Convert a timestamp to countdown - ThomasTailor93 - 21.04.2012

Hello guys,

I want to convert a timestamp to a hour, minute and second countdown in SA:MP, (xx hours, xxminutes and xxseconds left to the next period) but I don't know how. Does anyone know, how it works? I thanks for any reply.

Regards, ThomasTailor93

Ok, well. I think, I need to explain a bit more (just my fault for bad explanation).

I've muted a guy for 500 minutes (~ 8,3** hours).

Time, when I muted him: 1335060000 (4:00am CET)
Time, when he become unmuted: 1335090000 (12:20pm CET)

Now It is 5:00am CET and the muted guy wants to know, how long he is muted. So he checks it with /mutetime and the server will tell: "You are in 7 hours, 20 minutes and 0 seconds unmuted."

I really don't know how to do it in PAWN. I hope, anyone can help me.

pawn Код:
stock Countdown(&hours, &minutes, &seconds, countdown)
{
    new count = countdown - gettime();
    while(count > 3600)
    {
        hours ++;
        count = count - 3600;
    }
    while(count > 60)
    {
        minutes ++;
        count = count - 60;
    }
    seconds = count; 
    retrun 1;
}
Do you mean something along the lines of that? Returns the hours, minutes and seconds from the current timestamp to the one specified.

Цh.. It is just an example, but not the answer for my question ^^

Re: Convert a timestamp to countdown - MP2 - 22.04.2012

Well first you need to get the number of seconds left, so do time_he_will_be_unmuted-gettime(), that will give you how many seconds are left, then divide by 60 to find out how many hours, then use modulo (%) to find out how many minutes/seconds.

In this case: 30000 seconds = 500 minutes = 8,3333~ hours

Now: which function (maybe as a format ?) do I need to use?

//Edit: Okay, I got it!

Thanks anyway.
