Ok,i thought to use that but how to update it?i mean i put

SetTimer(bbb,1000..)

Public bbb
{
Getplayerpos(i,x,y,z)
SetPlayerCheckpoint(playerid,x,y,z)
return 1;
}

And then?

Look,this is the code

PHP код:

        if (strcmp(cmd, "/tracker", true) == 0)
        {
        new Float:x, Float:y, Float:z;
                    tmp = strtok(cmdtext, idx);
                    if(!strlen(tmp))
                    {
                        SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GRAD2, "USAGE: /tracker [playerid/PartOfName]");
                        return 1;
                    }
                       giveplayerid = ReturnUser(tmp);
                    if(PlayerInfo[playerid][pJob] == 1)
                        {
                            GetPlayerPos(giveplayerid,x,y,z);
                            if(PlayerInfo[playerid][pJustAttachedMole] == 0)
                                        {
                                        if(!IsPlayerInRangeOfPoint(playerid, 15, x, y, z))
                                        {
                                            SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_GRAD1, "** Player is not near you!");
                                            return 1;
                                        }
                                        SetPlayerCheckpoint(playerid,x,y,z,5.0);
                                        GameTextForPlayer(playerid,"~b~Tracker Attached to ~n~~r~suspect",5000,5);
                                        PlayerInfo[playerid][pJustAttachedMole] = 1;
                                        SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_RED,"|______________Laptop Information________________|");
                                        SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_RED,"Tracker attatched,your tracking your suspect!");
                                        SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_RED,"Type /killtracker to deatatch it!");
                                        }
                            else
                            {
                            SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_YELLOW,"You already have an attached tracker,type /killtracker to deattatch it!");
                            }
                        }
                    else
                    {
                    SendClientMessage(playerid,COLOR_RED,"You need to be a detective for this job!");
                    }
                    return 1;
                }

SetTimer: https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/SetTimer

SetTimer("Public Function Here", time(ms), repeating(1 or 0));
so example is:

SetTimer("bbb", 1000, 1);

public bbb()
{
// Do stuffs
}

[MadeMan]

pawn Код:

new CPTimer[MAX_PLAYERS];

To start following the player:

pawn Код:

CPTimer[playerid] = SetTimerEx("UpdateCP", 1000, true, "i", playerid);

To stop following the player:

pawn Код:

KillTimer(CPTimer[playerid]);

pawn Код:

forward UpdateCP(playerid);
public UpdateCP(playerid)
{
    new Float:pos[3];
    GetPlayerPos(playerid, pos[0], pos[1], pos[2]);
    for(new i=0; i < MAX_PLAYERS; i++)
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(i))
        {
            SetPlayerCheckpoint(i, pos[0], pos[1], pos[2], 3.0);
        }
    }
}

Using PHP tags are for noobs.

[MadeMan]

Or if you want to show the checkpoint to only 1 player, then:

pawn Код:

CPTimer[playerid] = SetTimerEx("UpdateCP", 1000, true, "ii", playerid, giveplayerid);

pawn Код:

forward UpdateCP(playerid, giveplayerid);
public UpdateCP(playerid, giveplayerid)
{
    new Float:pos[3];
    GetPlayerPos(giveplayerid, pos[0], pos[1], pos[2]);
    SetPlayerCheckpoint(playerid, pos[0], pos[1], pos[2], 3.0);
}
