hi everyone

i writing jail system , but i have questions!

what is the best method to show the jail time to client with dxDrawText?

jail time is saved in mysql database.

Use getTime or getRealTime to store the time of the jail start and use it to see how much time have he spent in jail.

no , i want it to be seconds.

that's why I use setTimer

what is the best method to sync server and client jail time.

[Tekken]

setElementData(player, "jailtime", 10*1000)

set jailtime for 10 secondes; 

element data is synced between client and server

Get real time uses seconds.

------------
-- server --

local timestamp = getRealTime().timestamp -- seconds

local jailDuration =  (60 * 4) -- seconds
local jailEndTime = timestamp + jailDuration

--

local remainingJailTime = jailEndTime - timestamp
triggerClientEvent(player, "sync-jail-time", player, remainingJailTime ) -- the client only has to know this once

------------
-- client --

local jailEndTime
addEvent("sync-jail-time", true)
addEventHandler("sync-jail-time", localPlayer, 
function (remainingJailTime) 
	jailEndTime = (remainingJailTime * 1000) + getTickCount() -- convert to miliseconds, to make it more accurate (as the machine times are not aligned by seconds)
end, false)


function getRemainingJailTime ()
	if jailEndTime then
		local timeNow = getTickCount()
		return math.ceil(math.max(jailEndTime - timeNow, 0) / 1000) -- seconds
	end
	return 0
end
