Next day (os.date) - FatMax - 21.03.2022
I need something to happen the next day retrieved from the os.date function.
How do I get the correct value in the easiest fashion, correcting for month change, etc.?
RE: Next day (os.date) - admin - 21.03.2022
You can simply add +1 to day number, convert to timestamp, then get a date from that timestamp. It handles year/month wrap-around automatically.
Code:
date = os.date('*t') -- current date (table)
date.day = date.day + 1 -- add 1 day
time = os.time(date) -- convert to timestamp
date = os.date('*t', time) -- tomorrow date (table) from timestamp
log(date)RE: Next day (os.date) - FatMax - 21.03.2022
This is brilliant.
Thank you so much!

Why not using ?:
Code:
date = os.date('*t', os.time() + 86400)
log(date)RE: Next day (os.date) - admin - 21.03.2022
There's a certain edge case when the time jumps backwards due to the daylight saving time change. But it looks like that date.day + 1 method is also affected by this.
