Get real clock time

Legacy UDK Programming and UnrealScript
1

So for my brand new solid save system for UDK GOTA i want to add that the list of save games displays the realclocktime(time) on where you saved the game any idea?

In any object, you can call GetSystemTime(). That should get you everything you need.

here is the clock script from teg’s playground.
it works multiplayer and displays local time on a scripted texture
take from it what you will
