I found tutorial for counting, but i have errors

Quote:

public CountDown() { countvar--; new str[128]; if(countvar == 0) { KillTimer(CountDownTimer); countvar = 4; } else { format(str, sizeof(str), "%d", CountDownTimer); GameTextForAll(str, 1000, 1); } }

ERRORS:

You are not defining the variable 'countvar'.

[Heress]

are you talking about this?

new countvar[4];

[ReD_HunTeR]

pawn Code:

new countvar[4];

change it to this

pawn Code:

new countvar;

Thanks

PHP Code:


new countvar=4;//Top on script
forward CountDOwn();
public CountDown()
{
       if(countvar != 0)
       {
                countvar--;
                new str[128];
                if(countvar == 0)
                {
                        KillTimer(CountDownTimer);
                        countvar = 4;
                }
                else
                {
                         format(str, sizeof(str), "%d", CountDownTimer);
                         GameTextForAll(str, 1000, 1);
                }
       }
}

Like nobody noticed he's formatting the timer's variable? Come on.

pawn Code:

format(str, sizeof(str), "%d", CountDownTimer);

The tutorial you got this code from is wrong, you should format countvar.

And you don't need 128 cells for just a decimal number, I've changed it to 6, I don't expect from someone to call a countdown for an hour or more, but feel free to increase it if you want.

Final code:

pawn Code:

#include <a_samp>

new countvar = 10;
new CountDownTimer;

public OnFilterScriptInit()
{
    CountDownTimer = SetTimer("CountDown", 1000, true);
    return 1;
}

forward CountDown();
public CountDown()
{
    countvar--;
    new str[6];
    if(countvar == 0)
    {
        KillTimer(CountDownTimer);
        countvar = 4;
    }
    else
    {
        format(str, sizeof(str), "%d", countvar);
        GameTextForAll(str, 1000, 1);
        // uncoment this if you want to test it without getting in game -- printf("%d", countvar); 
    }
}

When i use command to count on screen show number 2 but it disapear and dont count

[TheToretto]

On the tutorial, he gave the third argument the value false, which means it won't repeat. That's not what you need, activate it:

pawn Code:

CountDownTimer = SetTimer("CountDown", 1000, true);

And if you wan't a 3 seconds countdown, countvar shouldn't be 3, but 4 because it's decrementing its value before formatting. You can fix that but it's not that urgent.

[Heress]

now my code look:

Quote:

public CountDown() { if(countvar !=0) { countvar--; new str[6]; if(countvar == 0) { KillTimer(CountDownTimer); countvar = 4; } else { format(str, sizeof(str), "%d", countvar); GameTextForAll(str, 1000, 1); } } } CMDkaiciuoti(playerid, params[]) { if(sInfo[playerid][adminlevel] > 4) { CountDownTimer = SetTimer("CountDown", 1000, true); SetPlayerRaceCheckpoint(playerid, 1, -77.6183, 2501.9719, 15.4608, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 50.0); return 1; } else { SendClientMessage(playerid, RAUDONA, "Komanda neegzistuoja arba Jūs neturite privilegijų!"); } return 1; }

And when i used the cmd i have 9 number on screen then it change to 2 and dissapear

[TheToretto]

Check this: GameText Styles

Style 1: Fades out after 8 seconds, regardless of time set. If you have a time setting longer than that, it will re-appear after fading out and repeat until the time ends.

So use another one, for example 5.

pawn Code:

#include <a_samp>
#include <zcmd>

new countvar = 10;
new CountDownTimer;

CMD:countdown(playerid, params[])
{
    CountDownTimer = SetTimer("CountDown", 1000, true);
    SetPlayerRaceCheckpoint(playerid, 1, -77.6183, 2501.9719, 15.4608, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 50.0);
    return 1;
}

forward CountDown();
public CountDown()
{
    countvar--;
    new str[6];
    if(countvar == 0)
    {
        GameTextForAll("~g~G~r~O~b~!", 3000, 5);
        KillTimer(CountDownTimer);
        countvar = 4;
    }
    else
    {
        format(str, sizeof(str), "%d", countvar);
        GameTextForAll(str, 1000, 5);
    }
}

I added a little cool feature, which displays "GO!" in multi-color for 3 seconds after the countdown ends.

pawn Code:

GameTextForAll("~g~G~r~O~b~!", 3000, 5);

[Heress]

Thanks!

[Heress]

And do you know how to create race checkpoint to all players?

[TheToretto]

Yes, use SetPlayerRaceCheckpoint with a for loop, example:

pawn Code:

for(new i; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
{
    SetPlayerRaceCheckpoint(i, 0, Float:x, Float:y, Float:z, Float:nextx, Float:nexty, Float:nextz, Float:size);
}

0 in the type for ground normal race checkpoints, check the documentation I mentioned earlier

[Heress]

Thanks, i had it but i did mistake so thanks you very much, you are the best
