Loop while player is alive

How would I create a loop that executes a command every x amount of seconds while the player is alive.

Re: Loop while player is alive

How about CreateTimer(1.0, DatTimer, client, TIMER_REPEAT) and keep a Float:g_fTimerCount[MAXPLAYERS + 1] increasing by 1.0 each iteration of the timer. If they're alive, increase g_fTimerCount. If they're dead, set g_fTimerCount back to 0.0 and wait for them to spawn. If g_fTimerCount >= CommandDelay, g_fTimerCount = 0, IssueCommand. Pesudodrunkocodo.

Can you write this out in code?

For example, if I already have:

Code:

public Event_PlayerSpawn(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast) {

                new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"))



//Create the timer stuff here



}



public Action:whattodo(Handle:timer, any:user_index)

{

//Does whatever

}

What do I need to put within the Even_PlayerSpawn meathod so that it executes whattodo on the client every few seconds.

Re: Loop while player is alive

PHP Code:


		
			
public Event_PlayerSpawn(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast) {
        new client = GetClientOfUserId(GetEventInt(event, "userid"))
        CreateTimer(1.0,whattodo,client,TIMER_REPEAT);
}

public Action:whattodo(Handle:timer, any:client)
{
    if(IsPlayerAlive(client))
    {
        //dostuff
    } else {
        CloseHandle(whattodo);
    }
}

Something roughly like this would do.

CloseHandle(whattodo); ? why not use return Plugin_Stop;

Re: Loop while player is alive

Because I don't tend to write many timers using TIMER_REPEAT, and while I considered return Plugin_Stop, I wasn't entirely sure it worked in that instance.

Re: Loop while player is alive

I suggest use global Handle, create timer using Handle array index by client index... (what I writing here ?)

Anyway.

*edit
~~dam, I noticed if in timer userid return 0, it empty that array index.....~~
Then let use only client indexs
