How can we get the current time in Lua?

In Lua, you can use the os.date function to get the current time. Here is an example code:

local currentDateTime = os.date("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
print(currentDateTime)

This will print the current date and time in the format of “year-month-day hour:minute:second”. You can also customize the format of the date and time as needed. For more information on date and time formats, refer to the os.date section in the Lua official documentation: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#pdf-os.date
