Using Scratch to get system clock
Hi! everyone,
This is my first time to post at this forum. If I do something wrong please correct me, thanks!!
Here is my question: I couldn't find a good way to let scratch get the current system clock automaticlly. Is there any function or solution to solve this question? Thanks for everyone!

This appears to me to be an Advanced Topic, as the only way to get it is by editing the Scratch Source Code.
You can make the block by LS97 in the Block Library. It is the 3rd in that post.

No...unfortunately, there is no built-in function that will do this for you at the current time. As scimonster mentions, there are advanced techniques that you might want to explore, using community-modified versions of Scratch.

It shouldn't. 
I've tested it, and it has the tested icon...
