This tutorial shows you how to create a playtime counter using a single value, some action parts & a few lines of Lua script.
Tutorial
1. Create a new script inside of the script section of the editor & add the script inside of the code block below into it.
local d, h, m, s -- empty variables which will be used to store converted time values
--* function which converts seconds to days, hours, minutes & seconds * --
function secondsToTime(v)
d = math.floor(v / 86400)
h = math.floor(v % 86400 / 3600)
m = math.floor(v % 3600 / 60)
s = math.floor(v % 3600 % 60)
-- + --
if d < 10 then d = tostring("0" .. d) end
if h < 10 then h = tostring("0" .. h) end
if m < 10 then m = tostring("0" .. m) end
if s < 10 then s = tostring("0" .. s) end
-- + --
return tostring( d .. ":" .. h .. ":" .. m .. ":" .. s )
end2. Next you are going to want to create a value somewhere. Name it playtime & set the default value to 0.
3. Now go to the actions tab of the scene that you are wanting to display the timer on. Create an at begin of scene action, an at end of scene action & 2 called by other actions. Name the called by other actions: update_playtime & update_playtime_text.
4. Inside of the at begin of scene action: add these action parts...
execute a script > (see code block below) call action 'update_playtime_text' call action 'update_playtime'
Values["playtime"].String = secondsToTime( Values["playtime"].ValueInt )
