Display time of object

Here's a different formatting function that will only show the largest units for the time (days, hours, minutes, seconds):

Code:

function formattimealt(output, seconds)
  local minutes = math.floor(seconds / 60)
  local hours = math.floor(minutes / 60)
  local days = math.floor(hours / 24)
  local res

  seconds = seconds % 60
  minutes = minutes % 60
  hours = hours % 24

  if days > 0 then
    res = days .. 'd'
  elseif hours > 0 then
    res = hours .. 'h'
  elseif minutes > 0 then
    res = minutes .. 'm'
  else
    res = seconds .. 's'
  end
  
  grp.update(output, res)
end

If you have a fixed total run time then you can use this:

Code:

time_total = 22 * 3600 -- 22 hours in seconds
time_remaining = math.max(0, time_total - time_curr)
  
formattimealt(out_total, time_remaining)
