Timers - CoDeZ - 06.07.2012

Fast question , why at most of game modes , when a timer is created , you have to use Killtimer on gamemodeexit?
Wouldn't it already kill it self?
Explain it please.

pawn Код:

// Top of GM

new TimerKilling;

// Timer

TimerKilling = SetTimerEx(....);

// OnGameModeExit

KillTimer(TimerKilling);

To kill the timer, you have to define a variable.

From what I read of his doubts OnGameModeExit you said, but you can kill him in any public.

He's asking why not how!

@ Question: Yes, I think it gets killed already on exit. So you don't have to kill it OnGameModeExit (That's how all my codes go, I never had to kill a timer on exit).

if u are going to change a gamemode like /rcon changemode then if the timer isn't killed or stopped then it will be running. But i donot kill timers but yes if it is related to players like SetTimer used at OnPlayerConnect then i destroy or kill it at OnPlayerDisconnect.
That's what all i know
