As probably most of you may know making a live event requires using the os.time thingy which uses the Unix Epoch time basically i want to convert that giant number of seconds from the Unix Epoch into days,hours,minutes and seconds how would i do that?

#2

You could use time:ToUniversalTime()

Ive never used that function could you explain further on how i would use it?

My reply on another topic may be helpful:

Although instead of workspace.DistributedGameTime you should use event_date_in_seconds-os.time() and if seconds becomes a negative value, the event has started.

I have a question about what this function does im not that advanced in scripting im still learning so yeah.

function f(text)
return string.format("%02i", text)
end

What does it do?

#6

It formats the text to keep zeros, for example 0 seconds become 00 and 5 become 05.
