Epoch time

[MaddDogg]

Hi!

I just ran into the problem of not having a source for the epoch time.

So I decided to try my best and script my own function.

I'm as far as the following:

function getEpochTime()
local nowTime = getRealTime()
 
return ((1900 + nowTime.year) - 1970) * 365.25 * 24 * 60 * 60 + nowTime.month * 30.4167 * 24 * 60 * 60 + nowTime.monthday * 24 * 60 * 60 + nowTime.hour * 60 * 60 + nowTime.minute * 60 + nowTime.second
end

But still, there is something incorrect.

I think it has something to do with the leapyear, but I can't figure it out.

It would be cool if you could help me or even give me a finished function, if there is one.

Thanks in advance!

This?

Or did I misunderstand something?

Thanks!

That's the function I searched the whole day for, but couldn't find it!

Thank you again!
