Convert seconds into minutes. - jasperschellekens - 09.01.2018

Is it possible to convert seconds into minutes? and how would i do this?

This will display seconds:

PHP код:



format(str,sizeof(str),"{FFFFFF}Ban expire: {FF0000}in %d seconds\n\n",iDump-gettime());

              strcat(string2,str);

Seconds are selected from SQLlite db.

PHP код:



db_get_field_assoc(qHandle, "banlength", szDump, sizeof(szDump));

        iDump = strval(szDump);

i thought of giving an idea that might help better than waiting too long for someone to reply, comment will be removed.

why did you ignore rowdyrider lol he told you exactly what you needed... ex: if iDump-gettime() returns seconds then if you want it to return minutes

PHP код:



format(str,sizeof(str),"{FFFFFF}Ban expire: {FF0000}in %d seconds\n\n",iDump-gettime()/60); 
              strcat(string2,str);

see that /60 divide by 60 to return minutes , minute = 60 seconds
But if iDump-gettime() returns MS then you do /60*1000 which is /60000

PHP код:



stock TimeConvert(seconds)

{

    new M, S;

    new string[128];

    

    M = seconds / 60 ;

    S = seconds % 60 ;

    M = M % 60 ;

    

    format(string, sizeof string, "%02d:%02d", M, S); 

    return string;

}

Example:

PHP код:



new time[32];


format(time, 32, "%s", TimeConvert(200));

SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, time);

return seconds/60;

Can set the method framework up yourself.

If you're actually asking how to alter the string to contain minutes, then the quickest way would be to identify the number at a specified index (assuming the sentence is always the same length). If not, find the index of the substring "seconds", and work backwards I guess.

PHP код:



stock convertTime(time, &days, &hours, &minutes, &seconds)
{
    if (time < 0)
        return 0;

    hours = time / 3600;
    minutes = ((time / 60) - (hours * 60));
    seconds = time % 60;
    if(hours > 23)
    {
        days = hours / 24;
        hours = hours % 24;
    }
    return 1;
}

I believe he wanted the exact code not how to make it lol, anyways.

Why do you want to format something is already formatted?

PHP код:



)

SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, TimeConvert(200));

would work perfectly.

It's an example; that's how you would do it to use it with other text as well obviously.
