User data saving - sim_sima - 19.05.2011

Hi guys.
I have made a gamemode that saves and loads user data using Dini.
I thourght about makeing a timer that saves the user data every second, so that the data are not only saved when the player disconnects. Is this a good idea? If not, what could the alternative be?

Thank you.

For me the best variant its

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerDisconnect(playerid, reason)
{
    switch(reason)
    {
        case 0: SaveData(playerid); // You'r function
        case 1: SaveData(playerid); // You'r function
        case 2: SaveData(playerid); // You'r function
    }
    return 1;
}

        case 2: SaveData(playerid); // You'r function
    }
    return 1;
}

And what if the server restarts or he loses connection to the internet?

It's better to save user's data when he disconnects. Because if you save user's data every second it could make lagg.

It will save user's data because OnPlayerDisconnect() callback will be call.

Well, I save player information every 60 seconds and it doesn't cause lagg at all.

    return 1;
}

Or just:

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerDisconnect(playerid, reason)
{
   SaveData(playerid);
   return 1;
}

you should do both, but 1 second is too quick, maybe every 10 minutes

I already did that, and it doesnt work when the server restarts, because OnPlayerDisconnect only gets called when the player disconnects.

Re: User data saving - sim_sima - 19.05.2011

Ok, i tryed this:

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerDisconnect(playerid, reason)
{
    switch(reason)
    {
        case 0: SaveData(playerid); // You'r function
        case 1: SaveData(playerid); // You'r function
        case 2: SaveData(playerid); // You'r function
    }
    return 1;
}

Well, it totally fucks up. My script saves position, and when i spawn, i just die and get freezed, unable to move :S
