How could I use something other then the TogglePlayerSpectating? What all does it do? Does it just freeze the player and make him disappear? I could do that myself. It's just because when I toggle back from spectating, it respawns me and OnPlayerSpawn is called. I don't like that. If I just set my player's position or virtual and froze me wouldn't it be the same?

I had a similar issue, but use timers and variables to store the players weapon data and position and all will be fixed!

How to use SetTimerEx properly?

I need it for an anti spam of a drug script. I first use SetTimer and created a function, CrackUses, but this works for player id 0 only, so someone told me to use SetTimerEx, but i dont know how to.... : /

[Backwardsman97]

pawn Code:

SetTimerEx(funcname[], interval, repeating, const format[], {Float,_}:...)

An example for a playerid in a function would be like.

pawn Code:

SetTimerEx("SomeFunction",1000,1,"i",playerid);

The format is like this.

Code:

i 	 Stands for an integer parameter.
d 	Exactly the same as i.
a 	Passes an array, the next parameter must be an integer ("i") with the array's size.
s 	Stands for a string parameter.
f 	Stands for a float parameter.
b 	Stands for a boolean parameter.

And for two parameters.

pawn Code:

SetTimerEx("Fix",2000,0,"ii",playerid,GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);

Hi!

This isn't a problem, I'm just wondering how I could make an infinite loop of to check wheter a player is 15 meters away from a point (using PlayerToPoint)

SetTimer( ... ).

How to check if the player is the driver of the vehicle? I tried it with:

pawn Code:

if(GetPlayerState(playerid) != PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER)
{
}

But it doesn't works.

Code:

// On top of your script:

new vehicle;

// In OnGameModeInit

vehicle = AddStaticVehicle(...)

// Outside other functions (most likely at the end of your script).

public OnPlayerStateChange(playerid, newstate, oldstate)
{
    if(newstate == PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER)
    {
        new numero = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);
        if(numero == vehicle)
        {
		// Do something here
		}
	}

    return 1;
}

Sorry if the intendation got fucked.

Well, thanks for your help at first. But how would I then "include" into this command?

pawn Code:

if (strcmp("/fix", cmdtext, true)==0)
{
     if((!IsPlayerInAnyVehicle(playerid)) && (GetPlayerState(playerid) != PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER))
     {
          SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_RED, "You are not in a vehicle or you're not the driver of it!");
     } else {
          SetVehicleHealth(GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid), 1000);
          PlayerPlaySound(playerid, 1133, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
     }
     return 1;
}

Edit: That command works, but when you enter as a passenger, you can still repair the vehicle, so I guess that PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER is either not available or wrong.

Edit2: It appears that you can't use GetPlayerState(playerid) != PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER, you'll have to make it "vice versa".

Why not do like this?

pawn Code:

if (strcmp("/fix", cmdtext, true)==0)
{
   if(GetPlayerState(playerid) == PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER)
   {
      SetVehicleHealth(GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid), 1000);
      PlayerPlaySound(playerid, 1133, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);      
   } 
   else 
   {
      SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_RED, "You are not in a vehicle or you're not the driver of it!");
   }
   return 1;
}

No need for the check for if they are in the vehicle because their state can't be driver if they aren't in a vehicle.

Quick question:
I'm trying to make it so when a player calls a Taxi it will send a message to taxi drivers only, I've searched around abit' and all ive found are team chats taht use TEAM_GROVE for example... To identify a player as a taxi driver in my script I use

pawn Code:

pJob[playerid] = 4;

Any help appreciated, thanks.

It is possible to refer to a command in a function , without re-typing the code that's used to make the command work ? For example if you created a menu and you want to execute the command ''/help'' if he has chosen " case 0 ". Etc etc.

OnPlayerCommand(playerid, "/help");
