How to use timers ? - marinov - 28.11.2010

I'm making one of those Video tutorial on OnPlayerConnect and I want the camera to look at different places as the text appears, how do I use the timers to change the camera pos, and the camera look at ?

read those already, I still don't know how to use them

Re: How to use timers ? - marinov - 28.11.2010

pawn Код:

forward Tutorial();

pawn Код:

SetTimer("Tutorial", 5000, true);

pawn Код:

public Tutorial() 
{
    if(team(playerid) == 0)
    {
    SetPlayerCameraPos(playerid, 286.32, 1785.15, 63.57);
    SetPlayerCameraLookAt(playerid, 203.95, 1902.99, 17.64);
    }
    return 1;
}

Did this just to test, is it right ?

No.

pawn Код:

forward tutorial ( playerid );

SetTimerEx ( "tutorial", 5000, false, "d", playerid );

let me try

Umm well lets make a simple timer

First we need to find out what we want this timer to do, lets say we want it to send the player somewhere after they die

.

So we do this just above:

Код:

public OnPlayerDeath(playerid)

Put this:

Код:

forward changethistotimernamehere(playerid);

Now go under OnPlayerDeath and put this:

Код:

SetTimer("changethistotimernamehere",milliseconds, repeat or not);

For the milliseconds know that (1000 milliseconds = 1 second) and if you want it to repeat put 1 and if not put 0

After that lets make a new public for this timer, so underneath our current onplayerdeath code:

Код:

forward Timerexample(playerid);
public OnPlayerDeath(playerid)
{
    SetTimer("Timerexample", 2500, 0);
    return 1;
}

Put this:

Код:

public Timerexample(playerid)
{
//CODE HERE
return 1;
}

So lets say we want them to teleport we do this:

Код:

public Timerexample(playerid)
{
SetPlayerPos(playerid, coords);
return 1;
}

So pretty much what we did is after the player dies a timer will start, after the timer finishes it will do whatever actions are in its public

.

All together it looks like this:

Код:

forward Timerexample(playerid);
public OnPlayerDeath(playerid)
{
    SetTimer("Timerexample", 2500, 0);
    return 1;
}

public Timerexample(playerid)
{
SetPlayerPos(playerid, coords);
return 1;
}

Goodluck
