It will give me client index error, i suppose because there is not client handle ?

public Action Timer_TEST(Handle timer)
{
	CPrintToChatAll("%t", "translation_message" sName);
			
}

PHP Code:

    ...




    int userid = GetClientUserId(client);
    
    CreateTimer(10.0, delay, userid);
}

public Action delay(Handle timer, any userid)
{

    int client = GetClientOfUserId(userid);

    if(client == 0 || !IsClientInGame(client))
        return Plugin_Continue;


    //CPrintToChatAll("%t", client, "translation_message", "Random Name ?"); // I guess you not need add client in translation %t when use PrintToChat*
    CPrintToChatAll("%t", "translation_message", "Random Name ?");

    return Plugin_Continue;
} 


You could also show your translation file.

I can not do that because my timer is created OnPluginStart
"int userid = GetClientUserId(client);"

you need to do a loop through all connected and nonfake clients then.

Plugin:

PHP Code:

public Action Timer_TEST(Handle timer)
{
    for(int client = 1; client <= MaxClients; client++)
    {
        if(IsClientInGame(client) && !IsFakeClient(client))
        {
            CPrintToChat(client, "%T", "translation_message", client, client);
        }
    }    
} 


Translation file:

PHP Code:

"Phrases"
{
    "translation_message"
    {
        "#format"        "{1:N}"
        "en"            "This is translated message for {1}."
    }
}

Cruze, it works too

PHP Code:

public Action Timer_TEST(Handle timer)
{
    for(int client = 1; client <= MaxClients; client++)
    {
        if(IsClientInGame(client) && !IsFakeClient(client))
        {
            CPrintToChat(client, "%t", "translation_message", client);
        }
    }    
}

Yes thank you i figured it out like that:

#define IS_VALID_CLIENT(%1)     (%1 > 0 && %1 <= MaxClients)
#define IS_VALID_INGAME(%1)     (IS_VALID_CLIENT(%1) && IsClientInGame(%1))

public Action: Timer_DoingStuff ( Handle:timer )
{
    AnotherThing();
}

stock AnotherThing ( client = -1 )
{
    CPrintToChatAll("%t", "translation_done", client);
}

The whole difficulty now is that i have to get the name of a particular client that was in an array and trigger on player disconnect ...

If you want to show a message with the name of a client. Won't work if the client has disconnected during the timer interval.

PHP Code:

void SomeFunction(int client)
{
    CreateTimer(1.0, Timer_TEST, GetClientUserId(client));
}


Action Timer_TEST(Handle timer, any data)
{
    int client = GetClientOfUserId(data);
    if (!client) // check if client disconnected during that 1s delay
    {
        return Plugin_Stop;
    }
    CPrintToChatAll("%t", "translation_message", client); // CPrintToChatAll loops CPrintToChat, it is a bit special as it allows %t instead of %T

    return Plugin_Stop;
} 


example translation file (@Cruze 's example)

PHP Code:

"Phrases"
{
    "translation_message"
    {
        "#format"        "{1:N}" // 1=client index
        "en"            "This is translated message for {1}."
    }
} 


Still want the message to show even if the player disconnected? A bit more annoying, you'll have to use a DataPack.
Here's the code for it:

-- If you want to show a message with the name of a client. WILL work if the client has disconnected during the timer interval. --
-- You can also call SomeFunction() on OnClientDisconnect(), because OnClientDisconnect() is a pre-hook, so the client is still counted as in the game when it's called. --

PHP Code:

void SomeFunction(int client)
{
    // Get client name
    char sName[MAX_NAME_LENGTH + 1];
    GetClientName(client, sName, sizeof(sName));

    // Store the client name in a datapack
    DataPack hData = new DataPack();
    hData.WriteCell(GetClientOfUserId(client)); // Pass the client userid in the datapack, optional, but could be useful
    hData.WriteString(buffer); // Pass the client name in the datapack
    CreateTimer(1.0, Timer_TEST, hData);
}


Action Timer_TEST(Handle timer, any data)
{
    // ALWAYS DO 'delete data;' BEFORE EXITING THE TIMER!

    data.Reset(); // Resets the cursor/position in the datapack
    int client = GetClientOfUserId(data.ReadCell());
    if (!client) // check if client disconnected during that 1s delay
    {
        delete data; // Prevents a memory leak
        return Plugin_Stop;
    }

    char sName[MAX_NAME_LENGTH + 1];
    data.ReadString(sName, sizeof(sName));
    delete data; // Prevents a memory leak
    CPrintToChatAll("%t", "translation_message", sName); // CPrintToChatAll loops CPrintToChat, it is a bit special as it allows %t instead of %T

    return Plugin_Stop;
} 


example translation file

PHP Code:

"Phrases"
{
    "translation_message"
    {
        "#format"        "{1:s}" // 1=client name
        "en"            "This is translated message for {1}."
    }
} 


You could also use CreateDataTimer() but I never use it personally.
