How To Script.. - xRadical3 - 22.03.2018

How to script for example at 6 o'clock and give all the Online players a message that is now 6 o'clock and gives the Online players some money?

use settimer

If need I make a base.

There can be multiple approaches to this:

1. (Do not try approach) Run a timer every few seconds and get the time and compare it to 6 and then give them some money.
2. (Efficient approach) On server start, get current time and minutes, do calculation and get the time when 6'o clock "will happen", set a timer with the "time" you got and tadaah!!! you made it.

I'll assume you have time changes scripted somehow, because the other way it's weird.
In my script e.g. I have a timer for each second, just as Logic_ wouldn't advice as of before:

Код:

1. (Do not try approach) Run a timer every few seconds and get the time and compare it to 6 and then give them some money.

In this case, I just check for what time is it every time this function called upon a timer is done. Naturally, in this case I might want to make the timer looped.

Код:

new Hour, Minute, Second;
gettime(Hour, Minute, Second);
...
if(Hour == 6 && Minute == 0 && Second == 0) //The other way around, well... You'll get the action done every second of an hour, which means 3599 actions you didn't want to happen.
{
     //Do actions required
}
...

Your personal approach only depends on you though. What I wrote above might not be the best way in means of performance, just like Logic_ stated.

I do this under OnGameModeInit:

PHP код:



    new minutes;

    gettime(gHour, minutes);

    minutes = 60 - minutes;

    SetTimer("ClockTimer", (minutes * 60000) + 5000, false);

    SetWorldTime(gHour);

So every time server restarts, it does some calculation and set's a timer when the next hour "will happen". And then I do:

PHP код:



forward ClockTimer();

public ClockTimer()

{

    new string[25];

    gettime(gHour);

    

    format(string, sizeof string, "The time is now %d:00.", gHour);

    SendClientMessageToAll(COLOR_GREY, string);

    

    SetTimer("ClockTimer", 3600000, true); // That interval = 1 hour but in milliseconds.

    return 1;

}

The difference might be of 1 minute but that won't hurt.

EDIT: I've defined my variable 'gHour' on the top of the script.
