hours, minutes, seconds

Hej

Lets pretend I got a number like 2000(seconds)

I want the number be like: hh:mm:ss

Anyone an idea?

What exactly do you think

60 sec = 1 min

that means 2000 sec = 33 minutes

divide 60 ÷ 2000 anyway

hh:mm:ss

00:33:333333333333333333333333333333

I'm not very good at maths and not very familiar with string.format but this should work:

function msToStr( ms ) 
    if( ms ) then 
        return string.format( '%02d:%02d:%02d', ( tonumber( ms ) / ( 1000 * 60 * 60 ) ) % 60, ( tonumber( ms ) / ( 1000 * 60 ) ) % 60, ( tonumber( ms ) / 1000 ) % 60 ); 
    end 
    return false; 
end 

Example:

msToStr( 2000 );

function convertTime ( ms ) 
    if ( ms and type ( ms ) == "number" ) then 
        local mins = math.floor ( ms / 60000 ) 
        local hours = math.floor ( mins / 60 ) 
        local secs = math.floor ( ( ms / 1000 ) % 60 ) 
        return string.format ( "%s:%s:%s", hours, ( mins - hours * 60 ), secs ) 
    end 
end

You're welcome.

You can use getRealTime. "timestamp" returns the UNIX timestamp, and you can use getRealTime(timestamp) to get the details of the timestamp (seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, etc).

My bad, I wrote '%d02' instead of '%02d'. I tested it with this correction, it works perfectly.

print( msToStr( 2000 ) ); 
  
--Output: 00:00:02
