This isn't actually a script question, but I figure the people who frequent this forum would know the answer best.

I know need to know what kind of numbers (integers, decimal, real numbers, etc.) the configs/convars will read?

This is my config for a cronjob I want to run for map changes/warnings sent out before the restart:

Code:

// Say reboot notice to server 10 mins prior

// Starting at 7:50:00AM CST

sc_addjob 0 ? 7 7 50 50 "say Server is restarting in 10 minutes!"



// Say reboot notice to server 5 mins prior

// Starting at 7:55:00AM CST

sc_addjob 0 ? 7 7 55 55 "say Server is restarting in 5 minutes!"



// Say reboot center-screen notice to server 45 seconds prior

// Starting at 7:59:15AM CST

sc_addjob 0 ? 7 7 59.25 59.25 "sm_csay Server is restarting in 45 seconds, please reconnect!"



// Say reboot menu-say notice to server 40 seconds prior

// Starting at 7:59:20AM CST

sc_addjob 0 ? 7 7 59.33 59.33 "sm_msay Server is restarting in 40 seconds, reconnect!"



// Say reboot admin-chat notice to server 30 seconds prior

// Starting at 7:59:30AM CST

sc_addjob 0 ? 7 7 59.5 59.5 "sm_say Server is restarting in 30 seconds, reconnect!"



// Reboot the server on Sunday once a week at 8am CST

sc_addjob 0 ? 8 8 0 1 "quit"



// Say reboot notice to server 10 mins prior

// Starting at 7:50:00AM CST

sc_addjob 3 ? 7 7 50 50 "say Server is restarting in 10 minutes!"



// Say reboot notice to server 5 mins prior

// Starting at 7:55:00AM CST

sc_addjob 3 ? 7 7 55 55 "say Server is restarting in 5 minutes!"



// Say reboot center-screen notice to server 45 seconds prior

// Starting at 7:59:15AM CST

sc_addjob 3 ? 7 7 59.25 59.25 "sm_csay Server is restarting in 45 seconds, please reconnect!"



// Say reboot menu-say notice to server 40 seconds prior

// Starting at 7:59:20AM CST

sc_addjob 3 ? 7 7 59.33 59.33 "sm_msay Server is restarting in 40 seconds, reconnect!"



// Say reboot admin-chat notice to server 30 seconds prior

// Starting at 7:59:30AM CST

sc_addjob 3 ? 7 7 59.5 59.5 "sm_say Server is restarting in 30 seconds, reconnect!"



// Reboot the server on Wednesday once a week at 8am CST

sc_addjob 3 ? 8 8 0 1 "quit"

Will this work as I wrote for the notes? Am I able to use decimals like 59.5 to represent 30 seconds before the hour?

Also, does it matter if I use "quit" instead of "_restart"?

Depends on the plugin that is reading the cvar. For instance, a plugin can use the following functions to read a cvar:

GetConVarBool()
GetConVarInt()
GetConVarFloat()
GetConVarString()

So, if the plugin is expecting a integer and you set a float, you would not get the result you expected. Likewise, if you set a string and it expects a float. If you don't know what it is expecting... check the source code or run some tests.

Thanks for the response Anti. The plugin is server crontab.

Integers not floats... took a bit to track down, but it appears to deal with integers only.

Thanks a lot anti, I really appreciate it. I assume in the future, there will be some definition for how long a string/floating point variable is valid? Or is that up to sourcemod?

Now to figure out how to schedule actions within one minute >__<

Not sure I understand the question.

As in, how many digits? 1.33 or 1.3333333? How many digits would be legitimate?

For strings, it's completely up to the plugin.

For floating point, it's likely an implementation of IEEE754... which are actually storing two parts of an equation: X * 2^Y

Needless to say, floating point are not high accuracy.
