Is it possible to pass an event handle through a timer (like below)?

public void Event_Death(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
CreateTimer(20.0, HCD, event);
}

public Action HCD(Handle timer, Handle event)
{
PrintToServer("%i", event.GetInt("userid"));
}

I know I can make a datatimer and pass all of the events through that, but it would be much easier to just pass the event its self through the timer.

Why you dont have a try?I think it may work

Set event handle to timer (not possible however)

Quick answer, you can't, Handle get deleted after event callback.

Ah, good to know, thanks.

Oh,I see ,you mean is that the event callback will destroy handle on return,only to use datatimer to save all datas of event can delay,that's right? thanks for you answer

yep

*edit
I just tested just for fun... seems timer callback didn't reach end of own callback when I use that deleted event. :/ No errors tough. something viewrd

I suppose you could clone the event handle and remember to close it later CreateEvent a new one, fill in its fields you care about, and Cancel it later.

Yes, this work.

In this code, I close Event handle by timer TIMER_DATA_HNDL_CLOSE (or is Cancel must ?)
See posts below

PHP Code:

#include <sdktools>

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    HookEvent("player_death", player_death);
}

public void player_death(Event event, const char[] name, bool dontBroadcast)
{
    Event newevent = CreateEvent("player_death");
    newevent.SetInt("userid", event.GetInt("userid"));
    newevent.SetInt("attacker", event.GetInt("attacker"));

    CreateTimer(3.0, delay, newevent);
}

public Action delay(Handle timer, Event newevent)
{
    PrintToServer("Userid %i", newevent.GetInt("userid"));
    PrintToServer("attacker %i", newevent.GetInt("attacker"));
    newevent.Cancel(); // Must Cancel created Event
} 


...ok, one benefit with this, you can continue using Event functions, if you like



*edit
Need Cancel Event #13

This feels like disaster. I think you should use datapacks instead.

This is actually a really good idea. You can pass data with custom names you give and use the native binary write system the source engine utilizes. Since sourcemod isn't freaking out about non existing event parameters and you aren't firing the event that would clog up the event system, I don't see any issue with using that. Assuming the TIMER_DATA_HNDL_CLOSE parameter is actually freeing the memory. I like it because you can define a string that represents an array index like in python.
