Does if(TIMER_RUNNING[playerid]) detect if a timer is running? - rangerxxll - 30.10.2015

I've been really curious to see if this is an efficient way to see if a timer is active, or not. Because I'm using it under OnPlayerGiveDamage and it works fine for killing variables. However, when I used it for a splint system (I was detecting if the bandage timer was running, that way the player couldn't use a splint) it didn't work for detecting that.

Example:

pawn Код:

if(TIMER_BANDAGE[playerid])
{
SCM(pid,COLOR, "You can't use this with the bandage timer running");
return 1;

}

^ This code does not work, however:

pawn Код:

if(TIMER_FISH[damagedid] || TIMER_PICKUPLOOT[damagedid] || TIMER_COOKING[damagedid] || TIMER_FIRE[damagedid]

Seems to work fine.

There is no IsTimerValid or sth like that, therefore you need to reset your timer variables to -1 ( since 0 can also be used as a timer. ), and check to see if they are -1

Timer IDs start at 1, the wiki is wrong.

PHP код:



if(timerid > 0) //timer called, it is not known whether the active

PHP код:



if(TIMER_BANDAGE[playerid] > 0) //timer called, it is not known whether the active

PHP код:





new bool:YouTimerActive = false;


public YouTimerFunction(){

    YouTimerActive = true;

    

    //code

    

    YouTimerActive = false;

    //repeat

    return 1;

}


if(YouTimerActive){

    //timer executed

}
