Ultra-lite library for retreiving server time in second + millisecond precision.

{{userfunc}} 
<center>'''GameTime:Get''' ''- by [[user:Mikk|Mikk]] -''</center>


This is an ultra-lite library for retreiving server time in second + millisecond precision. It will stay at hour+minute precision for the first minute played, but will be accurate after that.


hour, minute, second = ''<PREFIX>''_GameTime:Get()

== Function Parameters ==
=== Returns ===

:hour, minute, second

:;hour : Integer number 0-59
:;minute : Integer number 0-59
:;second : Floating-point number with (theoretically) millisecond precision.

Note that the actual precision is limited by your framerate. With 50FPS, the precision will be 1/50=0,02.

==Details==


: The code creates an invisible frame that measures when [[API GetGameTime|GetGameTime]]() moves into a new minute in an <OnUpdate> handler, and uses [[API GetTime|GetTime]]() to offset seconds/milliseconds from when it last happened. Obviously, it cannot return second precision until this has happened the first time.

==Code==


<div style="max-width: 80em; margin-right: 2em; height: 20em; overflow: scroll;">
<PREFIX>_GameTime = {

-----------------------------------------------------------
-- function <PREFIX>_GameTime:Get()
--
-- Return game time as (h,m,s) where s has 3 decimals of
-- precision (though it's only likely to be precise down
-- to ~20th of seconds since we're dependent on frame
-- refreshrate).
--
-- During the first minute of play, the seconds will
-- consistenly be "00", since we haven't observed any
-- minute changes yet.
--
--

Get = function(self)
if(self.LastMinuteTimer == nil) then
local h,m = GetGameTime();
return h,m,0;
end
local s = GetTime() - self.LastMinuteTimer;
if(s>59.999) then
s=59.999;
end
return self.LastGameHour, self.LastGameMinute, s;
end,

-----------------------------------------------------------
-- function <PREFIX>_GameTime:OnUpdate()
--
-- Called by: Private frame <OnUpdate> handler
--
-- Construct high precision server time by polling for
-- server minute changes and remembering GetTime() when it
-- last did
--

OnUpdate = function(self)
local h,m = GetGameTime();
if(self.LastGameMinute == nil) then
self.LastGameHour = h;
self.LastGameMinute = m;
return;
end
if(self.LastGameMinute == m) then
return;
end
self.LastGameHour = h;
self.LastGameMinute = m;
self.LastMinuteTimer = GetTime();
end,

-----------------------------------------------------------
-- function <PREFIX>_GameTime:Initialize()
--
-- Create frame to pulse OnUpdate() for us
--

Initialize = function(self)
self.Frame = CreateFrame("Frame");
self.Frame:SetScript("OnUpdate", function() self:OnUpdate(); end);
end
}

<PREFIX>_GameTime:Initialize();
</div>
