Anywhere in the OnTick() function - if you just want a basic script run this:

The TimeTradeServer function can also be usefull:

TimeTradeServer

Returns the calculated current time of the trade server.
Unlike TimeCurrent(), the calculation of the time value is performed in the client terminal and depends on the time settings on your computer.
