SetTimer problem? - Tigerbeast11 - 24.08.2011

SetTimer doesn't work!

Under OnGameModeInIt()

pawn Code:

SetTimer("Timers",1000,1);

pawn Code:

forward Timers();
public Timers()
{
    printf("testing...");
    /*if(GameMinutes > 0 || GameSeconds > 0)
    {
        GameSeconds--;
        if(GameSeconds == -1)
        {
            GameMinutes--;
            GameSeconds = 59;
        }
    }
    if(GameMinutes == 0 && GameSeconds == 0)
    {
        OnGameModeExit();
    }
    new tmpstr[50]; //Accommodate for string size
    format(tmpstr,sizeof(tmpstr),"%02d:%02d",GameMinutes,GameSeconds);
    TextDrawSetString(Timer,tmpstr);*/
    return 1;
}

But the timer doesn't run. It doesn't print "testing..." every second on the server host screen. What have I done wrong?

Re: SetTimer problem? - SmileyForCheat - 24.08.2011

it's not show in samp-server.exe

Re: SetTimer problem? - iMonk3y - 24.08.2011

I don't see any problem there... post the whole OnGameModeInit, maybe then we can figure out the problem.

Re: SetTimer problem? - =WoR=G4M3Ov3r - 24.08.2011

Remove the /* and the */

Re: SetTimer problem? - Tigerbeast11 - 24.08.2011

pawn Code:

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    // Don't use these lines if it's a filterscript
    SetGameModeText("Call Of Duty: 5");
    
    AddPlayerClass(285, 1958.3783, 1343.1572, 15.3746, 269.1425, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); //Swats

    Timer = TextDrawCreate(86.000000,427.000000,"15:00");
    TextDrawAlignment(Timer,2);
    TextDrawBackgroundColor(Timer,0x000000ff);
    TextDrawFont(Timer,3);
    TextDrawLetterSize(Timer,0.499999,2.000000);
    TextDrawColor(Timer,0xffffffff);
    TextDrawSetOutline(Timer,1);
    TextDrawSetProportional(Timer,1);
    TextDrawSetShadow(Timer,1);

    SetTimer("Timers",1000,1);
    return 1;
}

It doesn't say "testing..." in samp-server.exe or something

Keep this

PHP Code:



public Timers()

{

    printf("testing...");

You showed us what you had OnGameModeInit, Keep the printf you had under it.

I didn't have printf under OnGameModeInIt()

I had it under a callback. Here's what my script looks like:

pawn Code:

new GameMinutes = 14;
new GameSeconds = 59;
new Text:Timer;

public OnGameModeInit()
{
    // Don't use these lines if it's a filterscript

    AddPlayerClass(285, 1958.3783, 1343.1572, 15.3746, 269.1425, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); //Swats

    SetTimer("Timers",1000,true);

            GameMinutes--;
            GameSeconds = 59;
        }
    }
    if(GameMinutes == 0 && GameSeconds == 0)
    {
        OnGameModeExit();
    }
    new tmpstr[50]; //Accommodate for string size
    format(tmpstr,sizeof(tmpstr),"%02d:%02d",GameMinutes,GameSeconds);
    TextDrawSetString(Timer,tmpstr);
    return 1;
}

The SetTimer function doesn't work though

Alright, put this under OnGameModeInit.

PHP Code:



printf("testing...");

For the SetTimer put it like this

PHP Code:



SetTimer("Timers",1000,false); // 1000 Miliseconds (1 second)

Re: SetTimer problem? - =WoR=Varth - 24.08.2011

Put print inside your OnGameModeInit andd see whether your OnGameModeInit is called or not.

Re: SetTimer problem? - Tigerbeast11 - 24.08.2011

No, I want to test the timer. SetTimer doesn't work and I was checking to see why. My script so far should print "testing..." every second on the server.exe but it doesn't which means there is a probem with the timer.

Re: SetTimer problem? - =WoR=G4M3Ov3r - 24.08.2011

PHP Code:



public OnGameModeInit()

{

    print("Testing...");

    SetTimer("message", 1000, false); // Set a timer of 1000 miliseconds (1 second)

}

Try this

Re: SetTimer problem? - Tigerbeast11 - 24.08.2011

I'm sorry, you are not understanding...

The SetTimer function doesn't initiate this call back:

pawn Code:

public Timers()

The timer doesn't trigger this function. Do you understand, or do you need me to explain a bit more?

Re: SetTimer problem? - iMonk3y - 24.08.2011

I've tested your code and everything is working fine...

Re: SetTimer problem? - Tigerbeast11 - 24.08.2011

Not for me

So did I.

Re: SetTimer problem? - Generation-X - 24.08.2011

Post the whole script and we'll test it.

If it works, it's your problem now.
