Timer - bartje01 - 15.06.2011

Hey all. I want that you can't spam a command. How to check if this is still running?

Plant[playerid] = SetTimerEx("PlantTimer",10000,false,"i",playerid);

Try adding this at the beginning of your PlantTimer function:

pawn Код:

Plant[playerid] = -1; // -1 means that the timer is not running for playerid

Then, when you want to check to see if the timer is running (in OnPlayerCommandText I assume), you can put this at the top:

pawn Код:

if(Plant[playerid] != -1) // Check to see if the timer is running for playerid
    return 1; // + SendClientMessage here if you want to tell the player "Do not spam commands" or w/e!
}

// Your code continues here

I don't know what timerids start at, so you might be able to set Plant[playerid] to 0 if they timerids start at 1. This would make the check to see if the timer is running prettier! Anyway...

Hope this helps!

I will look at that later. Thankyou. I now have another problem. You might want to read my thread about it.
