Math and %time
|
I was wondering if there is a way to perform basic math functions on the %time function. I thought of showing only the hours and minutes, dividing that down to one lump sum of minutes, etc. but I need the date calculated too. I'm trying to make an alias to show when the last time I died, casted a spell, recieved certain messages, etc from the MUD. Anybody know how to pull this off?

Save the indivual components of the date and time as a string list:
#var lastevent {%time(yyyy)|%time(mm)|%time(dd)|%time(hh)|%time(nn)|%time(ss)}
Then to calculate durations perform integer division and modulus operations between like components.

Better yet, save them as a record variable:
#var lastevent {yyyy=%time(yyyy)|mm=%time(mm)|dd=%time(dd)|hh=%time(hh)|nn=%time(nn)|ss=%time(ss)}
The doing the math is just a matter of comparing the components.
#MATH dsecs {%time(ss) - @lastevent.ss}
