So, I used to make a timer and do some annoying stuff to get the time difference between two events. I decided to just make it easier so I can call a function at the start of an event and the end to get the difference. Here is what I have.
Basically for some event, lets say...cheese:
storeTime("cheese")
then you can do this
diffTime("cheese") --Returns a string with the time in each increment that has changed, destroys the key
diffTime("cheese", true) --Same thing, but wont remove that event. Allows you to check elapsed time and keep it
diffTime("cheese", true, true) --Same as above, but returns a numerical difference in seconds elapsed
function storeTime(key)
if not ksys.time then
ksys.time = {}
end
ksys.time[key] = {
h = getTime().hour,
m = getTime().min,
s = getTime().sec,
z = getTime().msec
}
return true
end
function diffTime(key, check, numeric)
if not ksys.time[key] then
if not check then
cecho("\nTime not stored for that event.")
end
return 0
end
local curtime = {
h = getTime().hour,
m = getTime().min,
s = getTime().sec,
z = getTime().msec
}
if numeric then
return ((curtime.h - ksys.time[key].h) * 360) + ((curtime.m - ksys.time[key].m) * 60) + (curtime.s - ksys.time[key].s)
end
local outstring = ""
if curtime.h > ksys.time[key].h then
outstring = outstring .. (curtime.h - ksys.time[key].h) .. " hr "
end
if curtime.m > ksys.time[key].m then
outstring = outstring .. (curtime.m - ksys.time[key].m) .. " min "
end
if curtime.s > ksys.time[key].s then
outstring = outstring .. (curtime.s - ksys.time[key].s) .. " sec "
end
if curtime.z > ksys.time[key].z then
outstring = outstring .. (curtime.z - ksys.time[key].z) .. " ms "
end
if not check then
ksys.time[key] = nil
end
return outstring:gsub(".$", "")
end
