Hey all!

Just a quickie about timers.

Now, I can make and display a timer that shows how many seconds are left. Or count up. That's all fine.

How do I display these seconds as minutes though? And hours? Anyone know off the top of their head?

Cheers,

Math:

Hour=floor(game.Timer/3600)
Minute=floor((game.Timer%3600)/60)
Seconds=(game.Timer%60)

That hurts my head.

But thanks! I think. How would that appear in a rule, as in, how do you display it?

QS

CodeMonkey

Display Text: floor(game.Timer/3600)..":"..floor((game.Timer%3600)/60)..":"..(game.Timer%60)

or something like that

quantumsheep

AH! I think I get it! Thanks for all your help!

A VERY HAPPY QS!!!

quantumsheep

Aha! It ALMOST works! :P

When it gets down to single digits, no 0 is displayed.

For example, four minutes and six seconds should read:

4:06

Instead it reads:

4:6

BAH!

Anyone got a solution? I think displaying stuff like this would be useful to a lot of people.

Especially me!

Otherwise I'll just have to resort to displaying seconds. Which is a bit rubbish...

Cheers in advance,

You could try this Display Text:

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

In before CodeMonkey, who showed me that!

Any typos are mine... but provided there aren't any, that string should give you the time broken down digit-by-digit, so for example a time of one second should display as 0:00:01.

Oh you clever man! I'll give it a go now

Thank you both!

QS

Aha! Your version doesn't work, alas, Cobra.

On the plus side, that's the longest string I've ever put into a game, so a first there!

I need to sleep - been up all night and I'm making silly mistakes. So I'll try again in a few hours.

Thanks again for the input!

I see your equation Cobra, and raise you another one.

floor( self.myTime /3600)..":"..floor(floor(( self.myTime %3600)/60)/10)..floor((floor( self.myTime %3600)/60)%10)..":"..floor(( self.myTime %60)/10).. self.myTime %10

ktfright

???????????

I am so confused now (X_x)

quantumsheep

Heh - Codemonkey's last entry there works like a charm! Awesomeness!

(though I generally disapprove of Math, I'll let this one slide)



Cheers,
