    @3xl

    Floor rounds down, and ceil rounds up.

    Example:

    floor(0.004) = 0
    ceil(0.004) = 1

    No problem.

    Yeah the wiki reference page is gone. But someone was so kind enough to post this, so we can still get to it!

    "Floor rounds down, and ceil rounds up."

    Thanks for that John ! It's seemingly impossible to find information on even half of Gamesalad's functionality, without a shadow of a doubt it is the least documented piece of software I have ever come across (by a long margin), and I have used Photoshop 2!

    "so any help with how to get milliseconds to hours?"

    1 hour = 3,600,000 milliseconds.

    hours = floor(game.time/3600)

    So to say display it all in a display text it would be:

    floor( game.time /3600)..":"..floor(floor(( game.time %3600)/60)/10)..floor((floor( game.time %3600)/60)%10)..":"..floor(( game.time %60)/10).. game.time %10

    much love, all i had to do was change it to include )%10) at the end of your string so it would restart at 9 and go back to 0
