GetTime -Documentation by Zlixar-

When called, returns the current system uptime in seconds.

seconds = GetTime();

Arguments
None

Returns
seconds
Floating Point Number - The current system uptime in seconds.

Example
seconds = GetTime();
print("Current system uptime is: "..seconds.." seconds!");
Result
Current system uptime is: 60123 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.
