// Time of day is a fraction between 0 and 1, 0 is midnight, 0.5 is noon
string printTimeOfDay(float dayFraction) {
integer hours = (integer)(dayFraction * 24);
integer minutes = (integer)(dayFraction * 24 * 60) % 60;
integer percent = (integer)(dayFraction * 100);
return (string)hours + ":" + llGetSubString((string)(100+minutes), 1, 2) + " (" + (string)percent + "%)";
}
default {
state_entry() {
llSetTimerEvent(5);
}
timer() {
float timeOfDay = (llGetUnixTime() + llGetRegionDayOffset()) % llGetRegionDayLength() * 1.0 / llGetRegionDayLength();
llSetText(printTimeOfDay(timeOfDay), <1,1,0>, 1);
