Title: Convert Seconds To String - total minutes
Post by: ken168 on November 03, 2024, 10:12:59 PM

Hello everyone:

I found a problem when using Convert Seconds To String:

Seconds = 3700 = 01:01:40:00
({1:D2}:{2:D2}:{3:D2}:{10})

But what I really want to display is the format
61:40:00
(total minutes)

So I use {7:F0}:{3:D2}:{10}
But it shows 62:40:00

Seconds = 3700 = 61.66 =62
It will be rounded to 62

But this is not the result I want

Please tell me how I should set it up to display the results I want.

Thanks

Hi,

yep, this is unfortunatly an issue indeed.

First option: use the ecosystem action "GetTimeSpanInfo", feed it seconds, and you get the total minutes as a float which you can then round to in, which gives you 61

Second option, I make a copy of the playmaker action on the ecosystem and add new entries that will give you the roundeddown version of these values.

Let me know if the second option suits you better, and I upload that action.

Bye,

Jean

Hello:
Thank you for your reply.
I want to use this function to record the time passed through the game.

Later, my method was to handle the minutes and seconds separately.
Then merge them into strings.

Thank you very much.

Hi,

 use the getTimeSpanInfo action, this will do. Have you tried it?

Bye,

Jean
