Timers - Mr.Valdez - 24.06.2013

I completely have no clue how SetTimer works and i can't wrap my head around how the samp wiki explains it, i dont understand how to put it into a command etc. could anyone explain it with examples please? it will be much appreciated.

SetTimer("message", 1000, false);

message - your name of your function ( need a public + forward )

1000 - the timer of 1000 miliseconds ( 1 second )

false -its repeating,if the timer should repeatedly or only once

SetTimerEx - Is setting the timer with more parameters,example for one player

i really dont know how to explain this in other version .. i think wiki it says good xd

I'll try to explain from what I believe you ask for.

pawn Code:

new timer = SetTimerEx("KickInactivePlayers",1000*60*10,true,playerid);

forward KickInactivePlayers(playerid);
public KickInactivePlayers(playerid)
{
     if(!IsPlayerActive(playerid)) Kick(playerid);
     return 1;
}

Where "1000*60*10" is actually:

Code:

1000 milliseconds * 60 (= 1 minute) * 10 (= 10 minutes)

Anytime you need to cancel this timer, just use:

pawn Code:

KillTimer(timer);

And ofcourse you'd have to state a function for:

pawn Code:

IsPlayerActive(playerid)

Hope it helps!
