Getting Unix epoch time?

pamkatgo

Is it possible to check a variable against unix epoch time without custom coding? I've look everywhere and couldn't find anything so I tried to custom code it myself but I can't seem to figure it out.
Or even set a variable to unix epoch time so I can check that against another variable?

Thanks for any help!

Welcome to the community, @pamkatgo.

Scripting is necessary, but only a couple of lines.

After getting the current time as an integer, you can update an AC Global Integer with this value so that it can be compared with others.

Here's a script that should do it - just create a Global Integer variable named "Epoch Time", and it should get updated whenever the script is present in your scene:

using System;
using UnityEngine;
using AC;

public class SetEpochTime : MonoBehaviour
{

    void Update ()
    {
        DateTime epochStart = new DateTime (1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
        int cur_time = (int)(System.DateTime.UtcNow - epochStart).TotalSeconds;
        GlobalVariables.GetVariable ("Epoch Time").IntegerValue = cur_time;
    }

}

Thank you so much! That works perfectly
