Note: This function is deprecated. Its use is discouraged as it may be removed in a future update. It is recommended that Squirrel's system library function, time() be used instead.

This function returns the number of seconds elapsed since January 1, 1970 (also known as the unix time). This function is useful for measuring longer time intervals.

Syntax

int GetTime()

Arguments

• none

Example

This example tells the player how many days have elapsed since January 1, 1970, when they type '/days'

 
function onPlayerCommand( player, cmd, text )
{
     if ( cmd == "days" )
     {
          MessagePlayer( "Did you know, that " + floor( GetTime() / 86400 ) + " days have elapsed since January 1, 1970?", player );
     }
     
     return 1;
}
 

Notes

The function MessagePlayer and call onPlayerCommand were used in this example. More info about them in corresponding pages.
