How can I make a countdown system with gametextforall? :0

With timer's.

public OnPlayerSpawn(playerid) { SetTimer("Five", 1000, 0); SetTimer("Four", 2000, 0); SetTimer("Three", 3000, 0); SetTimer("Two", 4000, 0); SetTimer("One", 5000, 0); SetTimer("Gooooo", 6000, 0); } public Five() { GameTextForAll("~r~5", 2000, 4); } public Four() { GameTextForAll("~r~4", 2000, 4); } public Three() { GameTextForAll("~r~3", 2000, 4); } public Five() { GameTextForAll("~r~5", 2000, 4); } public Two() { GameTextForAll("~r~2", 2000, 4); } public One() { GameTextForAll("~r~1", 2000, 4); } public Gooooo() { GameTextForAll("~r~Gooooo", 2000, 4); }

And with a command?

Just put the timers under your command instead of OnPlayerSpawn ? Come on , think.
Anyway. I think this is a better way , you don't want too many timers and especially when there is an easier way:

https://sampforum.blast.hk/showthread.php?tid=169023

On top

pawn Код:

new CountDownVar = 4;

command to start the timer

pawn Код:

if(!strcmp(cmdtext, "/countdown", true))
{
CountDownTimer = SetTimer("CountDown", 1000, false);
return 1;
}

somewhere(out of callbacks).

pawn Код:

forward CountDown();
public CountDown()
{
     CountDownVar--; //Thanks for the fix.
     new str[128];
     if(CountDownVar == 0)
     {
            KillTimer(CountDownTimer);
            CountDownVar = 4; //Edit thanks to Hiddos...i was sleepy :S
     }
     else
     {
           format(str, sizeof(str), "Count Down: %d", CountDownTimer);
           GameTextForAll(str, 1000, 1);
     }
     return 1;
}

Here you go:

Quote:

public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[]) { if(strcmp(cmdtext, "/cdown", true) == 0) { SetTimer("Five", 1000, 0); SetTimer("Four", 2000, 0); SetTimer("Three", 3000, 0); SetTimer("Two", 4000, 0); SetTimer("One", 5000, 0); SetTimer("Gooooo", 6000, 0); } return 1; } public Five() { GameTextForAll("~r~5", 2000, 4); } public Four() { GameTextForAll("~r~4", 2000, 4); } public Three() { GameTextForAll("~r~3", 2000, 4); } public Five() { GameTextForAll("~r~5", 2000, 4); } public Two() { GameTextForAll("~r~2", 2000, 4); } public One() { GameTextForAll("~r~1", 2000, 4); } public Gooooo() { GameTextForAll("~r~Gooooo", 2000, 4); }

You might get a warning for loose indentitation ..

You could use this function:

pawn Код:

public CountDown(seconds)
{
     new msg[64];
     if(seconds == 0)
     {
          //time's up - your code
     }
     else
     {
          //To display how much seconds left:
          format(msg,64,"Time left: %i",seconds);
          GameTextForAll(msg,1000,3);
          seconds --;
          SetTimerEx("CountDown",1000,0,"i",seconds); //countdown continues
     }
}

The countdown above kinda sucks, because you need 6 timers for just 1 countdown.
In my example you just need 1 timer

pawn Код:

new SCount = 11;
new SStart = 0;
new Timer;

CMD:start(playerid, cmdtext)
{
    if(SStart == 0)
    {
        Timer = SetTimer("Counter", 1000, true); // Creates a timer that doesnt stop untill you say 
        SStart = 1;
    } else return SendClientMessage(playerid, -1, " ** Theres already a countdown going on! ");
    return 1;
}

forward Count();
public Count()
{
    SCount --; // Removes 1 from SCount
    switch(SCount)
    {
        case 11:{} // if SCount == 11, then do this
        case 10:{ GameTestForAll("~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~r~10", 2000, 3); } // if SCount == 10, then do this
        case 9: { GameTestForAll("~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~r~9", 2000, 3); }// if SCount == 9, then do this
        case 8: { GameTestForAll("~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~r~8", 2000, 3); } // etc
        case 7: { GameTestForAll("~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~r~7", 2000, 3); }
        case 6: { GameTestForAll("~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~r~6", 2000, 3); }
        case 5: { GameTestForAll("~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~r~5", 2000, 3); }
        case 4: { GameTestForAll("~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~r~4", 2000, 3); }
        case 3: { GameTestForAll("~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~r~3", 2000, 3); }
        case 2: { GameTestForAll("~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~r~2", 2000, 3); }
        case 1: { GameTestForAll("~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~y~1", 2000, 3); }
        case 0: { 
            GameTestForAll("~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~n~~g~ ] GO GO GO ]", 4000, 3); 
            KillTimer(Timer); // Kills the timer so it stops counting
            SStart = 0; // You can use the command again
            SCount = 11; // Resets the variable to 11
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

Edit: Oh duh, late

Just delete this line, your script isnt using the variable "countdown": thats why your compiler says this

Again an un-efficient countdown
