A tricky one (funcname[]) - Lookin - 13.03.2013

im curious about is
is it possible to remove the "funcname[]) from SetTimer(funcname[], interval, repeating)

for a simple and clear example

from
SetTimer(funcname[], interval, repeating)
to
SetTimer(interval, repeating)

thanks in advance

Lookin

EDIT: btw im just curious Timers have nothing to do with why im wondering it was just the simplest code so that there where no hassles in the question

Set a timer to do what? You're not making any sense.

Re: A tricky one (funcname[]) - Dan.. - 13.03.2013

#define SetMyTimer(%1,%2) SetTimer(#MyTimer,%1,%2)

If that's what you mean.

That doesn't make sense either.

Timers execute the code in a function after a set interval. Setting a timer without specifying the function is like displaying a transparent textdraw to a player!

Re: A tricky one (funcname[]) - cessil - 13.03.2013

you could use a blank function name, however why not tell us the real reason you're wondering

Re: A tricky one (funcname[]) - Lookin - 13.03.2013

ok.
for example:
I wanted to make a timer include that made one timer work like

pawn Код:

ST(S(5), 1); // 5 seconds

rather than

pawn Код:

SetTimer(funcname[], interval, repeating)

im just using

pawn Код:

SetTimer(interval, repeating)

so that i can have multiple functions using just one timer
like this

pawn Код:

public DoSomeThingHere1()
{
    SendClientMessageToAll(LIGHT_BLUE,"MSG1");
    ST(S(5),1); //5 seconds
    return 1;
}

public DoSomeThingHere2()
{
    SendClientMessageToAll(LIGHT_BLUE,"MSG2");
    ST(S(5),1); //5 seconds
    return 1;
}

also was going to add in a question, may as well do it here. how would i make processing cmds and timers to read and write faster?

Re: A tricky one (funcname[]) - Vince - 13.03.2013

Isn't that exactly what y_timers does?

Re: A tricky one (funcname[]) - Lookin - 13.03.2013

I have no idea ive never looked at the inc

anyways im just wondering if it can be done or not ive never said im working on anything

There are multiple libraries for that - the most famous is probably ZCMD, but I'd say y_commands (and y_timers for timers).

Ok

public DoSomeThingHere2()
{
SendClientMessageToAll(LIGHT_BLUE,"MSG2");
ST(S(5),1); //only starts the timer in this function for the duration the function is called
return 1;
}

so that all it needs to do is count to the set amount of time (in this case S(5)) this function is used for rather than use a public and function name, all it knows is to use this function for the time set

And i didnt really plan it out or anything i was just curious if it was possible.
