how to make a stop watch displaying in MM:SS:MSMS?

[next crescent]

how do i save this time, optimize, and make it non exploitable?

[weak trout]

look into datetime() and datastoreservice

[polar siren]

local function formatTime(time)
local minutes = math.floor(time / 60)
local seconds = math.floor(time % 60)
local milliseconds = math.floor((time % 1) * 100)
return string.format("%02d:%02d.%02d", minutes, seconds, milliseconds)
end

The time variable is a tick() value

Used it in one of my games

chat gpt ah

[next crescent]

ok i will

[next crescent]

is this good

btw im running the timer both client and server side

the client side is just to display

and server side is so its not exploitable

server has final say btw

[weak trout]

seems good yea

you can show server side also

Did you get how to format?

[next crescent]

not really ngl

like ik what the other guy said

its not even about the formatting

its like how do i run both the client and server at the same time

[weak trout]

depends if you want the same time for everyone or not

[next crescent]

its different for everyone

[weak trout]

In this case you could put everything in LocalScript then I guess

[next crescent]

but that would make it easy for exploiters

to exploit and stuff

and that would be super bad for my game

[weak trout]

should the chrono start when a player join?

[next crescent]

crono?

the timer starts when player clicks a button

[weak trout]

you should put in the client the code that detect when this button is pressed and register the time when it is pressed, then remote the server

with Datetime.now()

and the duration of the timer you put it in the server script

[next crescent]

wait wait

i kinda get what ur saying but at the same i dont

[weak trout]

show me your server side

Also this is the DateTime documentation if you need

[next crescent]

this what i have rn
