Thx

date ( [ &year, &month, &day ] )

time ( [ &hour, &minute, &second ] )

Thx and +karma for trying to help.

Im just to stupid to understand what this means

Each parameter, passed by reference, will have the corresponding piece of time stored inside.

There is no plugin using either "time" or "date" as far as I can see in the default package, so I cant look there.

Can someone show me an example?

p.s. YESS! I managed to get the map name out of a cvar when using "date"

Passing by reference is basically sending a variable to another function, and if that function changes it, the variable is also changed in the origional function....for example

public mainFunc()
{
     new var = 0
     client_print(0,print_chat,"[AMXX] Var is %i",var) //should be 0
     changeIt(var)
     client_print(0,print_chat,"[AMXX] Changed Var is %i",var) //should be 5
     return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

public changeIt( &var)
{
     var = var + 5
}

The '&' next to var means that it is passed by reference. If you did not have the '&', it would NOT change in the original function.

Bascially what it means is you pass in the variables you want to contain the date/time vaules after you call the function. When it is done... those values have the information you need.

Exectly, this is the equivalent without reference.

public mainFunc()
{
     new var = 0
     client_print(0,print_chat,"[AMXX] Var is %i",var) //should be 0
     var = changeIt(var)
     client_print(0,print_chat,"[AMXX] Changed Var is %i",var) //should be 5
     return PLUGIN_HANDLED
}

public changeIt(var)
{
     var = var + 5
     return var;
}

It is much easier if you pass by reference, because you can pass more than one variable ;)

Thx all!

This was what I wanted:

new currentTime[9] 
get_time("%H:%M:%S",currentTime,8) 
new currentDate[11] 
get_time("%Y/%m/%d",currentDate,10)
client_print(0,3,"Current time is: %s. Current date: %s",currentTime,currentDate)

I wasnt shure about the %H, %M, %S, %Y, %m and %d.
