Is there something like GetDate ?

[PakzParticipant]

For getting a unique Random Seed in MonkeyX I use the GetDate command with the Seed command.

I noticed I can not find anything to get the current second or day in Monkey2. Is this still to be added?

Actually, there’s no GetDate as yet, will add some more time stuff soon.

SeedRnd Millisecs() usually does the trick, although it measures app execution time so it sort of depends on being used after ‘hit any key to begin’ or something, otherwise it may return similar values if just used in a set place after app start.

I am using the Microseconds command at the moment. It seems to give some different start up results.

I liked the command in Java that gave the milliseconds passed from 197x or so(was it unix time?) It was a Long integer value. Might this be possible to add also?

milliseconds passed from 197x or so

Nice idea…

Maybe this?!

Monkey

Function CurrentDate:String() Local t:Time=Time.Now() Local ts:String=t.ToString() Return ts.Slice(4,15) End Function CurrentTime:String() Local t:Time=Time.Now() Local ts:String=t.ToString() Return ts.Slice(16) End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Function CurrentDate:String() Local t:Time=Time.Now() Local ts:String=t.ToString() Return ts.Slice(4,15) End Function CurrentTime:String() Local t:Time=Time.Now() Local ts:String=t.ToString() Return ts.Slice(16) End

Sorry got excited for Open Source there for a blitz.
