i think its better to use aray counter than to create another 32 tasks (if all players use command).

Yep, you are right

I have one more question

How do i remove this task?

PHP Code:

set_task(3.0, "lighting_task", _, _, _, "b")

With remove_task(), but you have to assign it a unique ID first (3rd argument).

[Depresie]

set_task(3.0, "lighting_task", _, _, TASK_LIGHT, "b")

?

like this?

I told you 3rd, not 5th. Like so:

PHP Code:

set_task(3.0, ,"lighting_task", TASK_LIGHT, _, _, "b"); 


To remove that task, just use

PHP Code:

remove_task(TASK_LIGHT); 


[Depresie]

yeah, figured that out thx

You can also specify the parameter directly instead of using placeholders.

PHP Code:

set_task(3.0, ,"lighting_task", TASK_LIGHT, _, _, "b"); 

set_task(3.0, ,"lighting_task", TASK_LIGHT, .flags="b"); 


And if you are creating this task on individual players, add their id to the task id. You then need to subtract the task id to get the player id in the called function. It looks like you have that part figured out.

You do not need to use task_exists() before calling remove_task(). You should only use that if you want to know if the task exists for some reason.

I must add something to that: make sure your per-player task IDs are spaced out by at least 32, like so:

PHP Code:

#define FIRST_PLAYER_TASK 640
#define SECOND_PLAYER_TASK 672
#define THIRD_PLAYER_TASK 704
// ... 


so when adding player ID to it, you don't interfere with other tasks' "ID range".

[Bugsy]

To not confuse him, KliPPy means having a 32 increment buffer between task-ids that are for a different purpose, not a separate task id for player1, player2, etc. Your naming could be taken the wrong way 'FIRST_PLAYER_', 'SECOND_PLAYER_'...

So along the lines of what he posted:

PHP Code:

#define TASK_SETFIRE 640
#define TASK_SETNOCLIP 672
#define TASK_WELCOMEMSG 704

It is a global task, not per player
I know how to get them right per player, i've been reading around your posts bugs, they helped me alot ^_^

Thanks Kippy about the task tip, i understood your point, very nice, i bet many people are doing that mistake..
