GetTime -Documentation by Zlixar-

When called, returns the current system uptime in seconds, with millisecond precision.

seconds = GetTime();

None

seconds = GetTime();
print("Current system uptime is: "..seconds.." seconds!");

Current system uptime is: 60123.558 seconds!

Details: Contrary to what some believe, this does not return your current session time, time since launching the game, or time since the last patch. It returns the uptime as reported by the Windows kernel function GetTickCount(), divided by 1000.
