Timer help? - Kruno88 - 13.04.2017

How do I set a simple timer that calculates the time it took you to go from place A to place B?
Like:
Код:
It took you 43 seconds to finish the race

Just start a repeating 1 second timer and set a PVar. If he enters the last checkpoint kill the timer and show the PVar.

Simple as that.

Oh,nice idea.
I'll know how to make that (no sarcasm)

Don't forget to DeletePVar just to be sure

How about gettime() ? It returns timestamp in seconds. Save that, when race starts. Then when race ends get time stamp again and subtract the one you saved from it.
pawn Код:
new curTime = gettime();
new timeTaken = gettime() - curTime;
All you have to do now is convert that timeTaken from seconds to format you need (probably Minutes:Seconds)

I was thinking about the timestamp option too and i think its a better one.

You can also assign a timer to a callback which increments a variable by one every second.

Код:
new raceTimer[MAX_PLAYERS];
new raceTime[MAX_PLAYERS];

forward CountSeconds (playerid);

public CountSeconds (playerid)
{
	raceTime[playerid]++;
	return 1;
}
When the race starts, do the following:

Код:
raceTimer[playerid] = SetTimerEx("CountSeconds", 1000, true, "i", playerid);
When the race ends, do the following:

Код:
KillTimer (raceTimer[playerid]);
new string[256];
format (string, sizeof(string), "ID %i took %i seconds to complete the race!", playerid, raceTime[playerid]);
SendClientMessageToAll (-1, string);
raceTime[playerid] = 0;

PHP код:
//Start race
SetPVarInt(playerid,"RaceTime",gettime());
//End race
printf("you were %d seconds on the street.",gettime()-GetPVarInt(playerid,"RaceTime"));
