TOTAL online time - ALoX12 - 27.07.2015

Well, I'm using this for getting players total online time. I just wanted to ask is it good the way i am using? Cuz i have seen and heard gettime is best way. but i don't know how to save online time in gettime ways. Anyone post some codes?

PHP код:
forward TimeOnServer(); //Defining the public
public TimeOnServer() //calling the public for the timer
{
    for(new i=0; i<MAX_PLAYERS; i++) //Looping through players
    {
       if(IsPlayerConnected(i)) //For me I rather use IsSpawned, but for most people who might not have IsSpawned Variable, use IsPlayerConnected
       {
          pData[i][pMinutes] ++; //Increasing pMinutes every 60 seconds.
          if(pData[i][pMinutes] >= 60) //Checking if minutes reached 60. (one hour) pData[playerid][pVip] == 1
          {
              pData[i][pMinutes] =0; //Setting a new hour.
              pData[i][pHours] ++;  //Increasing online hour +1.
          }
          return 1;
}

Hello!

This is a good way.
PHP код:
public TimeOnServer()
{
    for(new i;i<MAX_PLAYERS;i++)
    {
        if(!IsPlayerConnected(i) || IsPlayerNPC(i))continue;
        pData[i][pMinutes] ++;
        if(pData[i][pMinutes] >= 60)
        {
            pData[i][pMinutes] = 0;
            pData[i][pHours] ++;
        }
    }
    return 1;
} 
You can do this also with gettime() but it is cumbersome and it need more time.

And i am using this ongamemode
PHP код:
SetTimer("TimeOnServer",60000,1); /// for hours and mins

Keeping multiple variables for time is inefficient, as is using timers. You only need one unit of time (usually seconds) and all the rest can be deducted from that; 86400 seconds is 1440 minutes is 24 hours is 1 day. That is the principle of the Unix timestamp.
PHP код:
new gTimeJoined[MAX_PLAYERS]; 
When the player logs in you save a timestamp.
PHP код:
gTimeJoined[playerid] = gettime(); 
When the player leaves (or requests his stats) you calculate the difference.
PHP код:
new difference = gettime() - gTimeJoined[playerid]; 
Now you have the total time in seconds the player has been playing during that session. Then it's a simple matter of addition. Very easy in SQL based systems. Slightly more tricky in file based system: read the total time, add the session time and then write the result back to the file.
