Clock Troubles - StrickenKid - 15.07.2009

whats the best way to sync the game clock? right now i have a 1000 mil sec (1 sec) timer setting the second ++ every second to make sure all players clocks are synced... but the sky flashes allot and its really annoying... is there any way to fix this / better way to sync the clock?

i also had it synced to every minute before, but within that minute all the cocks get off of sync.....

any ideas?

i guess no one has any ideas

AFAIK the player clock that is used in single-player can only count minutes as real-life seconds (and hours as real-life minutes) and there's no changing that. So if you wanted it to be real-time, the clock would keep trying to increase 1 minute every second and you would have to reset it constantly for it to be accurate.

That's why I would just disable the player clock, create a textdraw that looks similar to the player clock, and use TextDrawSetString to update it.

I'm not too sure why your sky would flash though. Post your code?

BUMB!

Having the same problem, my clock makes the sky flash 2, and realy like every second (ANOYING! )

Here is my code, hope you guys can figure out why the sky flashes, (it would be a miracle)

somewhere in OnGameModeInit()
pawn Код:
SetTimer("ClockSync", 1000, 1);
bit furder down in my code

pawn Код:
forward ClockSync(playerid);
public ClockSync(playerid)
{
  new string[128];
  Minute = Minute + 1;
  if (Minute == 60)
  {
    Time = Time + 1;
    Minute = 0;
  }
  if (Time == 24)
  {
        Time = 0;
    }
  for(new i; i<MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
  SetPlayerTime(i, Time, Minute);
  format(string, sizeof(string), "The time [%d] [%d]", Time, Minute);
  //print(string); // testing only.
  
  print("achtenveertigste bericht - tot hier ok");

  
  return 1;
}

I suggest you not to use SetPlayerTime. SetWorldTime is better, it doesn't need to be synced and the time doesn't go until you do SetWorldTime once again.

Re: Clock Troubles - Rizard - 30.09.2009

How are you suggesting me to use SetWorldTime(hour); since it only has one param ?

Weather does not actually differ a lot during 1 hour. So you can make your own clock with textdraw and use gettime(); to set minutes and hours(+SetWorldTime) to that textdraw.

Re: Clock Troubles - Rizard - 30.09.2009

Ok, so you're saying, I should just make my own textdraw and each hour(rl minute) set the world time so the weather changes with it?

Fine by me but, anyone has the coцrdinates of a textdraw at the spot of the playertime? (right-top corner)

Ohai rizzy

I just wonder. Why should your string be posted in the console?

That would spam it alot unneccesary
