[solved] How would I make this timer work properly using math?
while wait(1) do
local Hours = math.floor((Time - os.time()) / 3600)
local Minutes = math.floor(((Time - os.time()) / 60) / Hours)
local Seconds = math.floor(Time - os.time() / Minutes)
end
I am trying to make a countdown that displays hours, minutes and seconds. But it doesn't work because my math is wrong somewhere. But I do not know where. How would I fix this?
Time is os.time 24 hours in the future, so i need to countdown.

Your are correct, the maths is wrong. I'll provide a function i use to get hours, minutes and seconds
local function GetHMS(number)
local hours = 0
local minutes = 0
local seconds = 0
if number >= 3600 then
repeat
number = number - 3600
hours = hours + 1
until number < 3600
end
if number >= 60 then
repeat
number = number - 60
minutes = minutes + 1
until number < 60
end
seconds = number
return {hours,minutes,seconds}
end
GetHMS(math.floor(Time - os.time()))

I figured it out myself,
while wait(1) do
local Hours = math.floor((Time - os.time()) / 3600)
local Minutes = math.floor((Time - os.time()) / 60) % 60
Timer.Text = Hours..":"..Minutes
end
