I am trying to show the delta between my last lap and the last lap of the driver behind & ahead

so i know how much am i (or they are gaining)

[LastLapTime]-[PersistantTrackerPlugin.DriverBehind_00_LastLapTime] doesn't work

i guess calculating time isnt that simple?

may someone please give me a hand?

You need to use seconds to differences (ncalc can't do it on times), you can use timespantoseconds(xxxx) to convert in seconds both operands, 

 

timespantoseconds([LastLapTime])-timespantoseconds([PersistantTrackerPlugin.DriverBehind_00_LastLapTime])


The result will be given in seconds.

@admin5435

 

thx for the help

i got some output 

but its not what i want

 

i guess its about the game that i play (F1 2020 - PS4)

becos

when i use

PersistantTrackerPlugin.DriverBehind_00_LastLapTime 
or
PersistantTrackerPlugin.DriverAhead_00_LastLapTime or even 01 02
these one their own is showing my previous lap time
not the car behind or ahead

i guess its the telemetry of the game publishing isnt right

Are you sure you are asking for the right data?

You will more than likely only get an update each lap if you query the lap times. Try querying the appropriate deltas in the persistent tracker.

Also look at using the 'driver' functions instead of properties.

This works in F1 2020 to get live gaps:

drivergaptoplayer([Position] + 1

drivergaptoplayer([Position]1

drivergaptoleader([Position])

And this gets you lap gaps (replace the final 1 with the same thing as above). Simhub will throw up an error initially when you enter the formula but will correct itself once you've done a lap.

timespantoseconds(driverlastlap(Position)) - timespantoseconds(driverlastlap(1))

I think i know where went wrong on me

i was using  lap time from quick texts

and input formula from there

which doesn't override the original content

 

i have to use a text and input formula to it

which then give correct information of what i want
