Pauses in a "LOOP" - Dark734 - 05.01.2011

Hello,

Here's my code:

pawn Код:

public RandFire()
{
    
    for(new i = 0; i < 30000; i++)
    {
    CreateExplosion(-854.5049, 1538.4235, 22.5146, 2, 15);
    }
}

I want that the code waits like 5 seconds before doing another explosions. How is that possible?

Thank you,
-Alex

Create a Timer that gets called every 5 Seconds

SetTimer
SetTimerEx

pawn Код:

forward ExplosionTimer();
public ExplosionTimer()
{
    CreateExplosion(-854.5049, 1538.4235, 22.5146, 2, 15);
}

Then use

pawn Код:

SetTimer("ExplosionTimer", 5000, 0);

to start the ExplosionTimer
If you want to kill it later, it's recommented to take a variable to store the Timer's ID in.

pawn Код:

new foo;
AnyFunction()
{
    foo = SetTimer("ExplosionTimer", 5000, 0);
}
...
//later to kill it
...
KillTimer(foo);

Yeah but explosions happens like a minigun! I don't want that, i want that the script waits 5 seconds before doing another explosions. I'm not a pro of PAWN coding, so please explain a bit.

But, this kills the timer. It doesnt make it wait 5 seconds ..

Don't use

pawn Код:

for(new i = 0; i < 30000; i++)
{
}

Only use "KillTimer(foo);" if you want to kill the Timer

I don't want to kill the timer. I want to make it wait 5 seconds before he does another explosion. ....
