Converting TimeLength seconds into minutes..?

Asked 841 views1 answers

I've come about this problem many times, I am trying to make and so called "TimeLength" bar, which means when a song textbutton is clicked, it plays the sound (already scripted). The problem is, I am trying to make it to on a bar it shows the length of the sound in minutes, ROBLOX currently has it in seconds so it would be 120 instead of "2:00". How is it possible to covert the seconds into minutes, place them on a textbox and making a frame move using tweensize to go with the music as the iPhone has.

If you didn't know what I mean by "tweensize to go with music as the iPhone as" its that bar that goes when the music plays, stops at the end, at the same time as the song."

Its very important that I can find this out fast, so please help if you can ;)

To answer your question:

local num = 120 -- how many seconds at maximum

local sec = 0
local min = 0

while num > 60 do
	sec = sec - 60
	min = min + 1
end

sec = num

local maxsec = sec
local maxmin = min
local maxsec2 = num

local text = script.Parent.left
local text2 = script.Parent.max
local barholder = script.Parent.BarHolder -- this is the size of the bar
local bar = barholder.bar

text2.Text = "Song Length:" ..maxmin.. ":" ..maxsec

while wait(1) do
	if song.IsPlaying then
		sec = sec - 1
		if sec == 0 then
			min = min - 1
		end
		local sec2 = 0
		sec2 = (min * 60) + sec
		text.Text = "Time Left: " ..min.. ":" ..sec
		bar:TweenSize(UDim2.new((1/maxsec2)*sec2,0,1,0),"InOut","Quad",0.1,true)
	end
end

This should do it. Sorry, but I don't have time to explain. PM me if you have problems. I'm EmeraldSlash.
