[Solved] How to Use get_time() or time() for specific hours?

WhiteFang1319 · **Author**

Hello.
I want some code to run at specific hours only so I've been searching and found this: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showth...highlight=time

It does help me but I want to with hours with intervals like: 10-11

0 and then 13

0-14

0.
Also I want to change the conditions for days on some specific days. Any Help?

Check if the retrieved hour value is between those values you need, it's simple as that.

For days you can use date().

I do get how to use between hours but I don't get how to use it with hours + minutes like 10:20-11:40. In my post it replaced by an emoji. Since I'm a beginner I don't know much. Also can you help me so that it calculates Saturdays and Sundays and changes the execution?

Thank you. I was able to make the code run at a specific time by doing like this:

Code:

/* Plugin generated by AMXX-Studio */

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>

#define PLUGIN "New Plug-In"
#define VERSION "1.0"
#define AUTHOR "AUTHOR"


public plugin_init() {
	register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
	register_clcmd("say /time", "timetest")
	
	// Add your code here...
}

public timetest(id)
{
	new sysdate[20]
	get_time("%A", sysdate, charsmax(sysdate) - 1) 
	new hour, iMin; time(hour, iMin); 
	server_print("Current day of week: [%s], Clock: [%d:%d]", sysdate, hour, iMin); 
	client_print(id, print_chat, "Current day of Week: [%s], Clock: [%d:%d]", sysdate, hour, iMin);
	
	if(hour == 12 && iMin << 59)
	{
		server_cmd("sv_restart 1")
	}
	
	else
	{
		client_print(id, print_chat, "You cannot start the game mode at this time");
	}
	
}

I still don't get how to make it work differently on some specific days: Saturdays and Sundays. Perhaps I should explain it better. In my server we have a custom game mode which we play for specific hours but sometimes admins start it by mistake so I wanted to add this feature. For these 2 days I want the time check to be removed. Any help?

PHP Code:


			
if(equal(sysdate, "Saturday") || equal(sysdate, "Sunday")) {
    //Your code
}

Thank you. It works now.

You don't actually need iMin << 59.
It doesn't do what you think as proven below, you probably meant to use < or <=.
But you don't need it at all actually. As long as the hour is 12 it doesn't matter what the minute is. It will always be between 0 and 59 so there's no point to even check it.

Code:

if(hour == 12 && iMin << 59)

->

Code:

if(hour == 12)

<< is used to shift bits to the left in binary operations.
If you use the code in the current state it won't run at 12:00 and at 12

Code:

iMin(00) << 59 = 0
