This site has a very good search engine. After searching, here is a result that has an example for you in the code https://usethinkscript.com/threads/opening-range-breakout-indicator-for-thinkorswim.16/post-75429 . Just change the following to your requested time and label it how you want in place of "Open"

AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(0930)==0,"Open",Color.Gray,Curve.SHORT_DASH);

Hi,

I have searched but have not found an easy way to add vertical time lines or how to manipulate time (display 00:00 format) and decimal points. I want to add a vertical line and mark it at 10:45. Would want 10:45 to be an input so I can select different times when studying a chart.

When trying to convert 10:45 to 10.75 hours, I can not truncate the .75 minutes and have to resort to the round() function, which may not be correct because the 10.75 can round up to 11. A different thread suggested to try AsText(Round(time, 0)), but I get "expected double" error. My codes are below but if someone has a better function to manipulate/calculate time, please let me know. Or if there is already a similar code or better algorithm, kindly point me in the right direction.

Code: 
declare lower;
declare hide_on_daily;

#def period = aggregationPeriod.dAY;
def startTime = 0930;
input studyTime1 = 1045;

#AddVerticalLine(!period and SecondsFromTime(time)==0*60*60,"6:30",Color.LIME,Curve.SHORT_DASH);
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 0*60*60,  "  9:30", Color.LIME, Curve.POINTS);       #hint: 6:30 PST
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 0.5*60*60,  "  10", Color.LIGHT_GRAY, Curve.POINTS); #hint: 7:00 PST
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 1.5*60*60,  "  11", Color.LIGHT_GRAY, Curve.POINTS); #hint: 8:00 PST
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 2.5*60*60, "Lunch", Color.CYAN, Curve.POINTS);       #hint: 9:00 PST
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 3.5*60*60,   "  1", Color.LIGHT_GRAY, Curve.POINTS); #hint: 10:00 PST
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 4.5*60*60,   "  2", Color.LIGHT_GRAY, Curve.POINTS); #hint: 11:00 PST
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 5.5*60*60,   "  3", Color.LIGHT_GRAY, Curve.POINTS); #hint: 12:00 PST
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 6.5*60*60,   "  4", Color.ORANGE, Curve.POINTS);     #hint: 13:00 PST

# Convert military time hour to minute
def calcStartTime = (Round(startTime,-2)/100 + (startTime - Round(startTime,-2))/60)*60;
def calcStudyTime1 = (Round(studyTime1,-2)/100 + (studyTime1 - Round(studyTime1,-2))/60);

#def calcStudyMilitaryTime = AsText(Round(calcStudyTime1, 0)); #AsText(Round(price, 0))

#AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 1*60*60,   "          " + calcStartTime + "    " + calcStudyMarineTime, Color.YELLOW, Curve.FIRM);
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 1.25*60*60,   "          " + calcStudyTime1, Color.YELLOW, Curve.FIRM);

@SleepyZ unfortunately this is not the solution i'm looking for.

I'm looking for a user input time 10:45, and the script would then auto plot a vertical line along with the label 10:45 added. I don't want to manually calculate and manually change inside my script. It would be faster to use ToS and draw a vertical line :)

I think the hard part about this "unrewarding" script is manipulating the math part using thinkScript, which has limited functions that I can use to truncate decimal points and only keep the ones digit (something like def time = 10.75; truncate(time, 2). Looking to get an output = 10). I'll keep looking and hope someone with an answer and kind enough to give me a hint :)

This will allow you to input time as 1045 and have the label output in the vertical line be 10:45 and plot the line at that time each day.

Ruby: 
input time  = 1045;
def hour    = Round(time / 100, 0);
def minutes = ((time / 100) - hour) * 100;
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(time) == 0, "           " + hour + ":" + minutes, Color.WHITE, stroke = Curve.FIRM);

Awesome @SleepyZ ! I spent 2 dayS trying to come up with this (math and logic) and you probably spent a few minutes with just 4 lines of code :) respect!

When I input 1055, which the codes round up and becomes round(10.55, 0) = 11:45. So i used rounddown and that fixed the issue.

Also, I'm trying a new way to do this by selecting from a pre-calculated time list instead, but i dont know how to code/link the "Time935" variable to the "AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 300, " 9:35" , Color.YELLOW, Curve.FIRM)"; line of code.

