All global timers stop working while longer server uptime - Daveosss - 05.08.2016

Hello, I have bunch of "global" timers in my gamemode, but there's a bug that appeared few days ago. When my server is up for 5-10 hours, all the "SetTimer" timers suddenly stop, even though "SetTimerEx" timers keep on working properly. There are no warnings/errors in compiler or serverlog. Someone who knows why this happens?

Timers in OnGameModeInIt:

PHP код:



    SetTimer("afkcheck", 1000, 0);

    SetTimer("CheckBalon", 1500, true);

    SetTimer("ObnovaBalicku", 7200000, true);

    SetTimer("ObnovaWantedu", 600000, true);

    SetTimer("Pocasi", 3600000, true);

    SetTimer("Bedny", 1800000, true);

    SetTimer("CheckBrana", 1500, true);

    SetTimer("CheckKartac", 150, true);

    SetTimer("CheckMicky", 1500, true);

    SetTimer("DespawnVehicles", 3000, true);

    SetTimer("ExportVeh", 3600000, true);

    SetTimer("StartExportVeh", 1500, false);

    SetTimer("Vysilac", 30000, true);

    SetTimer("RandomZpravy", 600000, true);

    SetTimer("SmazaniBodcu", 300000, true);

    SetTimer("burglarcheck", 1500, true);

    SetTimer("UzemiCheck", 1500, true);

    SetTimer("CheckPlane", 1500, true);

    SetTimer("CheckTime", 1500, true);

    SetTimer("Check82", 1500, true);

    SetTimer("Check83", 1500, true);

    SetTimer("CheckCar", 10000, true);

    SetTimer("SetCas", 1000, true);

    SetTimer("AfkKick", 1500, true);

    SetTimer("Vezeni2", 1500, true);

    SetTimer("Timer", 1000, true);

    SetTimer("FlasherFunc", 200, true);

    SetTimer("MizeniPlosin", 1500, true);

There are few more "global" timers in my gamemode, but not different than these in OnGameModeInIt.

How many of them are used to loop through players? You can easily merge a few together to reduce the amount of timers.

Around 11 of them use loop, I'll try it.

Why do you need so many global timers? The timer "Timer" is very self explanatory.

Re: All global timers stop working while longer server uptime - Daveosss - 05.08.2016

Alright, I've merged most of the global timers together.

Well, I don't really get what this explains.

It's probably because all of them will at one time converge because they're all multiples of 100. If possible, use primes for timer intervals.

Ok, thanks for advice.

Many timers will cause a huge lag in the server

What does "Timer" do? You're the first I've seen that calls a timer, Timer. It doesn't really explain what it does. But the real question is, why do you have so much timers? What are they all for?

I've already decreased the number of global timers.

Timer "Timer" was controling server time. I had a lot of timers, because I liked when the every single piece of code was seperated and put in its own public. Gamemode looked cleaner.

Anyway, I did everything you guys recommended to me and server is running for 7 hours without any bugged timer. Hopefully, it's going to work now. Thanks for your time (rep+)
