Put the long script in a serverscript, it will create the folders in the player for you when the game starts.
Thats all you need to do.
To add it to a GUI just do what I said before in a localscript that is in the GUI’s text label.

Don’t make separate values. Just make a seconds value and use @SomeFedoraGuy’s method.

This is the code for the localscript inside of the TextLabel:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local totalTime = player.Time.TotalTime
local textLabel = script.Parent

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local counter = 0
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(step)
	counter = counter + step
	if counter >= 1 then
		counter = counter - 1
		textLabel.Text = totalTime.Value
	end
end)

To reset it when the player dies just reset all the values to nil

Can you look at my local script at the very top of the thread? I kinda wanted to keep the milliseconds and stuff but I just wanted my timer to display as “1.00.00” for example and not “60.00”

sorry I was using minutes and seconds. mb about the 60.00, I set it to > 60 not > 59
edit: replace all the 60s with 59

#28

I don’t know how to write it out brother. I don’t know where any of that goes. I don’t know if I should delete that whole script for it or just add it in somewhere. I’m new to scripting and deving in general. I wish there was an in-depth video tutorial on how to do this so yall wouldn’t have to waste your time helping me but unfortunately nothing’s rang a bell for me yet.

#29

so replace every 60 in sight with a 59 correct? even the one with the percentage after em

All you need is a serverscript with this:

local players = game:GetService("Players")

players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	local timeFolder = Instance.new("Folder")
	timeFolder.Name = "Time"
	timeFolder.Parent = player

	local seconds = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	seconds.Name = "Seconds"
	seconds.Value = 0
	seconds.Parent = timeFolder

	local minutes = Instance.new("NumberValue")
	minutes.Name = "Minutes"
	minutes.Value = 0
	minutes.Parent = timeFolder
	
	local totalTime = Instance.new("StringValue")
	totalTime.Name = "TotalTime"
	totalTime.Value = 0
	totalTime.Parent = timeFolder
end)

local function convert(Seconds)
	local function format(Int)
		return string.format("%02i",Int)
	end
	local Minutes = (Seconds - Seconds%59)/59
	Seconds = Seconds - Minutes*59
	local Hours = (Minutes - Minutes%59)/59
	Minutes = Minutes - Hours*59

	return string.format("%s : %s : %s",format(Hours),format(Minutes),format(Seconds)) 
end

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local counter = 0
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(step)
	counter = counter + step
	if counter >= 1 then
		counter = counter - 1
		for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
			local seconds = v.Time.Seconds
			seconds.Value += 1
			local timePlayed = convert(seconds.Value)
			print(v.Name.. " Has Played For, ".. timePlayed)
			v.Time.TotalTime.Value = timePlayed
		end
	end
end)

and a screen gui, with a frame, with a text label, that has a local script with this:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local totalTime = player.Time.TotalTime
local textLabel = script.Parent

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local counter = 0
RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(step)
	counter = counter + step
	if counter >= 1 then
		counter = counter - 1
		textLabel.Text = totalTime.Value
	end
end)

So I never needed that long script I typed out at the beginning of the thread this whole time?

No, all you need is my 2 scripts that I sent above

#33

Also since it says “timeFolder” where do I need to add a folder? Do I add it in the workspace and if so what do I put in the folder?

#34

The script will add the folder for you. There is no need to add it in yourself.

#35

Alright Im testing the game! Gimme one sec

Its been and hour and a half, so Im going to head out now. I might see if I can polish my script a bit more and post it in #resources:community-resources.

I just saw @SilentMutiny’s post, maybe use that instead as it uses milliseconds.

Hey it said your script had a few errors but I fixed it! I gotta find out where to add my start and end blocks though so they can stop and start the timer. Then ima test the script
