A Custom and Modified Kick(playerid); - JaKe Elite - 05.04.2013

A Custom and Modified
Kick(playerid);

Introduction

Since 0.3x, You won't receive any messages anymore before you get kick.
It is because of SA-MP's new security system.

This can be fixed by setting a timer. No not the timer without the parameter settings.
I'm talking about timer with parameter settings by i mean that, i mean SetTimerEx.

Let's get started.

Kick(playerid) Time!!!

pawn Code:

new kick2[MAX_PLAYERS];

forward PlayerKick(playerid);
public PlayerKick(playerid)
{
    Kick(playerid);
    return KillTimer(kick2[playerid]);
}

stock KickEx(playerid, time = 500)
{
    if(time == 0) return print("Error, Time is 0, Cannot run timer with that milesecond!");
    else if(time != 0)
    {
        kick2[playerid] = SetTimerEx("PlayerKick", time, false, "d", playerid);
    }
    return 1;
}

Let's explained them one by one.

pawn Code:

new kick2[MAX_PLAYERS];

//Creates a variable

pawn Code:

forward PlayerKick(playerid);

Forwards the callback PlayerKick in order to avoid warnings when we create public PlayerKick(playerid)

pawn Code:

public PlayerKick(playerid) //gets called after the SetTimerEx's milesecond parameters execute!
{
    Kick(playerid);
        //kicks the player
    return KillTimer(kick2[playerid]); //kills the timer that we run in the stock function KickEx
}

pawn Code:

stock KickEx(playerid, time = 500) //creates a new stock function.

pawn Code:

if(time == 0) return print("Error, Time is 0, Cannot run timer with that milesecond!");

//if the scripter accidentally typed 0 in the time parameter. The system will block it and send a error print!

pawn Code:

else if(time != 0) //if the time parameter is not 0

pawn Code:

kick2[playerid] = SetTimerEx("PlayerKick", time, false, "d", playerid);

//creates a timer, we will gonna kill it later

Explanation Inside

pawn Code:

stock KickEx(playerid, time = 500) 
// can be also done this way :), you're doing it in a hard way huh :)
SetTimerEx("PlayerKick", 500, false, "d", playerid); //put the time inside the timer

@Topic Nice job though. + useful thread,

You can't be serious? The time variable in his code allows players to choose the delay. It's set to 500 as a default value making it an optional parameter

Why stock ?

pawn Code:

#define KickEx(%1) \
    SetTimerEx("PlayerKick", 350, false, "i", (%1))

Why not? Good one, I'll link it up for all those guys who need this.

I don't see a need why you need to kill the (non-repeating) timer.

Re: A Custom and Modified Kick(playerid); - MP2 - 06.04.2013

IIRC you don't need a delay of more than 1 MS (does 0 work)?

#define KickEx_DEFAULT_TIME:500,false,"i",(%0,%1)) (%1),false,"i",(%0))

Of course the better question is - why a macro? That creates multiple copies of the string, and multiple copies of the code. Though the first problem can be solved easily:

pawn Code:

stock const sc_szPlayerKick[] = "PlayerKick";
#define KickEx(%1) SetTimerEx(sc_szPlayerKick,_:KickEx_DEFAULT_TIME:500,false,"i",(%1))
#define KickEx_DEFAULT_TIME:500,false,"i",(%0,%1)) (%1),false,"i",(%0))

That is a MUCH better solution for strings in macros in terms of memory.

Yeah you're right, but I've got the same question as Cell_.
