I can't find it but someone post a while back a way to easily format the system time variable into XX:XX:XX

Pretty sure it was all on one line, or used on the Set Text action...

does anyone know?

zeropad(Date.GetHours(Date.Now),2) & ":" & zeropad(Date.GetMinutes(Date.Now),2) & ":" & zeropad(Date.GetSeconds(Date.Now),2)

calminthenight I am converting the time variable, I don't want the current time.
I am showing the player how long they played the game.
