Task Scheduler - by JustinHoMi
 

A task scheduler to perform server commands at a specified interval or a specific time. Based on Clanmod's "cm_task".

Usage:
Put tasks in your amx.cfg (or could possibly work in server.cfg) in the format:
amx_task time "command" flags

Flags:
m - time is in minutes
s - time is in seconds
r - repeat task
t - specific time (0:00-23:59, assumes "r" flag)

For example to restart the round every 5 minutes use:
amx_task 5 "sv_restart 1" mr

NOTE: chagned all the "time" variables to "clock"
added: #include <amxmodx>

thanks to Bailopan and Gizzard for their help.

Is it just me or do some of JustinHoMi plugins should be incorpated into the AMXX project?

Good plugin, thanks for the port.

hrrmm this is very interesting. Could I set this up to change the mapcycle possibly?

like have mapcycle 1 from 9 till 23 and then mapcycle2 from 23 til 9?

I am gonna have to look into this. But, if anyone already knows the answer, please let me know :wink:

btw.. I noticed you left #include <amxmod>
the amxmodx team will want you to use #include <amxmodx> before the plugin can be approved.

Man I hope there is a way to get this mapcycle thing hooked up. I have been trying to find a way to do this for a while now.

very interesting :wink:

#include <amxmodx> please

done.. sorry bout that guys ... Still learning.

I did this with the amx mod an this plugin, worked fine.
Only problem was that I wanted to specify this once, but the amx config file was run every mapload.

hmm how did I do this ...
I did something like
amx_task 18:00 "amx_tsay blue Evening mapcycle loaded" t
amx_task 18:01 "mp_timelimit 20" t
amx_task 18:02 "mapcyclefile evening.txt" t

then around 0100 I switched back
amx_task 01:00 "amx_tsay blue Standard mapcycle loaded" t
amx_task 01:01 "mp_timelimit 25" t
amx_task 01:02 "mapcyclefile mapcyclefile.txt" t

one nice thing about this plugin is delayed action, like shutdown

alias shutdown "exec shutdown.cfg"
---
file shutdown.cfg
--
amx_tsay red Shutting down server in 10 seconds
amx_task 10 "quit" s
amx_task 7 "amx_tsay red Server shutting down, come back later." s
--

then you just send "shutdown" to hlds via your favorite admin tool.

This plugin has endless possibilities, thx for the port!

Yea I have tried that. And the server just gets stuck in a loop on the first map in the new cycle. If you do a listmaps in the console, it shows the new mapcycle so I know it changed. But like I said, it just keeps running the first map over and over.
In fact, just typing in "mapcyclefile newcycle.txt" causes the same issue.

Any idea why?

hrmm... update.
It turns out that the server only gets stuck on the first map for about 3 mapcycles. Then after that it finally starts to go through the other maps. I need to test some other stuff I guess.
I am going to get rid of the nextmap plugin. Maybe that had something to do with it?
nothing is ever easy....

you got that right - good luck in your testing.
