How do i code a persons online time?

mob/var/minute = 0
mob/var/seconds = 0

client
New()
..()
there
spawn(1)
sleep(10)
usr.second += 1
src.onlinetime()
spawn(1)
goto there
Del()
..()
mob
proc
onlinetime()
if(usr.second => 60)
usr.minute += 1
usr.second = 0

mob
Stat()
stat("Online time:","[usr.minute]")


all this done by top of my imagination. i dont have a clue if this would work, if any one have any help or advice about my coding please let me know and teach me how to code a time code!

i know how to code a clock, i learn it on byond tutorial.

thank you guys

Looks pretty good to me. Only problem you might have with the above code is refrences. Which im not very good at and would have to examine them on paper.

spawn(1)
sleep(10)
usr.second += 1
src.onlinetime()
spawn(1)

For this I would probley just spawn(10) and then run the assignment statements.

mob/var/seconds = 0

One more thing that caught my eye. Your var name when defined is seconds while the others were second. :) dont get var names confused.

If you want to calculate in-game time by the number of server ticks the player has been on then do something like this:

client
var/start_time
New()
.=..()
start_time=world.time
proc/return_gametime()
return world.time/start_time

For realistic in-game time:

client
var/start_time
New()
.=..()
start_time=world.realtime
proc/return_realtime()
return world.realtime/start_time

Something like that, but with correct math. Division isn't going to get you very far here; subtraction is what you need.

No put usr in proc. Ungh.

The best way to keep track of time is to mark the time of arrival and then substract that from the current time whenever you want to check. Bear in mind that world.time is in ticks, which are not necessarily 1/10 second because they take place in game time, not real time. world.realtime does give you real time, but because it's such a large floating point number it rounds off by several seconds so there's no kind of accuracy to it at all.

Something from a demo I never got around to releasing:
mob
    var
        
        logintime
    
    proc
        
        CheckTime(time)
            time = world.time/10 - src.logintime  //Make the time equal the current time minus the person's login time.
            return round(time)
            //Now make the proc return the rounded version of their time.
    
    verb
        
        Who()
            for(var/mob/M in world) //Loop over all mobs in the game.
                usr << "<b>[M]</b>  - Logged in for [M.CheckTime()] second\s   Inactive for [round(client.inactivity/10)] second\s"
                //Output some information including the result of their CheckTime proc.


    Login()
        
        ..()
        logintime = world.time/10 //Divide so it uses seconds and not milliseconds


Works fine in all tests.

Oops... hit the wrong key. Darn it all, I keep doing stuff like that and you keep correcting me. Something must be wrong with me lately.
