Hello,

I'm in the process of creating a new script for my community. I have created an engine system using textdraws but for some reason teh command only works properly for id 0. What is the issue? Any help is appreciated!

How about you show us the code?

pawn Код:

if(strcmp(cmd, "/startengine",true) == 0)
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(playerid))
        {
            if((GetPlayerState(playerid) == PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER))
            {
                GameTextForPlayer(playerid, " ~g~Starting....", 4000, 3);
                StartTimer = SetTimer("StartTime", 1000, 0);
            }
        }
        return 1;
    }

pawn Код:

public StartTime(playerid)
{
    KillTimer(StartTimer);
    StartTimer2 = SetTimer("StartTime2", 1000, 0);
    return 1;
}

There is more that includes our most unique feature but I wont include this part. I have already checked it and its good!

SetTimerEx()

pawn Код:

if(strcmp(cmdtext, "/startengine", true) == 0)

Also, StartTime doesn't need the playerid parameter.

pawn Код:

public StartTime( )

Could you explain the difference between SetTimer And SetTimerEx, wiki doesnt make any sense to me :P!

[Grim_]

SetTimerEx is used to pass extra parameters through the callback. For example, your example
StartTime( playerid ) - With SetTimerEx, you can pass the 'playerid' parameter. The format would be as so:

pawn Код:

SetTimerEx( "StartTime", 1000, false, "i", playerid );
// 1000 = time
// false = don't repeat
// "i" = the format (integer for 'playerid')
// playerid = the parameter to pass

It's hard to explain, but once you understand it, it's nothing!

[Blade_Cervetti]

I think I understand it, Let me edit and I will repost the code and see fi it looks right then!

pawn Код:

public StartTime()
{
    KillTimer(StartTimer);
    StartTimer2 = SetTimerEx( "StartTime2", 1000, false, "i", playerid );
    return 1;
}

I am now getting undefined symbol "playerid". I'm sorry it's been a long time since I've scripted so I kindof forgot everything, it wil come back to me though, I hope :P!

And can't you just set the timer rate to 2 seconds instead of 1 seconds. Since the only thing your timer does is to kill the current timer (wich would've ended anyway) and then start a new 1 second timer.. And then you can just remove the public "StartTime".

pawn Код:

if(strcmp(cmd, "/startengine",true) == 0)
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(playerid))
        {
            if((GetPlayerState(playerid) == PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER))
            {
                GameTextForPlayer(playerid, " ~g~Starting....", 4000, 3);
                StartTimer2 = SetTimer("StartTime2", 2000, 0);
            }
        }
        return 1;
    }
