Returns the client's running game clock, in whole seconds.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
seconds = GetGameTime()<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== Arguments ==<br />
None.<br />
<br />
== Returns ==<br />
;seconds : <code>number</code> – Whole seconds on the client's game clock.<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
* The value is read from the client's high-resolution frame timer, which counts from a fixed point set by the client, and is cut to whole seconds. It is not a date or a time of day; use it to measure intervals.<br />
* Several data tables give times as game-clock values. The stock UI subtracts <code>GetGameTime()</code> from them to get the seconds remaining (see the example).<br />
* Arguments are not checked; anything passed is ignored.<br />
<br />
== Errors ==<br />
None.<br />
<br />
== Example ==<br />
From <code>easystem_utils/source/datautils.lua</code>:<br />
<pre><br />
function DataUtils.GetPQTimerRemaining( timerState, timerValue )<br />
if ( timerState == GameData.PQTimerState.RUNNING )<br />
then<br />
-- In this case, timerValue is the game time at which the timer expires<br />
local timeLeft = timerValue - GetGameTime()<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
From <code>easystem_tooltips/source/itemtooltips.lua</code>:<br />
<pre><br />
currentTimeLeftBeforeDecay = currentTimeLeftBeforeDecay + itemData.timestamp - GetGameTime()<br />
</pre><br />
