Speed Testing

Hello guys, I decided to write my first tutorial about Speed Testing in SA-MP for a while now and I decided to take off.

1 - Pages that might help

https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/GetTickCount
https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/Printf

2 - A first code.

To set up a speed test you need to use on of the 'public's' in your pawno, lets take a code to test.

pawn Код:

public OnGameModeInit()
    {
        LoadMap(); // Custom stock loading my maps.
        SetGameModeText(TEXT_GAMEMODETEXT); // Setting the gamemode text to my defined gamemode name.
        AddPlayerClass(0, 163.81, 4028.46, 4.06, 0.0, 0, 0,0,0,0,0); // Creating the class
        EnableStuntBonusForAll(0); // Disabling Stunt Bonus
        return 1;
    }

now we have to set up the GetTickCount.

pawn Код:

public OnGameModeInit()
    {
                new OnGameModeInitCount = GetTickCount(); // creating the OnGameModeInit count.
            LoadMap(); // Custom stock loading my maps.
        SetGameModeText(TEXT_GAMEMODETEXT); // Setting the gamemode text to my defined gamemode name.
        AddPlayerClass(0, 163.81, 4028.46, 4.06, 0.0, 0, 0,0,0,0,0); // Creating the class
        EnableStuntBonusForAll(0); // Disabling Stunt Bonus
                printf("Excecuted OnGameModeInit, time taken: %d", GetTickCount() - OnGameModeInitCount); // Printing the time which is taken.
        return 1;
    }

Now we have set up the GetTickCount function as well as the print, let me explain them in more details.

pawn Код:

new OnGameModeInitCount = GetTickCount();

this defines which tickcount the code has to run, why? A part of your script can include a few tick counts, and they could mess up when they have the same name.

pawn Код:

printf("Excecuted OnGameModeInit, time taken: %d", GetTickCount() - OnGameModeInitCount);

printf is a function to print things in your server logs with a string, the normal print function isn't able to hold strings.

pawn Код:

GetTickCount() - OnGameModeInitCount

This part writes which tickcount has to be called, this is the same reason as the defined part at the new, which is explained above.

3 - Outro

I hope you guys got helped a bit with this tutorial, it's my first tutorial so critism is always allowed, I'd love to learn from you too!
