Unix Time

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to do daily rewards for a mobile game I'm working on. I've found some threads like this one (https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/general-discussion-7/daily-bonus-143684) that suggest using unix time, so I've been messing around with that.

The users there suggested using floor(unixtime/86400) to get the day. Then that can be saved to local storage and a new day could be checked with "is currentdayvariable < floor(unixtime/86400)."

That thread seemed to imply that, if I ran it on the same day, I would always get the same output from floor(unixtime/86400). But so far, it's always been different.

Hopefully that all made sense, I guess what I'm after is finding a way for the game to know that a day has passed.

Thanks

Unixtime is in milliseconds. You have to use floor(unixtime/86400000)

It´s also mentioned in the thread you linked, just a bit further down.

Thanks! I tried that, but I still seem to have the same problem. The thread that I linked seems to say that floor(unixtime/86400000) will always return the same number if it's ran on the same day. So for example, if I ran it two times today it would return the same number. I tried that just now and I got 1613400114110 and 1613400132398.

Nevermind I figured it out. I wasn't setting my current day variable right. Thanks again for your help!
