Hello, i am trying to create a "System" in my game that captures the player idle time (time away), i already tried to use "Time Away L" plugin (using Time Away L it works really fine on the preview, but when the game its exported (android), it doesnt work). So i am trying something different, get the current date in seconds and do the calculation to get the "Idle Time", does anyone have any idea how i do this?

Browser.ExecJS("Date.now()") will give you the system's Unix time in ms.

To get seconds, divide by 1000 and round. You should save this value to local storage every x seconds, and compare the current Unix time with the saved time upon resuming the game.
