Galactic Time and Scripting

[PhantorGorth]

Is there a way to get the current Galactic Mean Time via Javascript?

I have searched both the wiki and the board and can not find anything on this. (This maybe because the appropriate search terms are bringing up too many false hits for me to wade through though.)

Yes, there is a set of JS functions and properties to access the clock both as full string format and as its individual elements. Here is an example of how to use it:

Code: Select all

this.clockReport = function()
{
	log("clockReport.begin","---------------------------------------------------");
	log("clockReport.absoluteSeconds", clock.absoluteSeconds);
	log("clockReport.seconds", clock.seconds);
	log("clockReport.minutes", clock.minutes);
	log("clockReport.hours", clock.hours);
	log("clockReport.days", clock.days);
	log("clockReport.secondsComponent", clock.secondsComponent);
	log("clockReport.minutesComponent", clock.minutesComponent);
	log("clockReport.hoursComponent", clock.hoursComponent);
	log("clockReport.daysComponent", clock.daysComponent);
	log("clockReport.clockString", clock.clockString);
	log("clockReport.isAdjusting", clock.isAdjusting);
	log("clockReport.end", "-----------------------------------------------------");
}

This produces the following output in the log:

[clockReport.begin]: ---------------------------------------------------
[clockReport.absoluteSeconds]: 5.822000026702881
[clockReport.seconds]: 180058011442.82214
[clockReport.minutes]: 3000966857
[clockReport.hours]: 50016114
[clockReport.days]: 2084004
[clockReport.secondsComponent]: 22
[clockReport.minutesComponent]: 17
[clockReport.hoursComponent]: 18
[clockReport.daysComponent]: 2084004
[clockReport.clockString]: 2084004:18:17:22
[clockReport.isAdjusting]: false
[clockReport.end]: -----------------------------------------------------

Thanks, precisely what I need.

Now I know what it is called I can see it is in the wiki.
