GetTime of a different timezone - Blademaster680 - 18.10.2014

Is it possible to get the time from a different timezone and display it as a
textdraw at the top of the player's screen?
I am wanting the server to get the timezone from Los Angeles as a live
time and then display that time as a textdraw at the top of the screen.
My gamemode is based in Los Angeles and that is why I need
a live clock with that timezone.

Thanks

I would do something like this

pawn Код:

stock GetTimeEx(timezone)
    return gettime() + timezone*3600;

This would show time in different timezone from the timezone where server is.
You could also get current hour from gettime function and add timezone to it.

Is it possible to gettime and then just add to the hour variable?

You can using GMT, but you need informations from player, where he live.

Problem is I need the whole server to be on the same timezone... which needs to be UTC-08:00.

Well GetTime() takes the time from the computer that the server is running on. If the server's computer is in -8, everyone will see the correct time. Otherwise, I would subtract or add however many hours necessary to meet the time of UTC -8 if you don't want to use the plugin mentioned above.
