This topic is kinda flipped on it’s head from what it usually asks, but i’m asking to convert an hour and minute (like 8:48) into a unix timestamp. I dont think it matters what day it ends up recieving, as long as the hour and minute is accurate.
e.g. 7:46 → 1669103225000
Sorry misread the thread. Will come with a reply in a min.
Edit: Can you please specify for what purpose? 
Another edit: found this formula. It’s for Excell but the formula should still work.
In basic it’s (CurrentDate - DateDelta)*86400
The issue is that a Unix timestamp is the amount of seconds since Jan. 1, 1970. This means the date is built into it.
You can convert 7:46 to a timestamp on the day you collect that time from and disregard the date information if you want, but doing it that way seems a little strange.
As @TortenSkjold said, why do you want to do this?
If “7:46” is a string, you can use string.split() using : as the splitter. This will provide you with 2 arguments: the hours (7) and the minute (46). After that, you can easily convert 7 into 7*3600 (7 hours in seconds) and 46 into 46*60 (46 minutes into seconds). I haven’t tried it yet so if you can’t seem to make it work, I could give it a try.
This works exactly how i wanted it, thanks!
