Time since bot started?

[Inrego]

Hey is there any way to call some timer which shows the amount of time gone since the bot was started? So I can make something like GB2's status report.

maybe use something to trigger the timer ( some sort of start button ) with System.DateTime.TimeOfDay something something ( i suck @ C# )

 

[Smarter]

var startTime = DateTime.Now; //Record at Init. 
var lengthRunning = (DateTime.Now - startTime);
Logging.Write(Color.Plurple, "I have been dying and sucking for: " + lengthRunning.TotalMinutes().ToString());

 

[Inrego]

Thank you.

 

[seVen]

yea that was what i meant *rofl*

 

[Inrego]

Hmm, I'm trying to make this in PB. The only variables available to use here are var1, var2.... varn
Additionally, when I use them I have to write their type in front of them - for example (string)var3
When I do this I don't seem to be able to use the .TotalMinutes() or .ToString() - it's giving me some errors.
Any ideas on this?

Using it like this in an custom action

var startTime = DateTime.Now; var lengthRunning = (DateTime.Now -  startTime); Logging.Write(Color.Purple, "I have been dying and sucking  for: " + lengthRunning.TotalMinutes.ToString());

works, just 4 everyone to see

 

[Inrego]

Aha, I was breaking it into several custom actions

On a second thought.
I don't think that'll work. First, because I do need to execute the lines at 2 different places. 1 at the beginning and 1 when I want to check the time.

EDIT: I made one custom action like this

var startTime = DateTime.Now;

and then later when I want to check the time, I made another one like this:

var lengthRunning = (DateTime.Now - startTime); Logging.Write(Color.Purple, "I have been dying and sucking for: " + lengthRunning.TotalMinutes.ToString());

I'm getting this error:

The name 'startTime' does not exist in the current context

mmmh Inrego and his special needs

Yea - I like to fiddle around with my profiles and add some nice extra touches which makes them special and lovable!
btw - I edited previous post. (again)

 

[seVen]

you would need something like

if bot is running then save the local time into a var and if the bot stopped( or some other event happens) use saved var and do something awesome with it - i think

 

[Inrego]

Nah I don't need to show it when the bot stops. Just at vendor runs or something like that.

I'm quite surprised you didn't get errors in the line

var2 = (DateTime.Now - var1);

I'm quite sure that I did because you have to specify a type for the var1, that'd make it something like

var2 = (DateTime.Now - (DateTime)var1);

I'm not sure though.

 

[seVen]

oh well kills me, good luck with this one ^^

Your gonna have to take Now.hour and now.minute and save them.
Then on an event you'll have to compare them.
You can't take a current time, which is actually 3+ variables (hr,min,sec) and subtract from it.

 

[Inrego]

Ah, alright. I should be able to get that working - thanks!

 

[no1knowsy]

Might also want to get the day...


So 25th on startTime
26th currenttime
take: 24/*being 24 hrs*/ - startTime.hour + (currentTime.hour)

 

[Apoc]

Logging.Write(Color.Purple, "Blah blah {0:D2} days, {1:D2} hours, {2:D2} minutes, {3:D2} seconds", var2.Days, var2.Hours, var2.Minutes, var2.Seconds);

Make sure your "var1" is

var var1 = DateTime.Now;

And

var var2 = DateTime.Now - var1;

 

[Smarter]

In PB:

var1 = DateTime.Now

var2 = DateTime.Now - (DateTime)var1;

Logging.Write(Color.EatMe, "I have been stroking off Bossland for: " + (TimeSpan)var2.TotalMinutes().ToString());
