 4 digit time.

Here's a REALLY simple clock script I have...and it's basically just from the WIKI:

integer hours;
integer minutes;
integer seconds;
integer currenttime;



default
{
    state_entry()
    {
           
    }
    touch_start(integer number)
    {
        currenttime = (integer)llGetWallclock();
        hours = currenttime / 3600;
        minutes = (currenttime % 3600) / 60;
        seconds = currenttime % 60;
        
        llInstantMessage(llDetectedKey(0), "The current time is: " + (string)hours + ":" + (string)minutes + ":" + (string)seconds);
    }
}

Here's a link to the WIKI with a clock that has a military time toggle
