If your date is not showing correct add this to the clock function in :

function showclock()
   dato = date()
   _,_,mm,dd,yy,ttt,mmm = strfind(dato, "(%d+)/(%d+)/(%d+)%s(%d+):(%d+)")
   local ddd = date("%A")
   mm = tonumber(mm)
   dd = tonumber(dd)

   if dd == 1 or dd == 21 or dd == 31 then
      suf = "st"
   elseif dd == 2 or dd == 22 then
      suf = "nd"
   elseif dd == 3 or dd == 23 then
      suf = "rd"
   else
      suf = "th"
   end

.......................................................................

function dotime(user,data)
   dato = date()
   _,_,mm,dd,yy,ttt,mmm = strfind(dato, "(%d+)/(%d+)/(%d+)%s(%d+):(%d+)")
   local ddd = date("%A")
   mm = tonumber(mm)
   dd = tonumber(dd)

   if dd == 1 or dd == 21 or dd == 31 then
      suf = "st"
   elseif dd == 2 or dd == 22 then
      suf = "nd"
   elseif dd == 3 or dd == 23 then
      suf = "rd"
   else
      suf = "th"
   end
......................................................................
This will sort your date out

I was dipping into the Mean_Machine by Snowman and I came across this func ...

I would like to know what would cause the date not to display propertly ..

I cant seem of a logical excuse ...

I use this script that shows the time in main and it shows the correct time. Because the time on the message it sends it times, is the same as the time stamp in DC. So maybe it isn't always wrong with how the script checks the time.

Code Select

-- TimeBot by aMutex - 30.12.2002 
BotName = #Clock" 
TimeSpanInMinutes = 180 
function Main() 
SetTimer(TimeSpanInMinutes*60000) 
StartTimer() 
end 
function OnTimer() 
SendToAll(BotName, date("The time is %T in our hub local timezone.")) 
end

Sure ... I'm cool with that ...
I still don't get it .. why would the date AND the time display "not show correct"? (as it is stated in this first post )

the only posible bug i know in this comes from the fact some ppl use the date() wrong.
many use time = date("%H")..:..date("%M").."."..date("%S").
but this can go wrong, best explained with an example.

it's 11:59.99 when you do date("%H"), this retrieves 11.
next the date("%M") is triggered, which should retrieve 59.
but if the time changed it can return 00.
the result is that time becomes 11:00, now thats an hour 2 late.
