Hello

What I need to do is to get the time user was away ( Elapsed time ) , I already get it with pluging date using date.now , so it brings a big number : 1598578778305 and I subtracted the current date - last date = result some number e.g. 8305 , now how I show the result in set text , to give a user a message , You was away yy/mm/d/h/m/s ? I've been using :

" zeropad(floor(TimeAwayNumer/60% 60), 2) & ":" & zeropad(floor(TimeAwayNumer%60), 2) "

but its limited I want to show yy/mm/d/h/m/s .

thanks

Check out the official Date template. It shows how to calculate the difference between two dates (it's in milliseconds), and display it in readable format.

Thank you dop2000, I had already seen it but I didn't understand it at first, but I looked better and it's quite easy , below the code if someone needs it

"Time Away : "&ceil(Date.ToTimerHours((Date.Difference(CurrentDate, LocalStorage.ItemValue)) / 8760))&"Y : "&ceil(Date.ToTimerHours((Date.Difference(CurrentDate, LocalStorage.ItemValue) / 730) % 12))&"M : "&ceil(Date.ToTimerHours((Date.Difference(CurrentDate, LocalStorage.ItemValue)/ 24) % 30.417))&"D : "&ceil(Date.ToTimerHours((Date.Difference(CurrentDate, LocalStorage.ItemValue))% 24))&"h : "&ceil(Date.ToTimerMinutes(Date.Difference(CurrentDate, LocalStorage.ItemValue)))&"m : "&ceil(Date.ToTimerSeconds(Date.Difference(CurrentDate, LocalStorage.ItemValue)))&"s"

The Current date is " date.now " and " Local Storage " is the Last date we get from user when he closes the game " On suspended or End of Layout " , it will get a negative value , you can multiply by -1 to get a positive value
