Can i somehow convert it into hours, minutes or even seconds, i tried date_get_minute and date_get_hour but it doesn't work, am i using wrong function or it's impossible?

Is it possible to Timestamp the chat? Seems like this could be used for something like that.

Forgeio is correct. You'll need to either somehow draw it next to the chat or draw your own chat.

You can also try to directly modify the data structure that's used for the chat (global.__chattext, global.__chattime, global.__chatsender) - but I can't guarantee that will continue to work in future versions.

you would need to use the draw event and draw the time next to the chat somehow.
