As the title says, can u help me with what is causing this server crash.

I was working on a plugin and i got a few of these, with no error logs or any indication what caused it.

infinite loop

PHP Code:

set_task(1.0, "checkPlayers", TASKID_AFK_CHECK, _, _, "b"); 


this ??

Not really, he means that in your code there is an infinite loop somewhere, like if a function is calling itself. By the way which plugin does cause the timeout?

I didn't think so, but anyway, that's the only infinite loop.

And i dont know which plugin, it would be much easier if i did, but probably the new one ive been working on, there isn't a reason for any old plugins to suddenly start doing that.

by infinite loop they mean infinite recursion or for / while loops, not a delayed task, that can't freeze the server, while(true){}; can

I know what an infinite loop is but no, there are just a few of these

PHP Code:

for ( new i = 1; i <= MAX_PLAYERS; i++ )

make sure that the value of i is not being modified inside the loop
also, in case you use this loop to go through players, I would heavily recommend using get_players instead

[maqi]

Its not being modified, good idea tho.

And yes im using because i recently read that get_players is shamed upon, so what is it in the end ?

I also check for

PHP Code:

 is_user_connected(i) && !is_user_bot(i) && !is_user_hltv(i) 


so i dont get any errors.

Better loop with get_players.

#if !defined MAX_PLAYERS
    #define MAX_PLAYERS 32
#endif

new players[MAX_PLAYERS], pnum
get_players(players, pnum, "ahc") // 'a' - alive / 'c' - skip bots / 'h' - skip hltv

new id //,count
for (--pnum; pnum >= 0; pnum--) // for (count = 0; count < pnum; count++)
{
    id = players[pnum] // players[count]
    
    // Do something with the player
}
