[Help] Setting a timer to delay rest of command - Ace_Menace - 19.07.2010

Concept:

Have a player type a command, "getcar", and in 2 minutes a car spawns on(near) their position.

Now I'm good, until I get to the timer part, I've never been familiar with timers, I spent a few hours now looking at other timers, and searching wiki, but no luck.

What I got:

pawn Код:

if(strcmp(cmd, "/getcar", true) == 0)
    {
        new Float:X, Float:Y, Float:Z;
        GetPlayerPos(playerid, X, Y, Z);
        SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_HELP, "A car will be to your position in 2 Minutes");
                // DELAY FOR CAR SPAWNING (2 Minutes) HERE
        new carid = CreateVehicle(410, X,Y+5,Z+1, 0.0, 6, 6, 15);
        CreatedCars[CreatedCar] = carid; // Part of la-rp base
        CreatedCar ++; // Part of la-rp base
        return 1;
    }

And Basically, I tried to put this into it:

pawn Код:

new CarTimer = SetTimer ("CarTimer", 120000,1);

But I have no clue how to make it so that the timer stops the car from spawning for 2 minutes

Re: [Help] Setting a timer to delay rest of command - Kar - 19.07.2010

make a forward CarTimer();

then public CarTimer()

then under cartimer

public CarTimer()
{
new carid = CreateVehicle(410, X,Y+5,Z+1, 0.0, 6, 6, 15);
CreatedCars[CreatedCar] = carid; // Part of la-rp base
CreatedCar ++; // Part of la-rp base
KillTimer(CarTimer);
}

Alright, I did what you suggested,
but I don't see how it implements the 2 minutes waiting.

Re: [Help] Setting a timer to delay rest of command - Kar - 19.07.2010

look at my commands

pawn Код:

else if(gTeam[playerid] == TEAM_MEDIC)
    {
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, MDCBOX);
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, text9);
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, text10);
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, text11);
        TextDrawShowForPlayer(playerid, text12);
        SetTimerEx("HideDraw", 15000, 0, "i", playerid);
    }


//see hidedraw next public hidedraw

forward HideDraw(playerid);
public HideDraw(playerid)
{
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text28);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text29);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, HOUSEBOX);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, HSTATSBOX);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text34);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text30);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text31);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text32);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text33);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, CIVBOX);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text1);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text2);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text3);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text4);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, COPBOX);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text6);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text7);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text8);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, MDCBOX);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text9);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text10);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text11);
    TextDrawHideForPlayer(playerid, text12);
    new str2[256];
    format(str2, sizeof(str2), " ");
    TextDrawSetString(text32, str2);
    return 1;
}

see? the textdraws i have gets hidden after 15000 Seconds

I just ran what I had through it's paces. Typed the command ingame waited 2 minutes, and nothing occured.
Anyways here's what I have so far:

pawn Код:

forward TaxiTimer();

public TaxiTimer()
{
    new tmp[256];
    new playa = ReturnUser(tmp);
    new Float:Xb, Float:Yb, Float:Zb;
    GetPlayerPos(playa, Xb, Yb, Zb);
    new carid = CreateVehicle(438, Xb,Yb+5,Zb+1, 0.0, 6, 6, 60000);
    CreatedCars[CreatedCar] = carid;
    CreatedCar ++;
}

    if(strcmp(cmd, "/gettaxi", true) == 0)
    {
        SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_HELP, "A Taxi is in-bound to your position in 2 Minutes");
        SetTimer ("TaxiTimer", 120000,1);
        return 1;
    }

pawn Код:

forward CarTimer(Float:X, Float:Y, Float:Z);

pawn Код:

if(strcmp(cmd, "/getcar", true) == 0)
    {
        new Float:X, Float:Y, Float:Z;
        GetPlayerPos(playerid, X, Y, Z);
        SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_HELP, "A car will be to your position in 2 Minutes");
        SetTimer("CarTimer",60*2*1000, false, "%f %f %f", X, Y, Z);
        return 1;
    }

pawn Код:

public CarTimer(Float:X, Float:Y, Float:Z)
new carid = CreateVehicle(410, X,Y+5,Z+1, 0.0, 6, 6, 15);
        CreatedCars[CreatedCar] = carid; // Part of la-rp base
        CreatedCar ++; // Part of la-rp base
}

Not tested.

Re: [Help] Setting a timer to delay rest of command - Ace_Menace - 19.07.2010

Just attempted to compile, and I get the following:

Код:

(2476) : error 025: function heading differs from prototype
(2478) : error 017: undefined symbol "Y"
(56470) : warning 202: number of arguments does not match definition
(56470) : warning 202: number of arguments does not match definition
(56470) : warning 202: number of arguments does not match definition
(56470) : warning 202: number of arguments does not match definition

I couldn't make sense of the errors

Note: I canged CarTimer to TaxiTimer

pawn Код:

public TaxiTimer(Float:X, Float:Z, Float:Z) //Line 2476
{
    new carid = CreateVehicle(438, X,Y+5,Z+1, 0.0, 6, 6, 15); //Line 2478
    CreatedCars[CreatedCar] = carid;
    CreatedCar ++;
}



    if(strcmp(cmd, "/gettaxi", true) == 0)
    {
        new Float:X, Float:Y, Float:Z;
        GetPlayerPos(playerid, X, Y, Z);
        SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_HELP, "A car will be to your position in 2 Minutes");
        SetTimer("TaxiTimer",60*2*1000, false, "%f %f %f", X, Y, Z); //Line 56470
        return 1;
    }

Re: [Help] Setting a timer to delay rest of command - [HUN]Jaki - 20.07.2010

Sorry, it's SetTimerEx(), not SetTimer()...
And it does not need the % signs.

pawn Код:

if(strcmp(cmd, "/getcar", true) == 0)
    {
        new Float:X, Float:Y, Float:Z;
        GetPlayerPos(playerid, X, Y, Z);
        SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_HELP, "A car will be to your position in 2 Minutes");
        SetTimerEx("CarTimer",60*2*1000, false, "f f f", X, Y, Z);
        return 1;
    }

Thanks, it seems to have worked, although it unfortunately crashes my server
as soon as I type the command.
