Hey!
I wonder if anyone in here managed to create a system that calculates tick() to full Hour:Minutes:Seconds in GMT-Time zone.
I couldn’t find any open resource scripts

The GMT timezone doesn’t have any time dfference between UTC. You can decide the current time by doing the math with the timestamp.
not sure about tick(), but you can use the following:
local gmtTime = os.date("!*t", os.time())
print("Time: " .. gmtTime.hour .. ":" .. gmtTime.min.. ":" .. gmtTime.sec)
os.date is explained on roblox’s website here
without any arguments, it returns the current date and time
you can see what the table contains in the link i sent you.
first parameter "!*t"
gets the time in utc / gmt (theyre the same time) as a table
you can see what the table contains in the link i sent you.
second parameter is the time (in seconds). os.time()
is the default time so technically we don’t need it there
if you wanted a different time zone: eg two hours ahead you’d make it
local myTime= os.date("!*t", os.time() + (3600 * 2))
Here’s my way of converting seconds into DHMS (and if the seconds don’t accumulate to an entire day, it returns HMS - if the seconds don’t accumulate to an entire hour, it returns MS, etc.):
function module:ConvertSecondsToDHMS(Seconds)
local DHMS = ""
if Seconds >= 86400 then
DHMS = string.format("%02i:%02i:%02i:%02i", (Seconds / (24 * 3600)), ((Seconds % (24 * 3600)) / 3600), (Seconds / 60 % 60), (Seconds % 60))
elseif Seconds >= 3600 then
DHMS = string.format("%02i:%02i:%02i", (Seconds / 60 ^ 2), (Seconds / 60 % 60), (Seconds % 60))
elseif Seconds >= 60 then
DHMS = string.format("%02i:%02i", (Seconds / 60 % 60), (Seconds % 60))
else
DHMS = string.format("%02i", (Seconds % 60)) .." second".. (((Seconds % 60) == 0 or (Seconds % 60) > 1) and "s" or "")
end
if string.sub(DHMS, 1, 1) == "0" then
DHMS = string.sub(DHMS, 2)
end
return DHMS
end
But like I said, this returns converted seconds. I’m sure you can mess around with the code to make it work with milliseconds.
