__________________________________________________ _____________________________
forward AirStrikeTimer(playerid);

OnPlayerCommandText
{
if (strcmp("/AirStrike", cmdtext, true, 10) == 0)
{
if(KillStreak[playerid] == 0) //(Change) to 6
{
SetTimer("AirStike", 40000, 0);
SendClientMessage(playerid, red, "Incoming an AirStrike to your position in 40 seconds!");
return 1;
}

}

public AirStrikeTimer(playerid)
{
new Float:x, Float:y, Float:z;
GetPlayerPos(playerid, Float:x, Float:y, Float:z);
CreateExplosion(Float:x, Float:y, Float:z, 2, 10.0);
CreateExplosion(Float:x, Float:y+5, Float:z, 2, 10.0);
CreateExplosion(Float:x, Float:y+10, Float:z, 2, 10.0);
CreateExplosion(Float:x, Float:y+15, Float:z, 2, 10.0);
CreateExplosion(Float:x, Float:y+20, Float:z, 2, 10.0);
CreateExplosion(Float:x, Float:y+25, Float:z, 2, 10.0);
CreateExplosion(Float:x, Float:y+30, Float:z, 2, 10.0);
CreateExplosion(Float:x+5, Float:y, Float:z, 2, 10.0);
CreateExplosion(Float:x+10, Float:y, Float:z, 2, 10.0);
CreateExplosion(Float:x+15, Float:y, Float:z, 2, 10.0);
CreateExplosion(Float:x+20, Float:y, Float:z, 2, 10.0);
CreateExplosion(Float:x+25, Float:y, Float:z, 2, 10.0);
CreateExplosion(Float:x+30, Float:y, Float:z, 2, 10.0);
CreateExplosion(Float:x, Float:y, Float:z+5, 2, 10.0);
return 1;

I havent made timers for a LONG time and now I cannot find a reason so thank you if you help me! :D

Re: Timer problem - ricardo178 - 20.03.2011

use [pawn] tags

Re: Timer problem - Zh3r0 - 20.03.2011

Because the function you call in the SetTimer doesn't match the one you want to be called.

Re: Timer problem - GNGification - 20.03.2011

Should it be...
SetTimer("AirStikeTimer", 40000, 0); ?

Re: Timer problem - ricardo178 - 20.03.2011

Yes, i think so by the way use the tags [pawn] when you post a script in this forum...

Re: Timer problem - GNGification - 20.03.2011

Thank you and Yes I add pawn tags next time

No, the AirStrikeTimer contains a 'playerid' parameter:

pawn Код:

SetTimerEx("AirStrikeTimer", 40000, false, "i", playerid);

Re: Timer problem - ricardo178 - 20.03.2011

SO it worked?

Re: Timer problem - Biesmen - 20.03.2011

Also, you do not have to use 'Float' all the time.

pawn Код:

public AirStrikeTimer(playerid)
{
    new Float:x, Float:y, Float:z;
    GetPlayerPos(playerid, x, y, z);
    CreateExplosion(x, y, z, 2, 10.0);
    CreateExplosion(x, y+5, z, 2, 10.0);
    CreateExplosion(x, y+10, z, 2, 10.0);
    CreateExplosion(x, y+15, z, 2, 10.0);
    CreateExplosion(x, y+20, z, 2, 10.0);
    CreateExplosion(x, y+25, z, 2, 10.0);
    CreateExplosion(x, y+30, z, 2, 10.0);
    CreateExplosion(x+5, y, z, 2, 10.0);
    CreateExplosion(x+10, y, z, 2, 10.0);
    CreateExplosion(x+15, y, z, 2, 10.0);
    CreateExplosion(x+20, y, z, 2, 10.0);
    CreateExplosion(x+25, y, z, 2, 10.0);
    CreateExplosion(x+30, y, z, 2, 10.0);
    CreateExplosion(x, y, z+5, 2, 10.0);
    return 1;
}
