How do I convert seconds to hours, minutes, seconds and days, hours, minutes, seconds
Use some extremely simple math.
local seconds = 242
local mins = seconds/60
local hours = mins/60
local days = hours/24
And to reverse:
local days = 83
local hours = days*24
local mins = hours*60
local seconds = mins*60
Let “s” be seconds.
Minutes = 60*s
Hours = 60*60*s
Days = 24*60*60*s
Simply reverse the operations and divide if you’re going the other way around
But then it will display 242 seconds
242 was just an example, you don’t need that.
Ik but I am talking about using os.time and getting a bigger number that I later use to get the hrs mins and secs
Here, use this function.
local function toDHMS(s)
return ("%i:%02i:%02i:%02i"):format(s/60^2/24, s/60^2, s/60%60, s%60)
end
local seconds = 283
toDHMS(seconds)
local function SecondsToString(seconds)
local days = math.floor(seconds / 86400)
local hours = math.floor(seconds % 86400 / 3600)
local minutes = math.floor(seconds % 3600 / 60)
seconds = math.floor(seconds % 60)
return string.format("%d:%02d:%02d:%02d", days, hours, minutes, seconds)
end
How about seconds to HMS? Hours, minutes, seconds
For HMS:
local function toHMS(s)
return ("%02i:%02i:%02i"):format(s/60^2, s/60%60, s%60)
end
local seconds = 283
toHMS(seconds)
Use this instead:
local function toHMS(s)
return ("%02i:%02i:%02i"):format(s/60^2, s/60%60, s%60)
end
local seconds = 283
toHMS(seconds) — toDHMS -> toHMS
That’s the same thing… it’s the same exact script.
No, you said toDHMS() instead of toHMS(), and then changed it right when I corrected you
I must have edited right when you posted that
Probably so.

How would I add months years also where do u find all this info
A long time ago when I needed it I searched the DevForum and found that. It’s just some basic string manipulation that you can learn off the DevHub.
You can use os.date()
(you could actually use the for h:m:s
and d:h:m:s
aswell)
local curDateInSeconds = os.time()
local seconds = 35869214
local formatted = os.date("!%Y:%m:%H:%M:%S", (curDateInSeconds + seconds))
print(formatted) --2023:09:19:03:21
could i use string.format tho cause i use tick() as os.time doesnt work properly for some reason
They’re not the same thing. Format only allows you to insert variables into a string. You just need to keep dividing or multiplying depending on which direction you need to go.
