OS.time

[Marcousik]

Hello !

What about os.time() ?

I was able to use this for randomseed() and it compiled good, now comes an error...

I tried os:time() but it did not succeed too 

thx for help/ideas !

os.time works but it requires that lua sandbox be disabled. If you are trying to get a number to use with randomseed() and random(), try using Time:Millisecs() as it doesn't require lua sandbox to be disabled.

On a side note: os.date seems to be more user friendly if anyone is trying to obtain time in hours/minutes/seconds... https://www.lua.org/pil/22.1.html

window = Window:Create("CLOCK",0,0,500,500,Window.Titlebar+Window.Center)
context = Context:Create(window)
world = World:Create()
camera = Camera:Create()
light = DirectionalLight:Create()
light:SetRotation(30,35,0)

box1 = Model:Box()
box1:SetPosition(0,0,1.5)
box1:SetColor(1,0.5,0,1)

while not window:KeyHit(Key.Escape) do
	if window:Closed() then return false end
	
	box1:Turn(0,Time:GetSpeed()*0.5,0)

 	Time:Update()
	world:Update()
	world:Render()
	
	local temp = os.time()
	context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
	context:DrawText(os.date("%I:%M:%S"),2,2)
	context:DrawText(temp,2,22)
	context:DrawText(os.date("%X", temp),2,42)
	context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)
	context:Sync(true)
end
