Take a peek at  the FORMATDATE() function.

exactly what I'm looking for.
Code: [Select]
print NOW

This function returns the local time expressed as seconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00am. The function does not accept any argument. This function is similar to the function GMTIME but returns the local time instead of the actual GMT.

thanks for your help! ;)

Code: Script BASIC
  1. FormatDate("format",time)
  2.  

Arguments

format is a string using the formatting characters described in the docs.

time can be NOW or any other number of seconds past Jan. 1, 1970.

It's really easy to do date math in Script BASIC.

Script BASIC only has a resolution of 1 second. I created a millisecond resolution timer using the SDL_gfx extension module.

Like I said, Script BASIC only has 1 second resolution. The number you're getting back from NOW or GMTIME is seconds past Jan. 1, 1970 00:00 AM. You need to do milliseconds function in an extension module like I did with SDL_gfx or IMPORT it.
