GetTime offset relative to server's timezone

This stock allows you to get the amount of seconds the server is before or after unix. I used it to make offsets to use GetTime in a way that works around the end of the day, 00:00. Hopefully it will be useful to you.

Code:

stock int GetTimeOffset()

{

        bool Negate = false;

        char Time[11];



        FormatTime(Time, sizeof(Time), "%A", 86400);

        

        if(StrEqual(Time, "Thursday")) // 86400 in unix is Friday, meaning the timezone brought us back a bit.

                Negate = true;

                

        FormatTime(Time, sizeof(Time), "%H %M", 86400); // Can't use 0 because of negatives I think. I assume.

        

        char sHour[4], sMinute[4];

        

        int pos = BreakString(Time, sHour, sizeof(sHour));

        

        FormatEx(sMinute, sizeof(sMinute), Time[pos]);

        

        int secondstotal = StringToInt(sHour) * 3600 + StringToInt(sMinute) * 60;

        

        if(secondstotal == 0 || !Negate) // Server's time is positive or zero ( unix time )

                return secondstotal;

                

        else 

        {

                /*

                Suppose an hour negative, turns 00:00 into 23:00. The result should be -3600.

                -1 * (86400 - (23 * 3600 + 0 * 60)) = -3600

                */

                return -1 * (86400 - secondstotal); 

        }

}

Re: GetTime offset relative to server's timezone

How about, this way ?

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <sdktools>

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    RegConsoleCmd("sm_test", test);
}

public Action test(int client, int args)
{
    char buffer[60];
    FormatTime(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "%z");

    // Example "%Z", output: "FLE Daylight Time"
    // **** Standard Time = disabled, Daylight Saving Time (DST)
    // **** Daylight Time = enabled, Daylight Saving Time (DST)

    int offset = StringToInt(buffer);

    int minutes = offset % 100; // 0 - 99
    int hours = offset / 100;
    
    offset = (hours*3600) + (minutes*60);
    
    PrintToServer("FormatTime UTC%s, offset %i seconds", buffer, offset);


    return Plugin_Handled;
}

*edit
And... GetTime() returns UNIX time, which is UTC-0.
But FormatTime returns with timezone+dts.
