Hey!

I'm having weird timer bug.. I'm displaying countdown of 3 2 1 GO! with gametext etc..

Lets say all of them get displayed normally but for some reason there is 1 second gap between each number is shown.. so lets say it goes

3 (waits one second) 2 (waits one second) 1 (waits one second) GO!

And I dont want that.. I want it to go 3 2 1 GO without that one second gap.. but I cant seem to find issue in my code.. I'll post it here

PHP код:

Start_Map[DM] = SetTimerEx("StartMap", 1000, 1, "d", DM); 


PHP код:

forward StartMap(mode);
public StartMap(mode)
{
    new string[128];
    switch(mode)
    {
        case DM:
        {
            Countdown[DM]--;
            for(new j = GetPlayerPoolSize(), i = 0; i <= j;  i++) if(IsPlayerConnected(i))
            {
                if(pMode[i] == DM)
                {
                    if(Countdown[DM] > 0 )
                    {
                        format(string, sizeof(string), "%d", Countdown[DM]);
                        GameTextForPlayer(i, string, 1000, 4);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        GameTextForPlayer(i, "Go!", 1000, 4);
                    
                        KillTimer(Vehicle_Freeze[DM]);
                        KillTimer(Start_Map[DM]);
                        Countdown[DM] = 4;
                        
                        TogglePlayerControllable(i, true);
                    }
                    
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return 1;
} 


EDIT: Here's GIF of how it goes.. As you can see there's 1 second gap between

Are you using any plugin or include related to timers? Are you running any code often which takes a lot of time to be executed? What OS are you running your server on?


Your code seems okay, I've tried to improve it a little bit tho. Feel free to take a look:

PHP код:

Start_Map[DM] = SetTimerEx("StartMap", 1000, true, "d", DM);
forward StartMap(mode); 
public StartMap(mode) 
{ 
    /*
        Two cells are okay for this array since the countdown
        displays just a character + EOS (for example 3 + \0).
        The EOS (\0) is used to close the string, and it takes one cell.
    */
    new string[2];
    switch(mode) 
    { 
        case DM: 
        { 
            Countdown[DM]--;
            for(new i = 0, t = GetPlayerPoolSize(); i <= t; i++) 
            {
                /*
                    This code skips the ID if the player is not
                    connected or if his pMode is not set to DM.
                */
                if(!IsPlayerConnected(i) || pMode[i] != DM)
                {
                    continue;
                } 
                /*
                    The code below is executed for connected
                    players who have pMode set to DM.
                */
                if(Countdown[DM] > 0) 
                { 
                    format(string, sizeof(string), "%d", Countdown[DM]);
                    GameTextForPlayer(i, string, 1000, 4); 
                } 
                else 
                { 
                    KillTimer(Vehicle_Freeze[DM]); 
                    KillTimer(Start_Map[DM]); 
                      Countdown[DM] = 4;
                    GameTextForPlayer(i, "Go!", 1000, 4); 
                    TogglePlayerControllable(i, true); 
                }             
            } 
        } 
    } 
    return 1; 
}

Just increase game text time and it should be outside loop

pawn Код:

forward StartMap(mode);
public StartMap(mode)
{
    new string[4];
    switch(mode)
    {
        case DM:
        {
            if( --Countdown[DM] > 0 ) valstr(string, Countdown[DM]);
            else
            {
                string = "Go!";
                Countdown[DM] = 4;
                KillTimer(Vehicle_Freeze[DM]);
                KillTimer(Start_Map[DM]);
            }
            for(new i = GetPlayerPoolSize(); i > -1; i--)
                if(pMode[i] == DM && GameTextForPlayer(i, string, 2000, 4)) // mode == DM and player is connected
                {
                    if(Countdown[DM] == 4) // start
                        TogglePlayerControllable(i, true);
                }
        }
    }
    return 1;
}

I am not using any includes related to timer, but I am loading a map before the timer which is reading a file and creating dynamic objects + dynamic areas but I make sure that after its done reading I close the file and excecute timer after.. idk, might be issue but i dont know.
And I'm using Windows at the moment since its on localhost.
