A question about y_timers - RedGun2015 - 10.08.2017

I want to do a global timer, but i don't know how to use y_timers, for now i'm using SetTimerEx and Public function, but i want to change.

I want to be constantly called (every 1 second)

I have this in my gamemode:

Code:

OnGameModeInit:
global_timer = SetTimer("timerglobal", 1000, 1);

GameModeExitFunc:
KillTimer(unjailtimer);

////

forward timerglobal
public timerglobal()
{
....
return 1;
}

And i changed like this:

Code:

OnGameModeInit:
defer global_timer();

GameModeExitFunc:
stop global_timer();

////

task global_timer[1000]()
{
....
}

Is it ok how did I replace or something is wrong?

Task is different than timer. It runs always, no need to start it manually with defer (alto this means you can't stop it). If you are doing a loop of players in your global_timer, then ptask is right for you
