Hello there,


I'm wondering, should I use a 1 second timer over OnPlayerUpdate in this following situation:

Well, some guy told me that OnPlayerUpdate is called more than 200 times in a second or something, and I am doing a system that if you're out of a certain range of something a variable will be set, so should I use OnPlayerUpdate or a 1 second timer (a server timer, SetTimer).

Thanks in advance.

If I had to choose between those two, I'd go with a timer than OnPlayerUpdate (200 times is too much but it's called too frequently). However, using streamer's dynamic area would be much better.

Yes, you can.

Are you talking about using CreateDynamicSphere?

Depends on the type of the area so it's up to you.

using IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint might be better right?, If I'm using a variable already

In my opinion, yes. That would be better.

for instance,

under the timer:

pawn Код:

if(PlayerSpot[playerid][31])
{
if(IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint(playerid, 30.0, x, y, z))
{

// code here

}
}

Just use dynamic areas that will work but certainly is not the best way.

Make sure that you use SetTimeEx and add some parameters to it.
