Compare OS time on lua.

[kito2]

I found getWorldTime() but can't test right now what returns... If anyone knows, would be cool if him answer me!
Another thing, I need to compare getWorldTime() with an hour (for example 18:29 and 20:22) and if the hour is between those times, then what ever xD

Do you mean "os.time()"?

That returns a timestamp for the moment you execute it.

The idea is to compare actual hour and see if it is equal to 8:00 pm.

You can try this

function compareCurrentTime(newSec,newMin,newHour,newDay,newMonth,newYear)  -- if not defined any of this then it default the current time value[ all arguments are optional]
	local cur = os.date("*t",os.time())
	newSec,newMin,newHour = newSec or cur.sec, newMin or cur.min, newHour or cur.hour
	newDay,newMonth,newYear = newDay or cur.day, newMonth or cur.month, newYear or cur.year
	cur.sec, cur.min , cur.hour, cur.day, cur.month, cur.year= newSec, newMin, newHour, newDay, newMonth, newYear
	return os.time() == os.time(cur)
end

example

local hour, min, sec = 22, 6, 40
if compareCurrentTime(sec,min,hour) then
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,MESSAGE_TYPES["blue"],"it is "..hour..":"..min..":"..secnod.." pm.")
	else
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,MESSAGE_TYPES["blue"],"it is ".. os.date("%H:%M:%S",os.time()).." and you want "..hour..":"..min..":"..secnod.." pm.")
	end

Easier one

Date_1 = {year=2011, month=01, day=20, hour=17, min=36, sec=20}
Date_2 = {year=2011, month=02, day=20, hour=17, min=36, sec=20}
Date_3 = {year=2011, month=03, day=20, hour=17, min=36, sec=20}

Stamp_1 = os.time(Date_1)
Stamp_2 = os.time(Date_2)
Stamp_3 = os.time(Date_3)


if Stamp_1 > Stamp_2 and Stamp_2 < Stamp_3 then
--do something if date_2 between date_1 and date_3
end

date_n = {year=2012, month=03, day=6, hour=16, min=17, sec=00}
 
date = os.time(date_n)

if (os.time() > date) then
--what ever
end
