How can I get the Currenttime in Milliseconds in EA

[Yfi]

Hi team, 

The current Currentime() function is getting the time but in seconds not in milliseconds, can anyone help me if I want to get the current time in milliseconds using EA. 

Thanks

You can't.

Here, this library shows you how to do it.

Edit:

But, be aware TimeCurrent () is a server based time, so you might need to sync this regularly. Depending on your needs, of course.

This function returns the milliseconds since the terminal has been launched.

GetMicrosecondCount gives the microseconds since start of the program (EA/Script/Indicator/Service)

EDIT:

I think this information is wrong. Correct is:

GetTickCount64() returns the milliseconds since the system was started.

GetMicrosecondCount() returns the microseconds since the Terminal was started.

How useful can it be to know how many milliseconds passed since 1970.01.01?

There is no way to get the real milliseconds either for local or for server time.

This code is only simulating it. If you need relative time, it could be fine, if you need absolute time it's not accurate.

I know bro! For that purpose you do not need it from 1970.01.01
