Arrested Time Left

[ZerK]

How would I fetch a player's time left until they're unarrested?

I tried... I found something that used GetConVarNumber("jailtimer") or something, but it didn't work. It just said 0 for the time left.

Serverside

So in a Lua file (separate from the gamemode)

Use that hook. It returns the time.

Ok so I tried to figure this out and I still can't..

Can you please write out the code I'd use to define the time left?
I need to fetch the time left until the player is unarrested for the following:
[lua]ArrestFee = *NEED TIME HERE* * CONFIG.DollarsPerSecond[/lua]

and

[lua]draw.SimpleText( "Time Remaining: "..*NEED TIME HERE*.." seconds", "BailJobFont", w - 140, 14, Color( 0, 0, 0, 255 ), TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT )[/lua]

Look into hud/cl_hud.lua on line 183 if you are using the default hud - it is sent to the player via usermessage. You could simply set a variable of your choice in the same function and reference that.

I saw that, and tried using it as well, to no avail. :L

It isn't too complicated.

local StartArrested = CurTime()
local ArrestedUntil = msg:ReadFloat()

MyStartArrest = StartArrested
MyEndArrest = ArrestedUntil

And then to display it nicely:

local s = string.ToMinutesSeconds( math.Round( ( MyEndArrest or 0 ) - ( CurTime( ) - ( MyStartArrest or 0 ) ) ) )

draw.DrawSimpleText( "Time remaining: " .. s, other, stuff, here )

Which would give you text like:

Time remaining: 0:43
Time remaining: 15:33

And so on
