Es gettime

From EventScripts Community Encyclopedia

es_gettime is the correct title for this article. The title you see above is incorrect due to technical limitations.

Overview

Syntax: es_gettime <variable>

Note: Command parameters are described inside the < and > characters. Optional parameters are contained within [ and ] characters.

Variation of this command that doesn't expand variables: es_xgettime

Stores the current seconds since January 1, 1970 in variable. Always growing value. EventScripts will expand any variables it finds.

es_xsetinfo timenow 0
es_xgettime timenow 
es_msg The number of seconds elapsed since Jan 1 1970 is server_var(timenow)

The value can be too large for some math operations. For doing math operations on time, please use es_gettimestamp instead.
