A maths question regarding displaying time

Nearing the end of my major project and I'm trying to tidy up a few of the loose ends and minor details to polish it up!

My problem is displaying the time the player has spent in the game in an Hours, Minutes and Seconds display. The page where you see the time, is constantly updating even when you're looking at it.

I'm using the display text function to show it, but I'm having trouble removing the decimal points that appear in the Hours and Minutes part of the equation. Is there a simple way I can fix that? Hope I made that clear enough!

    use the floor function. It drops off the decimal part of a number

    e.g. floor(3.1415926535) = 3
    floor(123.948) = 123

    Edit: Or what QS posted. I forgot I that up. :p

    Ahh that's PERFECT!! Thanks a bunch guys. I figured it might have somethign to do with using the floor function, I'd just never used it and wouldn't have known where to start!