Link this:
Code: 
def Time935 = 9.583; #hint this is 9:35am
to this:
Code: 
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 300, "  9:35" , Color.YELLOW, Curve.FIRM);

Please see the updated codes below:
Code: 
declare lower;
declare hide_on_daily;

def startTime = 0930;

# Time selection
def Time935 = 9.583; #hint this is 9:35am
def Time940 = 9.667;
def Time945 = 9.75;

input timeOptions = {default "None", "T935", "T940"};

def timeSlots = (
        if timeOptions == timeOptions.T935 then Time935
   else if timeOptions == timeOptions.T940 then Time940
   else Time945
);

AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 300, "  9:35" , Color.YELLOW, Curve.FIRM);
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 600, "  9:40" , Color.YELLOW, Curve.FIRM);
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(startTime) == 900, "  9:45" , Color.YELLOW, Curve.FIRM);

input time  = 1055;
def hour    = Round(time / 100, 0);
def minutes = ((time / 100) - hour) * 100;
AddVerticalLine(SecondsFromTime(time) == 0, "           " + hour + ":" + minutes, Color.YELLOW, stroke = Curve.FIRM);

ok, i got things to work. Here is the complete script to add vertical lines from 2 ways: user input (PST) or select from a pull down (EST). Big thanks to @SleepyZ for the inspiration!

i need a script that plots a vertical line at open . . . . and also one at the beginning of pre-market
but i need it to work on a 180d 30m chart, and ONLY plot the line for the Current day

I can only get it to plot vertical lines for every day . . .

thanks in advance

This will plot vertical lines at the times input for the start of premarket for stocks and regular trading hours. You will need to adjust these for other non-stock symbols.

If the time does not exist on the chart, the next bar will have a vertical line.

There is an option to show the lines for only the current day.

[Edit: fix missing timeframe added]

Can someone help expand this code and add two times together for eg above time 1 = 0400 and I wanted to add 111 minutes to that create a new time 3. it is a formula I am trying to create so it is not easy as adding 111 min to 0400 and create a new time.. 111 min will change based on formula so if someone has code how to add time + my formula time = new time .. thanks in advance

In the example below, t2 is the new derived time from the input time1 (0930) plus the input minutes (111) equalling (1121). This should work on a 1 minute chart.
Screenshot 2023-08-01 073622.jpg
Code: 
#Add_Minutes_to_Gettime
input time1 = 0930;
input minutes_added = 111;
def t1 = if SecondsFromTime(time1) == 0 then GetTime() else t1[1];
def t2 = if SecondsFromTime(time1) == 0 then GetTime() + minutes_added * 60000 else t2[1];
plot t2_ = if GetTime() == t2 then 1 else Double.NaN;
t2_.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.BOOLEAN_ARROW_DOWN);
t2_.setlineWeight(5);

input test = yes;
AddLabel(test, t1 + " " + t2, Color.YELLOW);
addverticalLine(test and t2_, "");

@SleepyZ

Using the same script, is it possible to create vertical lines plot for different days of the week
Eg
Mon 1045 and 1105
Tues 1100
Wed 1115 and 1130
Thur 1035
Fri 1045

Thank you

Is there a way to make vertical lines from a point that you set and then set an ongoing time to create vertical lines from that start point? LIke this example... lets say I want a start point at 0400 and have it make a line every 23 minutes for the rest of the day till close? The bearish example would be if I set up another script for the bearish start time say 0421 and intervals of 18 minutes... THANKS ! And one would have to change these start times and intervals every day. It's for an intraday strategy.

The vertical line function does not provide an adjustment to the width.
However, a work around using the undocumented addchart() function may help.
Here is an example where the vertical line is drawn around the candle at the input time, exposing the referenced candle.
The height of the line is adjustable at the input height.

Code: 
input time1 = 0935;
input height = 2.5;
def c   = close;
def o   = open;
def x1w = SecondsFromTime(time1) == 0 and c[1];
def h1w = if x1w == 1 then high + height else Double.NaN;
def l1w = if x1w == 1 then low - height else Double.NaN;
AddChart(h1w, l1w, l1w, h1w, ChartType.candle, Color.WHITE);

To have a solid line, which hides the candle, the following addchart() portion of the above is
