Hey guys, is it possible to pass on a ID of a player towards a timer?
Example, I do /find [ID]
That command will forward the ID to a timer and it will open a textdraw, and the textdraw will automatically update with the location of the player.

Yes,

how ?

pawn Код:

Command:test(playerid)
{
     SetTimerEx("OnTestExec",2000,false,"i", playerid)
}

//then later on after the timers time has passed the callback
//gets called with the playerid
forward OnTestExec(playerid);
Public OnTestExec(playerid)
{
//do what ever
}

Hey thanks for replying. Is it also possible to pass on the ID of the selected player? Like

/find [PLAYERID]

Then in the timer I would be able to do
GetPlayerMoney(otherplayer) and SendClientMessage(playerid)

I didn't fully understand your question, but I think you need SetTimerEx.

For example:

pawn Код:

forward x(playerid);
public x(playerid)
{
//
}

// Somewhere
SetTimerEx("x", 5000, false, "i", playerid);

SetTimerEx sets a timer for callbacks with params. (funcname, interval, loop, format, param1, param2, ...)
I don't know why the sa-mp team made 2 different functions.

What I want to do here is a /locate system for police. They will be able to ./locate [ID/NAME] and it will show a textdraw on their screen that will refresh itself each 5-10 seconds which is why I need a timer. BUT in that timer, I need to be able to use both my own playerid and the ID of the player that I selected.

Then you need to pass two variables

pawn Код:

Command:test(playerid,params[]);
{
     SetTimerEx("OnTestExec",2000,false,"ii", playerid,selectedid);
     //u never gave your variable of how u retrieve the selected player but u will manage.
}

forward OnTestExec(playerid,selectedid);
public OnTestExec(playerid,selectedid)
{
//do what ever
}

Thanks buddy.
