[Plugin] System date and time

blurymind

No, t0 and t1 is milliseconds.

T = (t1 - t0)/1000 : seconds

T/60 : minutes

T/(60*60) : hours

T/(60*60*24) : days

And how do i get t0 and t1?

Ony way to get t0, t1 is using Expression:UnixTimestamp to get current timestamp.

Or get specific timestamp by Expression:Date2UnixTimestamp(year, month, day)

Thank you, the formula worked!

Now on to figure out a user intuitive way to input the date.

Hi Rex,

I am using your plugin 'Date' and 'DateInARow'. Which plugin do you think will allow me to count the days that my game has been in use. For example, from day 1 of installing the game to the current date, something like you have been using this game for number of days. Its just for stats really. Is this at all possible. I have managed to get the date number and store that locally, then subtract if from the new date, but as soon as it goes into following month the calculation are out. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks John

Uses rex_date plugin ,and save (year, month, date).

Compare current date (year, month, date) with saved (year, month, date). If any of these 3 fields is different, then it is a new day now.

Thanks for that Rex,

And for taking the time to respond. I have one query, that is, I can use the Browser plugin and store the date in a cookie, I presume as you have done in your capx examples. Or can I use the localstorage to save the date. Having read the manual it is possible for the user to remove all cookies on the device, thus removing the saved date. It sounds like local storage would be the securest option to use. I think unless any one else knows differently.

I prefer saving data in webstorage/localstorage.

Cool thanks Rex it makes much more sense

Is there any problem in having multiple timers when using rex_time_awayL?

When I use more than one timer, I cant restart it, nor recreate it with the same name after remove it =(

I'm trying to manage multiple ship travels. Each one may take several hours, so the player have to be able to leave the game and return after some time.

Could you provide a very simple capx for this problem?

Thank you for your help!

Here is the capx:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/lndjvg5y7tc4k ... .capx?dl=0

Instructions:

• Click in one of the two buttons
• Click on GO
• Wait until the timer resets
• Click again on the same button you clicked first.
• When you click GO again, the timer doesn't start
• But the other button and timer will work no matter how many times you start it.

• But If you intercalate between the two buttons, it never stops working

You might check the logic of getting escaped time. See the document in 1st thread.

Get escaped time

Call "Action:Get elapsed time" to start a read request.

"Condition:On elapsed time get" will be triggered while gets data. The elapsed time could be read by "Expression:ElapsedTime", in seconds.

Or use rex_time_away plugin

These are perfect! Thank you so much.

rexrainbow would it be possible for you to integrate functions that I added to your datetime plugin officially?
