[?] In game date ?

[philoubmx]

Hi everyone,

Im a beginner on addon dev, so my question is maybe stupid.
I just would like to know if a function to get the "in game date" (edit : the server date) exists ( GetGameDate ?)

Thanks.

Hi,

The time() function gives you a UNIX timestamp. You can use this to get the date.

Hi,
Yes but its the "local" time, not server side. I would like to get the server date to be sure that everone has the same date.

Take a look at http://wowcompares.com/2438606/FrameXML/GameTime.lua for the function you want.

those function only provide time not date

currently they only way to get it is to calculate the offset between your time and the server time and then guess the server date. though if your own date is screwy then the server date will not be accurate either.

best bet is to write a function that does this and then syncs with others to get a majority vote on the servers date
