get_gametime() returns the gaming time, and you know that the server freezes when executing code (because of single threading)

PHP is single threading too and if you run

PHP Code:

$start = time();
sleep(5);
$end = time();
echo $end-time; 


Will print 5.

The problem is that get_gametime is not updated when you call the native, it only access to the cached value that is updated somewhere as meTaLiCroSS explained.

PHPs time and AMXX get_gametime return different types of timestamps, so you cannot compare them. time is the same as amx_systime.

Yes but Mario said that my problem was because of the fact that AMXX is single threading, I only made a PHP example to show why he was wrong.

I said the gaming time lol.

You still cannot directly compare them as you are obtaining 2 different things. time and get_systime will always retrieve the current epoch time. get_gametime is returning the value of gpGlobals->time

[Neeeeeeeeeel.-]

But he is still wrong.

No he isn't. get_gametime() returns the time that the engine has processed, and is updated only on the next server frame at the earliest. Calling get_gametime() twice in the same AMXX function will always return the same value, because the engine isn't processing anything while your function is executed. This is due to the nature of the whole thing being single threaded. When you're calling another time function that returns a system-level unix timestamp it is obviously going to be updated, because your AMXX plugin certainly doesn't halt the entire operating system from processing. You're now using functions that work outside the HL engine, and that's a different thing entirely.

Ok, he was right
