os.date("%M") - 50

[MariusExygo 1480]

local time = os.date("%M")

 

local event_time = time - 60

 

So actually if i use this time - number and number is bigger than os.date("%M") i'm getting a crash and a negative result

 

Example:

 

os.date("%M") = 40

number = 50

 

I'm getting result -10 instead of 10

 

Any solution ? math.floor or something ?

Hmm if I understand you well, your problem is just you sometimes get negative number, and its can not be converted to time format. So if this is the problem, try to use math.abs(number). This will convert all numbers to its absolute value.

I'm getting the correct result but negative only when the number is bigger than the actual time(minute)

[masodikbela 1751]

Then use math.abs(number).

For example:

You have number -50. --> math.abs(-50) --> now you get number 50.

Use math.abs.
