Unix Time for Gamemaker Studio 2

Hi all guys, I post a simple script to get unix time and convert it to human time.
Automatically calculate the time zone.

Expand/// @func   get_unixtime()
/// @desc   Returns Unix timestamp.
function get_unixtime(){
    var timezone = date_get_timezone();
 
    date_set_timezone(timezone_utc);
    var epoch = floor(date_create_datetime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0));
    
    date_set_timezone(timezone);
    var datetime = date_current_datetime();
    
    var timestamp = floor(date_second_span(epoch, datetime));
 
    return timestamp;
}

/// @func   convert_unixtime(unix_timestamp)
/// @desc   Returns GameMaker datetime from Unix timestamp.
function convert_unixtime(timestamp){
    var timezone = date_get_timezone();
 
    date_set_timezone(timezone_utc);
    
    var epoch = date_create_datetime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, timestamp);
    var epH = date_get_hour(epoch);
    
    date_set_timezone(timezone);
    
    var cH = date_get_hour(date_current_datetime());
    
    var calcFuse = (cH - epH) * 3600;
    
    var datetime = date_create_datetime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, timestamp + calcFuse);
    return datetime;
}

Example:

Expandvar timestamp = get_unixtime();
draw_text(x,y,"Unix time: "+string(timestamp));

var datetime = convert_unixtime(timestamp);
draw_text(x,y+32,"Human time: "+string(date_datetime_string(datetime)));
