Help with a timer and save. - Rocketeer - 02.08.2011

Hey, so i'm using Mysql and i want my players to see how long they have played on my server, so what i did was i created another variable, and everything went smooth, i went ingame and everything started going, i could see how many hours minutes and seconds i play.

Here is the problem, after i exit server, and come back on. a whole new timer starts, and the problem is Mysql records everything, but then my code tells it to restart whole thing, so here is a part of my code, I want to know why does it restart everytime i reconnect.

This is a timer.

Код:

syncserver = SetTimer("SyncServer", 999, 1);

Код:

forward SyncServer (playerid );
public SyncServer(playerid )
{

    PVar[playerid][pHours] ++;

    return 1;
}

once, again is there anything wrong with it? Mysql records how many seconds, and then its converted into minutes with some basic math.

For some reason count restarts everytime i reconnect server, and it changed data in mysql

pawn Код:

//under OnGameMode.....
SyncServer = SetTimerEx("SyncServer"...); Im guessing you now how to fill this in

forward SyncServer (playerid );
public SyncServer(playerid )
{

    PVar[playerid][pHours] ++;
    //InI_Write.... saves here
    return 1;
}

the only thing wrongis t repeat a timer you need to set a settimerex timer

You don't specify a playerid in your SetTimer - I'm not sure exactly of the behaviour of that, but I would use something like this instead (uses timec() which I posted in this thread):

pawn Код:

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    SetTimer("SyncServer", 999, 1);
}

forward SyncServer();
public SyncServer()
{
    for (new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
        if (PVar[playerid][LoggedIn])
        {
            PVar[playerid][pPlayTime]++;
        }
    }
}

CMD:playtime(playerid, params[])
{
    new string[128];
    format(string, sizeof(string), "You have been playing this server for %s.", timec(PVar[playerid][pPlayTime], 0));
    SendClientMessage(playerid, WHITE, string);
}

stock timec(timestamp, compare = -1) {
    if (compare == -1) {
        compare = gettime();
    }
    new
        n,
        Float:d = (timestamp > compare) ? timestamp - compare : compare - timestamp,
        returnstr[32];
    if (d < 60) {
        format(returnstr, sizeof(returnstr), '< 1 minute');
        return returnstr;
    } else if (d < 3600) { // 3600 = 1 hour
        n = floatround(floatdiv(d, 60.0), floatround_floor);
        format(returnstr, sizeof(returnstr), 'minute');
    } else if (d < 86400) { // 86400 = 1 day
        n = floatround(floatdiv(d, 3600.0), floatround_floor);
        format(returnstr, sizeof(returnstr), 'hour');
    } else if (d < 2592000) { // 2592000 = 1 month
        n = floatround(floatdiv(d, 86400.0), floatround_floor);
        format(returnstr, sizeof(returnstr), 'day');
    } else if (d < 31536000) { // 31536000 = 1 year
        n = floatround(floatdiv(d, 2592000.0), floatround_floor);
        format(returnstr, sizeof(returnstr), 'month');
    } else {
        n = floatround(floatdiv(d, 31536000.0), floatround_floor);
        format(returnstr, sizeof(returnstr), 'year');
    }
    if (n == 1) {
        format(returnstr, sizeof(returnstr), '1 %s', returnstr);
    } else {
        format(returnstr, sizeof(returnstr), '%d %ss', n, returnstr);
    }
    return returnstr;
}
