How to do script to output message of time

[Mangrove Jack]

I have been trying to get a message out of the time when a trigger is activated with a value - say 'x' minutes - added to it. I have managed to get the time in seconds but need to convert to hrs/min and maybe sec - not sure about them, and output conversion.

 

I was looking at local time but just yesterday realised that only zulu time is available in Hornet, so I adjust for that (4hrs on PG map). Message is advising co-op mission participants to be on target at 'X' time. I am currently putting message out as 'x' minutes to TOT. I wanted to change that to hrs minutes to help with inputting the TOT in the UFC. 

 

What I have got out currently and working is:

 

local _missionTime = timer.getAbsTime()
local _z_adj_TOT = timer.getAbsTime() - 14400+420 --this time into mission in my example from trigger at 08:00:40 and adjusts for Zulu difference of 4 hrs and ads 420 seconds.  Returns 14860.801 (which is = 04.128 hrs) WORKS
   trigger.action.outText( 'Mission Time is: ' .._z_adj_TOT, 40 )
 

However I have not been able to work out how to covert to 24 hr time format and output in message. Anyone able to give any pointers?

This code does it : 

Spoiler

local _z_adj_TOT = timer.getAbsTime() - 14400+420 --this time into mission in my example from trigger at 08:00:40 and adjusts for Zulu difference of 4 hrs and ads 420 seconds.  Returns 14860.801 (which is = 04.128 hrs) WORKS
if _z_adj_TOT < 0 then
_z_adj_TOT = 86400 + _z_adj_TOT
end
if _z_adj_TOT == 0 then
trigger.action.outText( 'Mission Time is : 0 Hr 0 Mn 0 Sec.', 40 )
else
local Hour1 = _z_adj_TOT / 3600
local Hour2 = math.floor (Hour1)
local Hour3 = Hour1 - Hour2
if Hour3 == 0 then
trigger.action.outText( 'Mission Time is : ' .. Hour2 .. ' Hr 0 Mn 0 Sec.', 40 )
else
local Min1 = 60 / (1 / Hour3)
local Min2 = math.floor (Min1)
local Min3 = Min1 - Min2
if Min3 == 0 then
trigger.action.outText( 'Mission Time is : ' .. Hour2 .. ' Hr ' .. Min2 .. ' Mn 0 Sec.', 40 )
else
local Sec1 = 60 / (1 / Min3)
local Sec2 = math.floor (Sec1)
trigger.action.outText( 'Mission Time is : ' .. Hour2 .. ' Hr ' .. Min2 .. ' Mn ' .. Sec2 .. ' Sec.', 40 )
end
end
end

toutenglisse thank you very much, that is what I needed and I had not come across it anywhere in my searches.
