Convert seconds to MM:SS:MI

[DooMAGE]

Hello guys!

 

I am working on a hud stopwatch timer thing for my game, but looks like I can't use os.date("%X",0) from Lua since I guess you can't upload games with sandbox Lua off to the game launcher :/

 

Having a little trouble to format my Time:GetSpeed()/100 to something like MM:SS:MI

 

Thanks in advance

Time:GetCurrent() is in MS. I'd do it something like below. StartTime would need to be initialized to whatever time the timer starts with Time:GetCurrent()

 

local MS = Time:GetCurrent() - StartTime

local Minutes = math.floor(MS  / 60000)
MS = MS - Minutes * 60000

local Seconds = math.floor(MS / 1000)
MS = MS - Seconds * 1000

local TimeStamp = Minutes..":"..Seconds..":"..MS

Thanks thehankinator, now I can show the timer on the screen

But I am having a hard time to reset the stopwatch.

 

Tried force MS = 0 using a If, but when the if is no more true the timer resumes and keeps going up.

 

Maybe I need some beer

Beer helps but to to reset the timer just reinitialize StartTime with Time:GetCurrent()
