Questions - SpaceRP - 05.03.2017

What is better to use gettime() or gettickcount() and why?

Re: Questions - Runn3R - 05.03.2017

GetTickCount - Returns the uptime of the actual server (not the SA-MP server) in milliseconds.

gettime - The function itself returns a Unix Timestamp.

It depends what are you working on if you want to limit a player so he can't talk for a half a second because he was spamming before then u se gettickcount, if you want to limit a player function for an amount of seconds like /report use gettime() + seconds

gettickcount() returns UP TIME of host(operation system)
Example: 24h, 3 days, 13 weeks etc

gettime() returns CURRENT TIME of host(operation system) in TIMESTAMP...
Example: 172635447 means 11:10:01, 134534235 means 07:00:23 etc
