SetTimer have delay - Koala818 - 30.04.2014

Hi and thanks that you wasted your time and looked at my thread first of all

.

Ok, so i'm tryin' to make a RP gamemode and i have a problem with the PayDay system. I made a timer, that activates another timer at the next minute:00 and the last activated timer is set on repeat, so basically it should call my function at every minute:00. Here is my code:

Код:

public OnGameModeInit()
{
	new h,mi,s;
	gettime(h,mi,s);
	SetTimer("setminutetime", 60000-(s*1000), 0);
}
public setminutetime()
{
	MinuteTime();
    MinuteTimer = 		SetTimer ( "MinuteTime" , 60000 , 1 ) ;
    return 1;
}
public MinuteTime()
{
    print("peleme");
    new Ora, Minut, Secunde;
    gettime ( Ora , Minut , Secunde );
    if(Minut == 0){
    		foreach (Player , i) {
			if ( IsPlayerConnected(i) == 1 ) PayDay ( i ) ;
		}
	}
}

It should give the PayDay to players at all hours:00:00, but the problems is that i've got a delay. I know that Timers use resources but i don't know how else could i give the payday to players at all :00 hours.

Here's the serverlog:

As you can see the function gets called after more than a minute every time. Some ideas? :-s

Timers have a delay offset of about 25%. You can use Slice's timer fix or the fixes2 plugin to get better accuracy.

Woah, they should really specify this on wiki.sa-mp.com. I investigated this for some time and i tought that my code was consuming too many resources, so that's why it has an offset. After i included Slice's timerfix i've got exactly what i wanted:
