Ok so I have a timer that will make a cars headlights flash... but I seem to be having troubles with it. I can't seem to get the timer to stop (it starts, but wont stop with the command). What do I need to fix or do?
Here is my code:

pawn Код:

if(!strcmp(cmd, "/hazard", true))//hazard lights
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(playerid))
        {
            if(IsPlayerInAnyVehicle(playerid))
            {
                new newcar = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);
                if(CarFlasher[newcar] == 0)
                {
                    CarFlasher[newcar] = SetTimer("Flashers", 1000, true);
                    CarFlasher[newcar] = 1;
                }
                if(CarFlasher[newcar] == 1)
                {
                    KillTimer(CarFlasher[newcar]);
                    CarFlasher[newcar] = 0;
                }
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

And the timer command:

pawn Код:

public Flashers ()
{
    new playerid;
    new newcar = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);
    ToggleVehicleLights(newcar)
    return 1;
}

pawn Код:

if(!strcmp(cmd, "/hazard", true))//hazard lights
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(playerid))
        {
            if(IsPlayerInAnyVehicle(playerid))
            {
                new newcar = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);
                if(CarFlasher[newcar] == 0)
                {
                    CarFlasher[newcar] = SetTimer("Flashers", 1000, true);
                    CarFlasher[newcar] = 1;
                    return 1;
                }
                if(CarFlasher[newcar] == 1)
                {
                    KillTimer(CarFlasher[newcar]);
                    CarFlasher[newcar] = 0;
                    return 1;
                }
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

I added return 1; 's to the end and still didn't kill the timer (stop flashing). There MUST be somthing wrong with the actual timer function but I can't find it. I know this because I also tried adding the kill timer part on playerecitvehicle in my GM and it didn't kill the timer (it remained flashing when the player entered the car again).

Please help: jakejohnsonusa

                new newcar = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);
                if(CarFlasher[newcar] == 0)
                {
                    CarFlasher[newcar] = SetTimer("Flashers", 1000, true);
                    //CarFlasher[newcar] = 1;
                }
                if(CarFlasher[newcar] != 0)
                {
                    KillTimer(CarFlasher[newcar]);
                    CarFlasher[newcar] = 0;
                }
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

Now it's not working at all.

NOTE:

pawn Код:

CarFlasher[newcar] = 0;

This is what I have under the on player enter vehicle part in my GM...

You can't just kill the timer! You must turn off the lights too.
Killing the timer doesn't turn off the lights.

Код:

  
if(!strcmp(cmd, "/hazard", true))//hazard lights
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(playerid))
        {
            if(IsPlayerInAnyVehicle(playerid))
            {
                new newcar = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);
                if(CarFlasher[newcar] == 0)
                {
                    CarFlasher[newcar] = SetTimerEx("Flashers", 1000, true, "d", newcar);
                    CarFlasher[newcar] = 1;
                }
                if(CarFlasher[newcar] == 1)
                {
                    KillTimer(CarFlasher[newcar]);
                    CarFlasher[newcar] = 0;
                }
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

And this is the function:

Код:

forward Flashers(vehid);
public Flashers (vehid)
{
     ToggleVehicleLights(vehid);
    //your other code
    return 1;
}

Anyways, if you search there is already a filterscript about vehicle lights. Take a look at it and see how it was built, but don't just copy and paste, otherwise you will never learn.

Yes, I have seen others... but none that flash... so I built my own (this). So I did what you asked and added SetTimerEx instead of SetTimer, but again I have the same problem... It doesn't turn off when I do /hazard it just adds a new timer (gets faster).

Still need help...

Thanks: jakejohnsonusa

I just tried to make a command that would kill the timer and it STILL doesn't turn off. What should I do? To fix my original code?

if(!strcmp(cmd, "/hazard", true))//hazard lights
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(playerid))
        {
            if(IsPlayerInAnyVehicle(playerid))
            {
                new newcar = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);
                if(CarFlasher[newcar] == 0) // is flesher off
                {
                    CarFlasher[newcar] = SetTimer("Flashers", 1000, true); // CarFlasher[newcar] =  timerid
                    CarFlasher[newcar] = 1; // flesher on
                    return 1;
                }
                if(CarFlasher[newcar] == 1) // is flesher on 
                {
                    KillTimer(CarFlasher[newcar]);//CarFlasher[newcar] = 1 NOT TIMER ID
                    CarFlasher[newcar] = 0; // flesher off
                    return 1;
                }
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

i hope this will help you to debug you code.
