timer between pickups? - Stroker - 12.06.2014

Hey everyone, is it possible to place a timer between pickups? So it won't be rapidately spammed?

Re: timer between pickups? - DavidBilla - 12.06.2014

if you are talking about same pickup reappearing after each time you pick it up,yes there is a way.

when you create a pickup,assign a name to it.
example

pawn Код:

//under ongamemodeinit
new weaponpickup;
weaponpickup = CreatePickup(..........);

pawn Код:

//under OnPlayerPickupPickup
if(pickupid == weaponpickup)
{
   GivePlayerWeapon(playerid,24,100);
   DestroyPickup(weaponpickup);
   SetTimerEx(......)
}

pawn Код:

//under the timer's function
weaponpickup = CreatePickup(..........);

This will kinda cycle it,it'll keep reoccuring according to the time you set in the timer.

Well thanks, but it's not what I am asking for, I meant like..you have to wait around 5 seconds between entering pickups, which will prevent spam aswell

Start a non-repeating Timer as soon as a player picks up a certain pickup.
Set a variable on 1, when the player has picked up the pickup and reset the variable in the timer function.
Under OnPlayerPickUpPickup, ask for the pickupid and whether the variable is 0 or 1.

Re: timer between pickups? - Threshold - 15.06.2014

pawn Код:

#define PICKUP_DELAY 5
//This means you want 5 second delays between pickups. You can change this to whatever you want.
new LastPickup[MAX_PLAYERS];

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    LastPickup[playerid] = 0; //Reset the LastPickup for the player.
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerPickUpPickup(playerid, pickupid)
{
    if((gettime() - LastPickup[playerid]) < PICKUP_DELAY) return 1;
    if(pickupid == 1) //Example
    {
        //Your code
    }
    LastPickup[playerid] = gettime();
    return 1;
}

The #define and new LastPickup would have to be at the top of your script.

pawn Код:

if((gettime() - LastPickup[playerid]) < PICKUP_DELAY) return 1;

This line prevents the code from continuing if it hasn't been 5 seconds since their last pickup.
