[HELP] Converting seconds to minutes : seconds

[..:D&G:..]

Hello guys, is there any way to calculate seconds into minutes and seconds?

I store the player's play time as seconds such as 100 seconds, but I need to make a text gui which says "You have been alive for 12 minutes and 30 seconds"...

So, how should I do this?

Thanks.

You can use the "modulo" operator (%) like this:

local total_time_in_seconds = 119 
local seconds = total_time_in_seconds % 60   -- returns time in seconds: 59 
local minutes = math.floor(total_time_in_seconds/60)   -- returns time in minutes: 1 
local formatted_str = minutes..":"..seconds 

This means: formatted_str = "1:59" as in minutes:seconds

Thanks a lot!
