Help with the timer. - GangsTa_ - 21.04.2011

I want to script this shit when I /enter a building, the player will freeze for at least 3 seconds for the objects to load;
I tried with SetTimer, but the problem was that for me it freezed, and I got unfreezed after 3 seconds, but the other player that entered the building never got unfreezed. Could you tell me how to fix it?

SetTimerEx

Re: Help with the timer. - GangsTa_ - 21.04.2011

Okay, I'm gonna try it.

Re: Help with the timer. - GangsTa_ - 21.04.2011

Look, help me out with those variables for SetTimerEx
Should they look like:
forward ptimer();

then
public ptimer()
{
TogglePlayerControllable(playerid, 1); [or wutever is it for unfreeze]
return 1;
}

Like that?

Whats wrong with your Objects since you need to freeze?
what happends when they enter it without timer.

Where are you getting the playerid value from in the function? It's never passed there, I assume you're trying to do something like this:

pawn Код:
SetTimerEx("ptimer", 1000, 0, "i", playerid);

public ptimer(playerid)
{
    TogglePlayerControllable(playerid, true);
    return 1;
}
Doesn't that make more sense? You're using SetTimerEx to the pass the value of playerid to the function, which then uses the value of playerid in the TogglePlayerControllable function.

pawn Код:
new pTimerr;

pTimerr = SetTimerEx("ptimer", 1000, 0, "i", playerid);

public ptimer(playerid)
{
    TogglePlayerControllable(playerid, true);
    KillTimer(pTimerr);
    return 1;
}

@Gertin, why would you kill nonexistant timer?
