Getting unix time

[drifterCZE]

Hello... I am looking for an func which gives me actual unix time... but I can't find any... os.time() doesnt work and MTA function getRealTime() is able to return timestamp only in MTA 1.1+

Is there any other way than getting {second, minute, day, month, year} from getRealTime() and calculate it by me own? Thanks

Do you mean this?

local realTime = getRealTime() 
date = string.format("%04d/%02d/%02d", realTime.year + 1900, realTime.month + 1, realTime.monthday ) 
time = string.format("%02d:%02d", realTime.hour, realTime.minute )

No. I want to get something like "1305239697"

I think here's what you looking for:

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Useful_Functions

The script:

function isLeapYear(year) 
    if year then year = math.floor(year) 
    else year = getRealTime().year + 1900 end 
    return ((year % 4 == 0 and year % 100 ~= 0) or year % 400 == 0) 
end 
  
function getTimestamp(year, month, day, hour, minute, second) 
    -- initiate variables 
    local monthseconds = { 2678400, 2419200, 2678400, 2592000, 2678400, 2592000, 2678400, 2678400, 2592000, 2678400, 2592000, 2678400 } 
    local timestamp = 0 
    local datetime = getRealTime() 
    year, month, day = year or datetime.year + 1900, month or datetime.month + 1, day or datetime.monthday 
    hour, minute, second = hour or datetime.hour, minute or datetime.minute, second or datetime.second 
  
    -- calculate timestamp 
    for i=1970, year-1 do timestamp = timestamp + (isLeapYear(i) and 31622400 or 31536000) end 
    for i=1, month-1 do timestamp = timestamp + ((isLeapYear(year) and i == 2) and 2505600 or monthseconds[i]) end 
    timestamp = timestamp + 86400 * (day - 1) + 3600 * hour + 60 * minute + second 
  
    timestamp = timestamp - 3600 --GMT+1 compensation 
    if datetime.isdst then timestamp = timestamp - 3600 end 
  
    return timestamp 
end 

For me it returned: 1305222073

Hm, thanks... But I think there must be something "easier" anyway... because thoose things u use to get Unix time are originaly calculated from Unix time, it must got it from some alternative func to os.time...

Well, that's what i found, let's see if someone else know something else.
