I have this function set up to a tiimer to actively scan if the player is in a given checkpoint, problem is, it always returns 0, even though I use the same coordinates for a command that requires that space and that works fine. The value that's passed through the timer and into the function isn't being read either. Any ideas?

The command "/robauto" works as it should, it executes when you're in given checkpoint and doesn't if you aren't. What's up? Also the countdownfrom doesn't stay over. Forgive me for the sloppyness, I kinda tore it up trying to fix it :L

Also, is it normal for it to report playerid as 105 when I'm the only player in the server? I'd expect the player id to be 0. What's going on here?

[Pottus]

robberytimers[playerid] = SetTimerEx("setcounter", 1000, true, "i", "i", playerid, countdownfrom);

robberytimers[playerid] = SetTimerEx("setcounter", 1000, true, "ii", playerid, countdownfrom);

[JackBurgani]

Wow, thanks! Never would've guessed that.

[JackBurgani]

It does bring me up to another problem, the counter value freezes when I try to decrement it by 1, this fixes if I get rid of the countdown values altogether and declare it globally, but I really don't want to do it that way. Any way to declare the variable locally and have the setcounter not keep resetting the value? Thanks in advanced

Why don't you use OnPlayerEnterCheckpoint/OnPlayerLeaveCheckpoint? Or the streamer equivalent?

[JackBurgani]

Scratch that, I think I get what you're saying, could you explain what you meant by streamer equivalent or give a link?
