is there any way of creating a timer without using forwards and new publics?

Thanks

No There Is No Other Way. Don't Be Lazy Creating Publics And Forwards

im not being lazy im tryin to figure a way of making a timer in a public becase i need the time to start on player spawn because its a death timer when the player dies they will be put in hospital for the set amount of time you get me?

Yes there is but it is essentially re-inventing the wheel.

It involves many variables OnPlayerUpdate (Or another fast ticking function) and GetTickCount.

it matters if you are on windows or another OC

in windows you just could use tickcount or GetTickcount

pawn Код:

new TimeAlive[MAX_PLAYERS];

pawn Код:

//OnPlayerSpawn
    TimeAlive[playerid] = tickcount();

pawn Код:

//OnPlayerDeath
    TimeAlive[playerid] = tickcount() - TimeAlive[playerid];

TimeAlive[playerid] stores, after the second call, the time in milliseconds between spawn and death


If you use any other OS in which tickcount() doesnt work you could use a reapeating 1 second timer

pawn Код:

//OnPlayerSpawn
    TimeAlive[playerid] = 0; // resets the tracker

pawn Код:

//Timer which gets called each second
    for(new i; i < MAX_PLAYERS; ++i) {
        TimeAlive[i]++;
    }

TimeAlive[playerid] stores in this case the time in seconds
