Is this possible?

Hey guys, I was thinking about this plugin, where it is a continous sign change event, that it'll detect the placer's computer's date, and the sign will say that today is Monday or Tuesday, etc. Is this even possible? I'm thinking that after 1728000 ticks (24 hours) the sign will change to 'Friday' or whatever the day is. Thanks.

 

why not ?
My signs have actual date with refresh every second

 

Nope, getting the clients date and putting it on a sign for only them to see is no n

 

It'd require a client mod for signs specifically, unless you maybe did something hacky with sending block changes to players (wildly inefficient).

 

hm... alright, thanks guys!

 

Seeing how most computer have accurate date and time set on them, using the server's date should work for the most part. You can also try tracing their IP to get their timezone, then use that for getting their date and time.

 

Get the players ip, trace it's city, get the city time and date.

 

I believe it's player.sendSignChange(loc, lines), where loc is a Location and lines is a String[].
