Fomatting seconds

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Right now, my goal is to achieve a contract system.

  • This “contract system” is time-based, if the time expires it will reset and randomize.

But here comes our first issue!

local ttime = result - os.time() 
local res = os.date("%H hours %M minutes", ttime)
print(res)
print(ttime)

This is the code I use for formatting time to contract reset.
It is working!
But pretty innaccurate!

In output I get:

  • Formatted time 00 hours 57 minutes
  • Seconds I formatted 53867

You may not get it, but in fact:

Any alternatives to os.date?
Any ways to fix the issue?
Have I missunderstood os.date?
