Timer for announcement - DarknesS1988 - 21.09.2017

Need help about SetTimerEx. I want to set timer on Welcome Message(SendClientAnnouncement). When player join, this message will have to pop up after 10seconds (10000 miliseconds).

Here's the code:

PHP код:



if (PlayerInfo[playerid][pFirstSpawn] == 0)

    {

    PlayerInfo[playerid][pFirstSpawn] = 1;

    SendClientOnScreenText(playerid,MOTD);


    SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_SERVER_MAIN_MSG, "{FF66FF}THIS ISN'T DEATHMATCH - NO RANDOM KILLING!  {FFFFFF}Follow the rules or be {FF0000}Kicked{FFFFFF}!");


format(string, sizeof(string), "Welcome To ~y~%s~n~~b~%s~n~~w~Type ~y~/help~w~, ~y~/rules ~w~or~n~~y~/cmds ~w~For Game Info",ServerInfo[sMapName],PlayerInfo[playerid][pName]);

    SendClientAnnouncement(playerid,string);

    

    

    }//SpawnCheck



    PlayerInfo[playerid][pResume] = 1;

    PlayerInfo[playerid][pSpawn] = 1;


    }//SpectateCheck

    

    }//NPCCheck


    return 1;

}

I know that I need to put this somewhere, but where exactly?

PHP код:



SetTimerEx("WelcomeTimer", 10000, false, "i", playerid);

}

forward WelcomeTimer(playerid);

public WelcomeTimer(playerid)

I will give reputation for help.
Thanks

Put it under OnPlayerConnect if you want to show the message 10 seconds after the player connects to the server. Put it under OnPlayerSpawn if you want to show the message 10 seconds after the player spawns (if you're using the SpawnPlayer function).

Yes, I have onplayerspawn...
You mean like this:

PHP код:



SetTimerEx("WelcomeTimer", 10000, false, "i", playerid);

    }

    forward WelcomeTimer(playerid);

    public WelcomeTimer(playerid)

    {

    format(string, sizeof(string), "Welcome To ~y~%s~n~~b~%s~n~~w~Type ~y~/help~w~, ~y~/rules ~w~or~n~~y~/cmds ~w~For Game Info",ServerInfo[sMapName],PlayerInfo[playerid][pName]);

    SendClientAnnouncement(playerid,string);

but then i got this:

PHP код:



D:\...(11152) : error 029: invalid expression, assumed zero

D:\...(11152) : error 017: undefined symbol "WelcomeTimer"

D:\...(11153) : error 029: invalid expression, assumed zero

D:\...(11153) : error 017: undefined symbol "WelcomeTimer"

D:\...(11173) : error 054: unmatched closing brace ("}")

D:\...(11175) : error 010: invalid function or declaration

Do you have this part inside OnPlayerSpawn?

pawn Код:

forward WelcomeTimer(playerid);
    public WelcomeTimer(playerid)
    {
    format(string, sizeof(string), "Welcome To ~y~%s~n~~b~%s~n~~w~Type ~y~/help~w~, ~y~/rules ~w~or~n~~y~/cmds ~w~For Game Info",ServerInfo[sMapName],PlayerInfo[playerid][pName]);
    SendClientAnnouncement(playerid,string);

If you do, remove it from there and put it elsewhere, outside of a callback.

Better yet, post your OnPlayerSpawn callback here.

Great. For future reference, whenever you are declaring a function, you must not but it inside a callback. Always put it ouside the callback.
