Use math.floor for all numbers. Also, please note that tostring is unnecessary here.

I don’t think this is how I want it.

I want it counting down from 6 hours

Try this function:

function toHMS(seconds)
    return string.format("%02i:%02i:%02i", seconds/60^2, seconds/60%60, seconds%60)
end
local time = toHMS(600)

What’s happening is you’re taking 6 (Hours) and dividing it into 60, and then dividing it by 60 again. This is why you’re getting those crazy decimals.

You’ll need to write a function that deconstructs the time into its components:
1) Divide the time by 3600 to get how many hours are left.
2) If step 1 results in a number that contains a decimal, multiply that decimal by 60 to get the minutes left in that hour.
3) If step 2 results in a number that contains a decimal, multiply that decimal by 60 to get the seconds left in that hour.
4) Math.floor these variables after doing the calculations so the numbers are nice and whole.
5) Profit???
