error 021: symbol already defined: "SetTimer" - reckst4r - 02.12.2011

I am getting this error: C:\Users\Thomas\Desktop\gates.pwn(10) : error 021: symbol already defined: "SetTimer"
when trying to compile my automatic gate.

Code:

PHP код:



new mygate;

SetTimer("CheckGate", 1000, true);

forward CheckGate();


public CheckGate()

{

    new mygate_status;

    for(new i;i<MAX_PLAYERS;i++)

    {

        if(!IsPlayerConnected(i)) continue;

        if(IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint(i,10.0,1119.30004883,-1161.19995117,24.29999924))mygate_status=1;

    }

    if(mygate_status)MoveObject(mygate, 1139.30004883,-1161.19995117,24.29999924,2);

    else MoveObject(mygate, 1119.30004883,-1161.19995117,24.29999924, 2);

}

#endif

where is ur settimer function located (callback?)

You need to use SetTimer in a callback, not a random place in the script. I assume from the code you want a repeating timer. You should start the timer in OnGameModeInit.
