possible ? convert seconds to minutes ? - Rocky Balboa - 22.11.2010

is there a function , to turn seconds into minutes and seconds ? lik if you have 321 seconds, to turn them into ,
5.35 , 5 minutes ad 35 seconds .. so can anyone tell me how to start it off? just head me to the right direction ..

Let's do some math, shall we?

How many seconds in a minute? 60

How many seconds in 5 minutes and 30 seconds? Well... 5*60 = 300 + 30 = 330.

So now you can instead use 330 seconds, rather then needing to to make a bunch of pointless code.

pawn Code:
TimeConvert(time) {
    new minutes;
    new seconds;
    new string[128];
    if(time > 59){
        minutes = floatround(time/60);
        seconds = floatround(time - minutes*60);
        if(seconds>9)format(string,sizeof(string),"%d:%d",minutes,seconds);
        else format(string,sizeof(string),"%d:0%d",minutes,seconds);
    }
    else{
        seconds = floatround(time);
        if(seconds>9)format(string,sizeof(string),"0:%d",seconds);
        else format(string,sizeof(string),"0:0%d",seconds);
    }
    return string;
}
example
pawn Code:
format(string, sizeof(string), "~w~Jail Time:~g~~h~%s", TimeConvert(PlayerInfo[i][PrisonTime]));
                TextDrawSetString(JailTimeText[i],string);

Well, i know, but i want the players to see the mins and hte seconds instead of looking at some seconds.. for going out of jail...

Re: possible ? convert seconds to minutes ? - Scenario - 22.11.2010

Did you mean so when you output a string instead of seconds, you will get the actual value?

Re: possible ? convert seconds to minutes ? - The_Gangstas - 22.11.2010

i already posted it..

Re: possible ? convert seconds to minutes ? - Rocky Balboa - 22.11.2010

alright, it works fine

Yes but you don't need

pawn Code:
if(seconds>9) format(string,sizeof(string),"%d:%d",minutes,seconds);
else format(string,sizeof(string),"%d:0%d",minutes,seconds);
this. It does exactly the same thing and faster.

pawn Code:
format(string,sizeof(string),"%d:%02d",minutes,seconds);
