SetTimerEx problem - FTLOG - 28.12.2011

Hello.

I have a little problem, and i'm desperate with this already - Everthing i tried failed, so i'm asking here for help. Here's the deal.

I do this in one of my custom functions -

Код:

SetTimerEx( "MovingCamera", MOVING_CAMERA_FPS, true, "i", playerid );

It's a 50 millisecond timer which moves camera around player during the tutorial, so it's critical that i kill it at some point. But the timer won't even start. However, if i do -

Код:

SetTimerEx( "MovingCamera", MOVING_CAMERA_FPS, true, "i", playerid ), SetTimerEx( "MovingCamera", MOVING_CAMERA_FPS, true, "i", playerid );

It works for some reason. Until the point where i got to kill it, then it won't stop. I tried debuging it with printf's and messages and the timer won't start if i do SetTimerEx just once. No errors, warnings, nothing.

I tried it with y_timers too, and it just won't start.

I think this is SetTimerEx bug, because even if do

Код:

MovingCamera( playerid ) { print( "It works!" ); return true; }

nothing happens.

Has anyone got any experience on this?

It could be the timer itself, post it's code.

Re: SetTimerEx problem - FTLOG - 28.12.2011

I don't think so, because, as i said, it won't execute even the print function, nothing. Here is the code anyway.

Код:

function MovingCamera( playerid ) {

	RotateCameraAroundPoint( playerid, ServerInfo[ MainSpawnX ], ServerInfo[ MainSpawnY ], ServerInfo[ MainSpawnZ ], 2, 10, 3 );
	return true;
}

And then this function

Код:

RotateCameraAroundPoint( playerid, Float:X, Float:Y, Float:Z, Offset_X, Offset_Y, Offset_Z ) {

	SetPlayerCameraPos( playerid, X - Offset_X * floatsin( - PlayerInfoEx[ playerid ][ CameraSpawnAngle ], degrees ), Y - Offset_Y * floatcos( - PlayerInfoEx[ playerid ][ CameraSpawnAngle ], degrees ), Z + Offset_Z );
	SetPlayerCameraLookAt( playerid, X, Y, Z + 0.5 );

	PlayerInfoEx[ playerid ][ CameraSpawnAngle ] += 0.5;

	if( PlayerInfoEx[ playerid ][ CameraSpawnAngle ] >= 360.0) PlayerInfoEx[ playerid ][ CameraSpawnAngle ] = 0.0;

	return true;
}

Well there's your problem, it's not "function" its "public"

Код:

forward MovingCamera(playerid);
public MovingCamera( playerid ) {

	RotateCameraAroundPoint( playerid, ServerInfo[ MainSpawnX ], ServerInfo[ MainSpawnY ], ServerInfo[ MainSpawnZ ], 2, 10, 3 );
	return true;
}

'function' is just a macro, so i don't have to forward every public -

Код:

#define function%0(%1)                             forward %0(%1); public %0(%1)

I am absolutely sure that this is related to SetTimerEx not passing a correct value, playerid. Even though this has never happened to me before.

Show where you set and kill the timers.
