Measuring time passed in seconds.

Hey guys, so basically I need to measure time between 2 times in seconds. I need that for clicker game,to make like:
money += timepassed * moneypersecond
And of course I need to save time A on Quit, and measure time B on start and then difference between them. I tried to make it on my own but everytime when I was running app on phone I was getting like 12000000 money.
Any advice?

 

Getting the time difference in seconds is just

Code (CSharp):

1. var diffInSeconds = (dateTime1 - dateTime2).TotalSeconds;

Don't forget Time.deltaTime as well

 

so this is my saving code, this code is working perfectly, but im not sure where should i put, your part of code. LastRun is System.DateTime variable in Data class and i want to measure it and then calculate the difference.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.IO;
4. using System;
5.  
6. public class BackGroundSaving : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.  
9.     public Data data;
10.     System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch czasomierz = new System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch();
11.     public Data2 data2 = new Data2();
12.  
13.     void Start()
14.     {
15.         try
16.         {
17.          
18.             Load();
19.  
20.  
21.  
22.  
23.         }
24.         catch (Exception)
25.         {
26.  
27.         }
28.  
29.  
30.         czasomierz.Start();
31.  
32.  
33.  
34.     }
35.  
36.     public void Save()
37.     {
38.         data2.wspolczynnik_zarabiania_pieniedzy_na_sekunde_TradeMark = data.wspolczynnik_zarabiania_pieniedzy_na_sekunde_TradeMark;
39.         data2.wspolczynnik_zarabiania_pieniedzy_na_klikniecie_TradeMark = data.wspolczynnik_zarabiania_pieniedzy_na_klikniecie_TradeMark;
40.         data2.LastRun = data.LastRun;
41.         data2.money = data.money;
42.         Saver.SaveData(data2, "save.bin");
43.  
44.  
45.     }
46.     public void Load()
47.     {
48.         Saver.LoadData(ref data2, "save.bin");
49.         data.wspolczynnik_zarabiania_pieniedzy_na_sekunde_TradeMark = data2.wspolczynnik_zarabiania_pieniedzy_na_sekunde_TradeMark;
50.         data.wspolczynnik_zarabiania_pieniedzy_na_klikniecie_TradeMark = data2.wspolczynnik_zarabiania_pieniedzy_na_klikniecie_TradeMark;
51.         data.LastRun = data2.LastRun;
52.         data.money = data2.money;
53.  
54.  
55.  
56.     }
57.    
58.     void OnApplicationFocus(bool pauseStatus)
59.     {
60.         if (pauseStatus)
61.         {
62.  
63.         }
64.     }
65.  
66.  
67.  
68.  
69.     public void Update()
70.     {
71.  
72.         if (czasomierz.ElapsedMilliseconds >= 10000)
73.         {
74.             Save();
75.             czasomierz.Stop();
76.             czasomierz.Reset();
77.             czasomierz.Start();
78.  
79.         }
80.         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Escape))
81.         {
82.  
83.             Save();
84.             Application.Quit();
85.         }
86.     }
87. }

 

No worries,

You now know how to calculate the seconds using .TotalSeconds, so you just have to decide where you want to put it I think you're better equipped on that decision than I am. None of the time fields you are working with are in the data structure above, so I can't tell you where to put the code. Sorry.

 

As an example for you:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Test1 : MonoBehaviour {
2.  
3.     public System.DateTime startTime;
4.  
5.     void Start () {
6.         startTime = System.DateTime.UtcNow;
7.     }
8.    
9.     void Update () {
10.         System.TimeSpan ts = System.DateTime.UtcNow - startTime;
11.         Debug.Log (ts.Seconds.ToString ());
12.     }
13. }

 

Code looks like this now, but it is giving me 120000000 at start. What is the problem here?

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.IO;
4. using System;
5.  
6. public class BackGroundSaving : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.  
9.     public Data data;
10.     System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch czasomierz = new System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch();
11.     public Data2 data2 = new Data2();
12.     public System.DateTime startTime;
13.  
14.     void Start()
15.     {
16.         try
17.         {
18.             startTime = DateTime.Now;
19.          
20.             Load();
21.             if (data.diff > 0)
22.             {
23.  
24.  
25.                 data.money += data.diff * data.wspolczynnik_zarabiania_pieniedzy_na_sekunde_TradeMark;

28.         }
29.         catch (Exception)

43.  
44.         data2.diff = data.diff;
45.         data2.money = data.money;
46.         Saver.SaveData(data2, "save.bin");

62.     void OnApplicationFocus(bool pauseStatus)
63.     {
64.         if (pauseStatus)
65.         {

67.         }
68.     }
69.  
70.        public void Update()
71.     {
72.  
73.         if (czasomierz.ElapsedMilliseconds >= 10000)
74.         {
75.             data.diff = (DateTime.Now - startTime).TotalSeconds;
76.  
77.             Save();
78.             czasomierz.Stop();
79.             czasomierz.Reset();
80.             czasomierz.Start();
81.  
82.         }
83.         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Escape))
84.         {
85.             data.diff = (DateTime.Now - startTime).TotalSeconds;
86.             Save();
87.             Application.Quit();
88.         }
89.     }
90. }

 

OKAY SORRY FOR SPAM, GUYS THANKS FOR ALL HELP I FIGURED IT OUT AND NOW IT WORKS.
