Unbiased Time Manager for Unity3D

Unbiased Time Manager

Unbiased Time Manager combines Unity3D's Time.unscaledTime and NTP server times to report more reliable device independent Times. It returns time with ulong format in miliseconds unit.

How to use ?

It is pretty straight forward but before getting time from it. It needs to be initialized. To do that, call.

UnbiasedTime.Init();

If everything is ok. Depending on your connection speed. It will be ready in miliseconds. Now you can get it with.

UnbiasedTime.Instance.time;

It will return a ulong value in millisecond format. If you want it in more readable format you can have DateTime with calling.

UnbiasedTime.Instance.dateTime;

By default the manager updates time from server in every 64 seconds and everytime on application focused. But if you want to do it manually just call.

UnbiasedTime.Instance.Initialize();

You can subscribe onTimeReceive event to get notified when time updated

 private void Start()
{
    UnbiasedTime.Instance.onTimeReceive += OnTimeReceive;
}

private void OnTimeReceive(bool isSucceed, ulong time)
{
    if (isSucceed)
    {
        Debug.Log(time);
        Debug.Log(UnbiasedTime.GetDateTime(time));
    }
    else
    {
        //No reliable time 
    }
}
