} 


How to make the countdowns are just for near 'playerid'?
I think I can use IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint but it would do the countdown just to the one nearest person (i guess)

EDIT: Or I can just use ProxDetector ? But idk how

[AzertyTheProgrammer]

Use " IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint " with Foreach. It will work trust me.

You can have something like this or just loop all connected players and check if they're in range with the countdown issuer using IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint by getting the issuer's position and comparing it to other players

PHP Code:

forward Float:GetDistanceBetweenPlayers(p1,p2);
public Float:GetDistanceBetweenPlayers(p1,p2)
{
    new Float:x1,Float:y1,Float:z1,Float:x2,Float:y2,Float:z2;
    if (!IsPlayerConnected(p1) || !IsPlayerConnected(p2))
    {
        return -1.00;
    }
    GetPlayerPos(p1,x1,y1,z1);
    GetPlayerPos(p2,x2,y2,z2);
    return floatsqroot(floatpower(floatabs(floatsub(x2,x1)),2)+floatpower(floatabs(floatsub(y2,y1)),2)+floatpower(floatabs(floatsub(z2,z1)),2));
}
public countdown()
{
    for(new i=0; i<MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(i) && GetDistanceBetweenPlayers(playerid, i) < 100.0) // your range
        {
            if(CountDown == 6) GameTextForAll("~p~Starting...", 1000, 6);
            CountDown--;
            if(CountDown == 0)
            {
                GameTextForAll("~g~GO~ r~!", 1000, 6);
                CountDown = -1;
                for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++) {
                    TogglePlayerControllable(i, true);
                    PlayerPlaySound(i, 1057, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
                }
                return 0;
            }
            else
            {
                new text[7]; format(text, sizeof(text), "~w~%d", CountDown);
                for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++) {
                    PlayerPlaySound(i, 1056, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
                    TogglePlayerControllable(i, false);
                }
                 GameTextForAll(text, 1000, 6);
            }
            SetTimer("countdown", 1000, 0);
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

Is there an example map of, 100.0 range or 200.0 range?

So guys, I made it like this :

PHP Code:

forward Float:GetDistanceBetweenPlayers(p1,p2);
public Float:GetDistanceBetweenPlayers(p1,p2){
    new Float:x1,Float:y1,Float:z1,Float:x2,Float:y2,Float:z2;
    if (!IsPlayerConnected(p1) || !IsPlayerConnected(p2))
    {
        return -1.00;
    }
    GetPlayerPos(p1,x1,y1,z1);
    GetPlayerPos(p2,x2,y2,z2);
    return floatsqroot(floatpower(floatabs(floatsub(x2,x1)),2)+floatpower(floatabs(floatsub(y2,y1)),2)+floatpower(floatabs(floatsub(z2,z1)),2));
} 


PHP Code:

forward countdown(playerid);
public countdown(playerid)
{
    for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(i) && GetDistanceBetweenPlayers(playerid, i) < 200.0)
        {
            if(CountDown == 6) GameTextForPlayer(i, "~p~Starting...", 1000, 6);
            CountDown--;
            if(CountDown == 0)
            {
                GameTextForPlayer(i, "~g~GO~ r~!", 1000, 6);
                CountDown = -1;
                TogglePlayerControllable(i, true);
                PlayerPlaySound(i, 1057, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
                return 0;
            }
            else
            {
                new text[7]; format(text, sizeof(text), "~w~%d", CountDown);
                PlayerPlaySound(i, 1056, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
                TogglePlayerControllable(i, false);
                GameTextForPlayer(i, text, 1000, 6);
            }
            SetTimer("countdown", 1000, 0);
        }
    }
    return 0;
}
CMD:countdown(playerid, params[]) {
    if(PlayerInfo[playerid][Level] >= 4) {
        if(CountDown == -1) {
            CountDown = 6;
            SetTimer("countdown", 1000, 0);
            return CMDMessageToAdmins(playerid, "COUNTDOWN");
        } else return SendClientMessage(playerid, red, "ERROR: Countdown in progress");
    } else return SendClientMessage(playerid, red, "ERROR: You are not a high enough level to use this command");
} 


And when i start the countdown, nothing happened. It just sends me the "CMDMessageToAdmins(playerid, "COUNTDOWN");". No one sees the countdown, me nor my friends. Even they're beside me

And I made a duel countdown like this :

PHP Code:

forward duelTimer(playerid);
public duelTimer(playerid)
{
    /*if(DuelCD[dueler1] == 6) {
        GameTextForPlayer(dueler1, "~p~Starting...", 1000, 6);
        GameTextForPlayer(dueler2, "~p~Starting...", 1000, 6);
    }*/
    DuelCD[dueler1]--;
    if(DuelCD[dueler1] == 0)
    {
        GameTextForPlayer(dueler1, "~g~go get em~ r~!", 1000, 6);
        GameTextForPlayer(dueler2, "~g~go get em~ r~!", 1000, 6);
        //DuelCD[dueler1] = -1;
        TogglePlayerControllable(dueler1, true);
        TogglePlayerControllable(dueler2, true);
        PlayerPlaySound(dueler1, 1057, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
        PlayerPlaySound(dueler2, 1057, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
        return 0;
    }
    else
    {
        new text[7]; format(text, sizeof(text), "~w~%d", CountDown);
        PlayerPlaySound(dueler1, 1056, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
        PlayerPlaySound(dueler2, 1056, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
        TogglePlayerControllable(dueler1, false);
        TogglePlayerControllable(dueler2, false);
        GameTextForPlayer(dueler1, text, 1000, 6);
        GameTextForPlayer(dueler2, text, 1000, 6);
        SetCameraBehindPlayer(dueler1);
        SetCameraBehindPlayer(dueler2);
    }
    SetTimer("duelTimer", 1000, 0);
    return 0;
} 


And I call it like this in somewhere.

PHP Code:

SetTimer("duelTimer", 1000, 0); 


But idk why, countdown isn't "5,4,3,2,1" but it goes like "-1,-1,-1,-1,-1"

How to fix this guys?

You need to use SetTimerEx to pass the playerid parameter to your countdown callback

pawn Code:

SetTimerEx("countdown", 1000, false, "i", playerid);

Also, just use IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint. I'm sure it's more optimized than the custom function you are using.

pawn Code:

forward countdown(playerid);
public countdown(playerid)
{
    new Float: x, Float: y, Float: z;
    GetPlayerPos(playerid, x, y, z);
    
    for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(i) && IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint(i, 200.0, x, y, z))
        {
            // rest of code
