If you look at the engine code:
Code:
void SV_Frame(void)
{
if (!g_psv.active)
{
return;
}
gGlobalVariables.frametime = host_frametime;
g_psv.oldtime = g_psv.time;
SV_CheckCmdTimes();
SV_ReadPackets();
if (SV_IsSimulating())
{
SV_Physics();
g_psv.time += host_frametime;
}
SV_QueryMovevarsChanged();
SV_RequestMissingResourcesFromClients();
SV_CheckTimeouts();
SV_SendClientMessages();
SV_CheckMapDifferences();
SV_GatherStatistics();
Steam_RunFrame();
}
SV_Physics won't be called if paused ( pfnStartFrame/ Think/ Touch/etc).
The engine doesn't provide a global API function above, but it would be still possible to hook for example SV_ReadPackets with a signature.
That's said, I don't know if it makes sense to do that just for task. |
Thanks for answer, for me this makes sense, set_task isn't doing his task as you showed in the code, according the docs "Calls a function after a specified time has elapsed".
Regarding antiflood's plugin, it also has the same problem, because it uses get_gametime().
Maybe it should be replaced with get_systime(), but this function only returns seconds and not miliseconds... What can be done to solve this problem?
I would like to contribute with this but unfortunately is out of my knowledge.
