Re: Trivia Event - CutX - 24.08.2014

pawn Код:

//new bool var
new bool:answered[MAX_PLAERS];

//in your command...
if(answered[playerid]) return SendClientMessage(playerid,-1,"already answered...");
answered[playerid]=true;

don't forget to set it back 2 false after the event

Re: Trivia Event - Team_PRO - 25.08.2014

you can use timers.

Re: Trivia Event - Akcent_Voltaj - 25.08.2014

can you show me like CutX please?

Re: Trivia Event - Team_PRO - 25.08.2014

Here is example

pawn Код:

forward EndTrivia();

Timer for the Trivia:

pawn Код:

ReactionTest[0] = GetTickCount(); //Start Counting Down
timer2[3] = SetTimer("EndTrivia", 10000, false); //Timer for the Trivia, Timer sets to 1 mininute

If no one answers the Trivia:

pawn Код:

public EndTrivia()
{
    switch(typem)
    {
        case 0:
        {
            format(strg, sizeof(strg), "No one won the Trivia the answer is '%d'", answer);
            SendClientMessageToAll(YOUR_COLOR, strg);
        }
        case 1:
        {
            format(strg, sizeof(strg), "No one won the Trivia the answer is '%d'", answer);
            SendClientMessageToAll(YOUR_COLOR, strg);
        }
        case 2:
        {
            format(strg, sizeof(strg), "No one won the Trivia the answer is '%d'", answer);
            SendClientMessageToAll(YOUR_COLOR, strg);
        }
    }
    endm = 0;
    KillTimer(timer2[3]);
    return 1;
}

i am not better in explaining so hope you get my idea

never ever use timers for stuff like this, as it's just a waste of resources.
We can use the Unix timestamp (until January 19, 2038 ) instead.
here's an example of an script which allows the usage of rcon command "word" after the
"start" command has been issued for exactly 1 minute.

pawn Код:

#include <a_samp>

new ev_init;//var holding the timestamp of when "start" cmd has been issued

main(){}

public OnFilterScriptInit()
{
    print("dummy_2 has been loaded!");

    return 1;
}

public OnRconCommand(cmd[])
{
    if(!(strcmp(cmd,"start")))
    {
        ev_init = gettime();//take the current timestamp as start-time
        printf("event started: %d\n",ev_init);
    }
    else if(!(strcmp(cmd,"word")))
    {
        if(((gettime()) - (ev_init)) > 60) print("time is up! can't use that");//if current timestamp - start-time > 60 (1min) then time's up
        else print("works!");//if it's not, this will appear
    }
    return 1;
}

so simply what you need to do is create a variable for the start-time,
fill it with the current timestamp once you start the event and then
everytime when ppls answer just check if the timestamp of when they answered - event-start is greater than 60.
if it is, this means that time's up and you could just return a message saying something like "time is up! these kind of events only last for 1 minute"
