Tibia Time Comparision.

[tarjei]

Hello. I come up with writing this small lib. Its easy to use, I will present it below.
How it works? It gets time range (from hour to hour) and check if current time is in this range.
It may contain small error, but if you have some skils you can easily fix this.

TimeRange = {}

function TimeRange:new(time1, time2)
 local obj = {}
 
 obj.timestart = {hours = time1.hours, minutes = time1.minutes}
 obj.timeend = {hours = time2.hours, minutes = time2.minutes}
 self.__index = self
 
 return setmetatable(obj,self)
end

function TimeRange:changeToMinutes(t)
	return t.hours*60 + t.minutes
end

function TimeRange:isBetween()
	local timeinseconds =  self:changeToMinutes(getTibiaTime())
	local timestart = self:changeToMinutes(self.timestart)
	local timeend = self:changeToMinutes(self.timeend)
        local t1 = math.min(timestart, timeend)
	local t2 = math.max(timestart, timeend)
	
	print(t1,t2,timeinseconds)
	if(t1 == timestart) then
		print("t1 tstart")
		return (timeinseconds >= t1 and timeinseconds <= t2)
	elseif (t1 == timeend) then
	    print("t2 tstart")
		return not((timeinseconds > t1 and timeinseconds < t2))
	end

	return false
end

Usage:

local timeSample =TimeRange:new({hours = 1, minutes = 21},{hours = 1, minutes = 50})
print("Is current time in range? " .. tostring(timeSample:isBetween()))

Can you explain what this does? The code looks to be nicely written.

 

[tarjei]

it checks if current tibia time is between some time range like now is 1AM you want to check if this hour is betwen 12PM and 3PM it will return false, beacosue its not between this range.

Ah, I think I am going to use this on my server. Thank you for releasing this.
