How to decrease hour:min:second formated string

[Dev_Peashie]

Try this, is using basic functions to format and “unformat” the text to number seconds and string format, but it works, you can change the format/unformat functions as you like:

I disabled the line using the Module, just for debugging, and using a hardcoded 30 seconds. Seems working for me

local function format_time(seconds)
	local hours = math.floor(seconds / 3600)
	local minutes = math.floor((seconds % 3600) / 60)
	local seconds = math.floor(seconds % 60)
	return string.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", hours, minutes, seconds)
end

local function unFormat_time(time_str)
	local hours, minutes, seconds = time_str:match("(%d+):(%d+):(%d+)")
	hours = tonumber(hours)
	minutes = tonumber(minutes)
	seconds = tonumber(seconds)
	return hours * 3600 + minutes * 60 + seconds
end


local function TickTime(v)
	--v.Text = format_time(DailyRewardsModule[v.Name]["ClaimTime"])
	v.Text = format_time(30) -- for testing
	print("welp")
	while unFormat_time(v.Text) > 1 do
		if unFormat_time(v.Text) > 60 then
			-- do something when the seconds to wait is greater to 60?
		else
			-- Decrease time with format
			v.Text = format_time(unFormat_time(v.Text) - 1)
		end
		task.wait(1)
	end
	if unFormat_time(v.Text) == 1 then
		print("timeReached0")
		v.Text = "Redeem"
		--return
	end
end


for i , v in pairs(Frame:GetDescendants()) do
	warn(i,v)
	if v:IsA("TextLabel")  then
		warn("label")
		coroutine.wrap(TickTime)(v)
	end
end

Thanks!!!
The reason I used

@Dev_Peashie

if unFormat_time(v.Text) > 60 then
			-- do something when the seconds to wait is greater to 60?
		else
			-- Decrease time with format
			v.Text = format_time(unFormat_time(v.Text) - 1)
		end

was just to show the code works fine except using format
and it works perfectly Thanks!
btw I was using the reward test studio you created so if you want to check yourself You can see!
