Convert my number to minutes:seconds:milliseconds

Hey! I’m looking for a simple way to convert a number into minutes:seconds:milliseconds

My numbers look like this:

Thanks!

I made something for this in the past, but it doesn’t support ms.

What’s your use case for this if you mind me asking?

Simple script, returns a tuple of the minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.

function secsToTime(timeInput)
	local minutes = math.floor(timeInput / 60)
	local secs = math.floor(timeInput%60)
	local miliseconds = timeInput-math.floor(timeInput)
	miliseconds = math.round(miliseconds*1000)
	return minutes, secs, miliseconds
end
-- example
local mins, secs, ms = secsToTime(60.120)

This sounds odd, but I’m trying to format time for a timestamp:

Or here is another version, formated exactly like how you wanted, example 5:21:931

function secsToTime(timeInput)
	local minutes = math.floor(timeInput / 60)
	local secs = math.floor(timeInput%60)
	local miliseconds = timeInput-math.floor(timeInput)
	miliseconds = math.round(miliseconds*1000)
	return minutes..":"..secs..":"..miliseconds
end

This works perfectly, thank you!

I formated it like this

string.format("%02i:%02i:%02i", minutes, secs, miliseconds)

k nice, i just don’t really understand the format string block, only code i don’t get. it could be i spent like 5 mins studying it but what ever

#8

apologies for necroposting, but is there a way to put a 0 within the milliseconds if it hasn’t reached 100 yet? I want to try making a speedrun timer but that little detail kind of bumps the text every second.

#9

i think you can just change the milisecond format to %03i

#10

Wow, that was quick. That actually worked pretty well, thanks!

#11

yeah, i just thought that since the original format shows 2 zeros which I assume is represented by the 2 in %02i (the i means integer)

Use this script function ConvertToTime(Number : number)
if tonumber(Number) then

	local Time = {
		['Second'] = 0,
		['Minutes'] = 0,
		['Hours'] = 0,
		['Days'] = 0,
		['Week'] = 0,
		['Month'] = 0,
		['Years'] = 0,
	}
	if Number >= 60 then
		repeat 
			Time.Minutes += 1
			Number -= 60
			wait()
		until Number < 60
		Time.Second = Number
		if Time.Minutes >= 60 then
			Number = Time.Minutes
			repeat 
				Time.Hours += 1
				Number -= 60
				wait()
			until Number < 60
			Time.Minutes = Number
			if Time.Hours >= 24 then
				Number = Time.Hours
				repeat 
					Time.Days += 1
					Number -= 24
					wait()
				until Number < 24
				Time.Hours = Number
				if Time.Days >= 7 then
					Number = Time.Days
					repeat 
						Time.Week += 1
						Number -= 7
						wait()
					until Number < 7
					Time.Days = Number
					if Time.Week >= 4 then
						Number = Time.Week
						repeat 
							Time.Month += 1
							Number -= 4
							wait()
						until Number < 4
						Time.Week = Number
						if Time.Month >= 12 then
							Number = Time.Month
							repeat 
								Time.Years += 1
								Number -= 12
								wait()
							until Number < 12
							Time.Month = Number

						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
	return {
		['Time'] = Time,
		['Convert'] = function(Time)
			local Clock = tostring(Time.Years.." Years : "..Time.Month.." Month : "..Time.Week.." Week : "..Time.Days.." Days : "..Time.Hours.." Hours : "..Time.Minutes.." Minutes : "..Time.Second.." Second")
			return Clock
		end,
	}
end

end
local Time = ConvertToTime(500)
print(Time.Convert(Time.Time))
