How to fast forward timelapse In-Game - bencesz - 12.06.2017

Hey guys, I want to show you how to fast forward timelapse In-Game as I haven't found any tutorials according this. This is my first tutorial, I'll hope you can understand and make a use of it. It's just a simple use of timers and variables.

What can you use it for?

-It can be useful on roleplay servers (you can pay realistic amounts for players for 6-,8-,12 hours of in-game work - which can be 1 or 2 hours in real life for example).
-You can make a slowed down timelapse (compared to singleplayer, like GTA 4's or 5's).

In this tutorial I'll show you how to make 1 In-Game hour pass by 15 minutes in real life with the use of a variable and a simple timer.

First off, we have to declare 2 variables on the top of our script:

PHP Code:



new worldtime;        //we will use this to set and increase worldtime with the help of our timer

new timelapseTimer;        //timer

After this, we have to set the world time under OnGameModeInit. Basically, this will be the starting time of our server.

PHP Code:



public OnGameModeInit()

{

    worldtime = 6;        // giving the value of the variable -> the starting time to be set

    SetWorldTime(worldtime);        // will set the in-game time to the previously given value ^

    timelapseTimer = SetTimer("Timelapse", 1000 * 900, 1);        // a 15-minute (900 sec) timer, repeating true (1) to continue and provide later timelapse. A higher interval will slow down, a lower one will fasten timelapse.

    return 1;

}

Now we are forwarding and using a public function:

PHP Code:



forward Timelapse();

public Timelapse()

{

    worldtime++;        // after 15 minutes, our variable's value is increased by 1

    if(worldtime == 24) worldtime = 0;        // we have to reset worldtime, because the SA:MP world time ranges from 0 to 23

    SetWorldTime(worldtime);        // success! with 15 minutes spent in real life, in game we already spent 1 hour.

    SendClientMessageToAll(0xFFFFFFAA, "One hour has passed.");

    return 1; // return 1, to continue

}

Finally, kill the timer under OnGameModeExit()

PHP Code:



public OnGameModeExit()

{

    KillTimer(timelapseTimer);

    return 1;

}

In one piece:

PHP Code:



#include <a_samp>


new worldtime;

new timelapseTimer;


forward Timelapse();

public Timelapse()

{

    worldtime++;

    if(worldtime == 24) worldtime = 0;

    SetWorldTime(worldtime);

    SendClientMessageToAll(0xFFFFFFAA, "One hour has passed.");

    return 1;

}

public OnGameModeInit()

{

    worldtime = 6;

    SetWorldTime(worldtime);

    timelapseTimer = SetTimer("Timelapse", 1000 * 900, 1);

    return 1;

}


public OnGameModeExit()

{

    KillTimer(timelapseTimer);

    return 1;

}

PHP Code:



public OnGameModeExit() 
{ 
    KillTimer(timelapseTimer) 
    return 1; 
}

You forgot " ; "

A bit simple, but nonetheless will help others who are beginners.
