How do I make it wait for 3 seconds? - ExtendedCarbon - 08.09.2013

I have a respawn vehicle code set up, but when they exit the vehicle it respawns right away, causing the player to get trapped. I want it to wait for about 3 seconds before respawning the vehicle to give the player enough time to move.

Код:

public OnPlayerExitVehicle(playerid, vehicleid)
{
    for(new i = 0; i < MAX_VEHICLES; i++)
        {
         SetVehicleToRespawn(i);
        }
	return 1;
}

Use a timer is my advice. https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/SetTimerEx

I looked through it, but it looks complicated to bend it to what I want to do. Could you provide me with an example?

No, it's not!

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerExitVehicle(playerid, vehicleid)
{
    SetTimerEx("OnPlayerVehicleRespawn", 3000, false, "i", vehicleid);
    return 1;
}

forward OnPlayerVehicleRespawn(vehicleid);
public OnPlayerVehicleRespawn(vehicleid)
{
    SetVehicleToRespawn(vehicleid);
}

You used a for loop to respawn all the vehicles everytime a player exits the vehicle. It'd be better to respawn the one they exited after 3 seconds. The rest will be respawned by the respawn delay.

public OnPlayerExitVehicle(playerid, vehicleid)
{
    SetTimerEx("RespawnCar",3000,0,"i",vehicleid);// Set a 3 second timer
    return 1;
}
forward RespawnCar(vehicleid);
public RespawnCar(vehicleid)
{
    SetVehicleToRespawn(vehicleid);
    return 1;
}

EDIT: Konstantinos beat me to it ;P

Thank you both! I think I'm getting there.

CreateVehicle(modelid, Float: x, Float:y, Float:z, Float:angle, color1, color2, respawn_delay - The delay until the car is respawned without a driver in seconds);
or
AddStaticVehicleEx(modelid, Float: x, Float:y, Float:z, Float:angle, color1, color2, respawn_delay - The delay until the car is respawned without a driver in seconds);

When player exit from behicle after x seconds vehicle will be respawned.
