question about (getSoundLength)

[Castillo]

hey, i'm creating a sound player with the new 1.1 functions (so this way when its released i can use it ) and i would like to add the time played of sound and total time like: 1:45 but my problem is, how i can make this function (getSoundLength) return like this? is even possible?

Thanks in advance.

Why would you want to add the time played of sound to the total time?

Like the song lasts 2 minutes, and when you've heard 1 minute, it says 3 minutes remaining?

Or do you want to subtract?

i want time data into a GUI label element.

You basically want to convert milliseconds to minutes, isn't it?

Try diz:

  
function msToMinutes ( ms ) -- Returns ( minutes, seconds ) 
    local sec = ms/1000 -- Converts all MS to seconds 
    local min = 0 -- We have no minutes counted yet 
    if sec < 60 then -- if we have at least one minute 
        repeat sec = sec-60 -- Start counting minutes 
            min = min + 1 -- So add a minute 
        until sec < 60 -- If there are no minutes left 
    end 
    return min, sec -- We are done, and return the minutes and seconds 
end 
  

I haven't tested it, but this should work.

function msToMinsAndSecs(milliseconds) 
    local minutes = math.floor(milliseconds/60000) 
    local seconds = (milliseconds/1000)%60 
    return minutes,seconds 
end 

[botanist]

function msToMinutes ( ms ) 
    local m = math.floor ( ms/60000 ) 
    local s = math.floor( (ms/1000)%60 ) -- Will return round integers, instead of big long floats. 
    return m, s 
end 

Edit of Dragons version. Tested & Working. My other function doesn't work. Use this one

thank you both, its working
