im curious about is
is it possible to remove the "funcname[]) from SetTimer(funcname[], interval, repeating)

for a simple and clear example

from
SetTimer(funcname[], interval, repeating)
to
SetTimer(interval, repeating)


thanks in advance

Lookin

EDIT: btw im just curious Timers have nothing to do with why im wondering it was just the simplest code so that there where no hassles in the question

Set a timer to do what? You're not making any sense.

[Dan..]

#define SetMyTimer(%1,%2) SetTimer(#MyTimer,%1,%2)

If that's what you mean.

That doesn't make sense either.

Timers execute the code in a function after a set interval. Setting a timer without specifying the function is like displaying a transparent textdraw to a player!

[cessil]

you could use a blank function name, however why not tell us the real reason you're wondering

[Lookin]

ok.
for example:
I wanted to make a timer include that made one timer work like

pawn Код:

ST(S(5), 1); // 5 seconds

rather than

pawn Код:

SetTimer(funcname[], interval, repeating)

im just using

pawn Код:

SetTimer(interval, repeating)

so that i can have multiple functions using just one timer
like this

pawn Код:

public DoSomeThingHere1()
{
    SendClientMessageToAll(LIGHT_BLUE,"MSG1");
    ST(S(5),1); //5 seconds
    return 1;
}

public DoSomeThingHere2()
{
    SendClientMessageToAll(LIGHT_BLUE,"MSG2");
    ST(S(5),1); //5 seconds
    return 1;
}

also was going to add in a question, may as well do it here. how would i make processing cmds and timers to read and write faster?

Isn't that exactly what y_timers does?

[Lookin]

I have no idea ive never looked at the inc

anyways im just wondering if it can be done or not ive never said im working on anything

Ok

public DoSomeThingHere2()
{
SendClientMessageToAll(LIGHT_BLUE,"MSG2");
ST(S(5),1); //only starts the timer in this function for the duration the function is called
return 1;
}

so that all it needs to do is count to the set amount of time (in this case S(5)) this function is used for rather than use a public and function name, all it knows is to use this function for the time set

And i didnt really plan it out or anything i was just curious if it was possible.
