How to get values from placeholders %player_first_join% or %player_first_played% to compare?

[stuck dagger]

I've created a thread on a github: https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/Player-Expansion/issues/94
Basically i want to make a requirement so players could get "old player" rank via ExecutableEvents if they played 3 years or more (since first join), but i cant understand how to get proper date values from those placeholders?

uh

it's using unix timestamp

basically

use a javascript placeholder that gives you unix timestamp. Then do this
%javascript_timestamp% - %player_first_played%

to make your life easier

    return Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000); // Convert milliseconds to seconds
}

getUnixTimestamp()```

put this in a js placeholder

and then, use an equation to convert seconds to years

as for the EE event. do the following

i'm not sure how the custom event works, so i'll suggest the loop event.

Make a loop that checks the timer. make a variable in score, to set as boolean. i.e: is-old = false. if the player reaches the 3 year mark, make the event give the player that old player rank. then Set the is-old to true. for the event requirements. Set the requirement to ask is-old is false. If the is-old is false, it will run the event to check whether the player has enough time played. Then set another requirement to check whether the time is above 3 years. if yes, only then the event will run.

For requirement to check is-old, make sure that it stops checking for other requirements if the player has it set as true.

i'm kinda ass at explaining, but this should help

ping me if you need help in something else
