AlliedModders - [ANY] More Timers

More Timers is an extension that adds the IntervalTimer and CountdownTimer classes from the Source SDK as Handle methodmaps.

This is useful if you want Valve-style timers without having to keep track of timestamps and durations by yourself.

Yes, you can technically do something similar in SourcePawn with enum structs already, but it is a bit of a pain if you want to store the timer state (which is precisely why I made this).

Example:

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <moretimers>

CountdownTimer g_PrintCountdownTimer;
IntervalTimer g_PrintIntervalTimer;

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    // Initialize our timer variables.
    // Remember to close Handles using the 'delete' operator to avoid memory leaks.
    g_PrintCountdownTimer = new CountdownTimer();
    g_PrintIntervalTimer = new IntervalTimer();
}

public void OnClientPutInServer(int client)
{
    // Start the countdown timer. If restarted while already running, the elapsed time resets.
    g_PrintCountdownTimer.Start(3.0);
}

public void OnGameFrame()
{
    // Use the countdown timer.
    if (g_PrintCountdownTimer.HasStarted() && g_PrintCountdownTimer.IsElapsed())
    {
        g_PrintCountdownTimer.Invalidate();
        LogMessage("New player(s) have joined the server.");
    }
    
    // Start and use the interval timer.
    if (!g_PrintIntervalTimer.HasStarted())
    {
        g_PrintIntervalTimer.Start();
    }
    else if (g_PrintIntervalTimer.IsGreaterThan(10.0))
    {
        g_PrintIntervalTimer.Invalidate();
        LogMessage("This log message sends every 10 seconds.");
    }
}
