FromHours

Converts a whole number of hours into minutes (n * 60). A readability helper for duration math: FromHours(2) says “two hours” more clearly than 120.

Category: Time Returns: int

Signature

FromHours(n)

The argument is a whole number of hours.

Examples

FromHours(2)                                       // 120
TimeSinceLastVisit(scene_bar) > FromHours(2)        // more than two hours since the bar
AbsoluteMinutes() < FromHours(6)                    // within the first six hours

Notes

  • Requires time to be enabled for the project (Project, then Time). With time disabled, any expression using this function fails validation.
  • FromHours is for expression fields, not event payloads. The Advance Time event’s Minutes field takes a plain number, so write the minute count directly there rather than reaching for FromHours.
  • Pairs with TotalHours, which does the inverse conversion, minutes back to whole hours.
