Player logout time

[Hijirikawa]

I'm trying to make a script, but I need the formula on how to calculate the player's logout time efficiently. Can anyone help me with this one? Thanks.

Gettimetick(2) is the number of seconds since the unix epoch (Jan 1st 1970). When you log out, "set LogOutTick, gettimetick(2)". For example, let's say 1000000.

When you log in, "set LogInTick, gettimetick(2)". For example, let's say 1100000.

So "LogInTick - LogOutTick" is 1100000 - 1000000 = 100000. The player has been offline for 100000 seconds.

Just use gettimetick(2) and calculate the difference.

how would the calculation be? The description says it counts the second since start of current day. However, what if, for instance the player played at 01:00 server time, and then log back in the next day at 12:00, would it not result in a negative number?

gettimetick(2) returns the epoch time

 

So on logout, you store the timetick [logouttime]. On login, you get the timetick [logintime], then the offline time is [logintime - logouttime]

Sorry I'm still confused, but if the formula would be logintime - logouttime, wouldn't there be a chance of it being negative if we use gettimetick(2)?

exact login time ( gettimetick(2) ) minus last saved logout time ( gettimetick(2) )

I see now, thanks.

Now, for instance, limit is 24 hours, then I should do this?

OnPCLogoutEvent:
	
	set checkday,gettimetick(1);
	
	end;
	
OnPCLoginEvent:

	if(gettimetick(1) >= checkday)
		dispbottom "You have been away for more than 1 day";
		
	end;

Youre using the wrong timetick; you need to use gettimetick(2), and you need use the logic I used in my above post

[Hijirikawa]

How about this?

OnPCLogoutEvent:
	
	set checkday,gettimetick(2) + 84600; //logout time + 24 hours
	
	end;
	
OnPCLoginEvent:

	if(gettimetick(2) >= checkday)
		dispbottom "You have been away for more than 1 day";
		
	end;

Yup, that'll work

Alright, thanks.
