How to make time spent on game?

How to make time spent on game, like 1 hour and minutes? I’m quite confused.

My script:

--// Variables, Services and functions

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local TimeData = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("TimeData")

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local gameHours = 0

local gameMinutes = 0

local gameSeconds = 0

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	     local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	     leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	     leaderstats.Parent = player    
	
	     local playerName = Instance.new("StringValue")
	     playerName.Name = "Name"
	     playerName.Value =  player.Name
	     playerName.Parent = leaderstats

	     local Teir = Instance.new("StringValue")
	     Teir.Name = "Teir"
	     Teir.Value = "o"
	     Teir.Parent = leaderstats
	
         local timeSpent = Instance.new("StringValue")
	     timeSpent.Name = "Time"
	     timeSpent.Value = gameHours..":"..gameSeconds
	     timeSpent.Parent = leaderstats
	
	     local playerData
	     local sucess, err = pcall(function()
		   playerData = TimeData:GetAsync(player.UserId.." -Time")
		   
	end)
	
	     if sucess then
		   timeSpent.Value = playerData
	else
			warn("Error saving player data!")
	end
	
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	    
	    local success, err = pcall(function()
		   TimeData:GetAsync(player.UserIDd.." -Time",player.leaderstats.Time.Value)
	end)
	
	if success then
		   print("Data Saved!")
	else
			warn("Data not saved!")
	end
	
end)

      while true do wait(1)
		   gameSeconds = gameSeconds + 1
	       gameMinutes = gameSeconds * 60
	       gameHours = gameMinutes * 60
	        timeSpent.Value = gameHours..":"..gameSeconds
	end

My time value just prints 36000 and stuff like that, It’s my first time implementing this. Thanks in advance! :smiley:

I didn’t really read through the code, but here is how to save the time spent in a game.

--on a server script of course

local starttime = os.time() --player joins the game

local endtime = os.time() --player leaves game
local totaltime = endtime - starttime --total time in seconds 
--do data store stuff

Do I need to use while loop for that? Also, how about hours and minutes?

No loop is needed.

To get minutes, divide by 60, divide more as needed for other values

And for hours, divide minutes by 60?

Hate to say this but I don’t seem to understand. :frowning:

--// Variables, Services and functions

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")

local TimeData = DataStoreService:GetOrderedDataStore("TimeData")

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local gameHours = 0

local gameMinutes = 0

local gameSeconds = 0

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	     local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	     leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	     leaderstats.Parent = player    
	
	     local playerName = Instance.new("StringValue")
	     playerName.Name = "Name"
	     playerName.Value =  player.Name
	     playerName.Parent = leaderstats

	     local Teir = Instance.new("StringValue")
	     Teir.Name = "Teir"
	     Teir.Value = "o"
	     Teir.Parent = leaderstats
	
         local timeSpent = Instance.new("StringValue")
	     timeSpent.Name = "Time"
	     timeSpent.Value = gameHours..":"..gameSeconds
	     timeSpent.Parent = leaderstats
	
	     local startTime = os.time() 
	
	     local endTime = os.time()  
	
	     local Seconds = endTime - startTime
	     
	     local Minutes = endTime - startTime / 60

             ```

I just simply copied your script. :frowning:

Yes

seconds = 239834 --some number of seconds (for the example)
hours = seconds / 60 / 60

endtime will need to be set only when the player leaves the game

I have to go now, I will be back.
