How to check server/local time?

[Edamh]

Did a search, but didn't find anything really relevant. I want to run specific waypoints or parts of waypoints only at specific times of the day. Is there a function that I can use to check what the time is -- either server or local? Thanks.

I use os.date with a "*t" argument.
http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-os.date
It returns a table with hour, minute etc values.

Example, to do something after 2:30 pm.

Code: Select all

local date = os.date("*t")
if date.hour > 14 and date.min > 30 then
    .... do something

To check for between 11am and 11pm, would I setup something like?

Code: Select all

local date = os.date("*t")
if date.hour > 11 and 23 > date.hour  then
    .... do something

Thanks again.

"> 11" is 12 or more. If you want to start at 11 it should be ">= 11" or "> 10". Otherwise the rest is good.
