string llGetTimestamp()Returns a string containing the current date and time in the UTC time zone formatted as an ISO 8601 timestamp ('YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.ff..fZ').integer llGetUnixTime()Returns an integer representing the current Unix timestamp (the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00 Jan 1, 1970 UTC).llSetTimerEvent(float sec)Sets a timer to trigger a timer event periodically every sec seconds. Passing 0.0 stops further timer events.

• string llGetDate()function

  Returns a string representing the current date in the UTC time zone in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD'.

• integer llGetDayLength()function

  Returns an integer representing the number of seconds in the environmental day cycle applied to the current parcel.

• integer llGetDayOffset()function

  Returns an integer representing the offset duration (in seconds) added to calculate the current environmental time on this parcel.

• float llGetGMTclock()function

  Returns a float representing the time in seconds since midnight GMT (truncated to whole seconds).

• integer llGetRegionDayLength()function

  Returns an integer representing the total number of seconds in the region-wide day cycle.

• integer llGetRegionDayOffset()function

  Returns an integer representing the offset duration (in seconds) added to calculate the current environmental time for the region.

• float llGetRegionTimeOfDay()function

  Returns a float with subsecond precision representing the elapsed seconds since region environmental midnight or region uptime (whichever is smaller). If the region's sun position is fixed, returns region uptime.

• float llGetTimeOfDay()function

  Returns a float with subsecond precision representing the elapsed seconds since parcel environmental midnight or region uptime (whichever is smaller). If the parcel's sun position is fixed, returns region uptime.

• string llGetTimestamp()function

  Returns a string containing the current date and time in the UTC time zone formatted as an ISO 8601 timestamp ('YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.ff..fZ').

• integer llGetUnixTime()function

  Returns an integer representing the current Unix timestamp (the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00 Jan 1, 1970 UTC).

• float llGetWallclock()function

  Returns a float representing the time in seconds since midnight Pacific Time (PST/PDT), which is equivalent to Second Life Time (SLT) truncated to whole seconds.

• llSetTimerEvent(float sec)function

  Sets a timer to trigger a timer event periodically every sec seconds. Passing 0.0 stops further timer events.

• llSleep(float sec)function

  Puts the script to sleep for sec seconds (at least until the next server-frame, ~0.02222 seconds). The script is inactive during this time. If sec is 0.0 or less, the script does not sleep.

• timer()event

  Triggered at regular periodic intervals configured by llSetTimerEvent.
