How can you make a timer like SM's CreateTimer function in a Module?

[psychonic]

In a SourceMod Extension (the rough equivalent to AMXX's "Modules"), you can use the ITimerSys interface exposed by the timersys pointer.

Call CreateTimer, giving it an ITimedEvent implementation as the callback. You can see a couple of examples of it in CSSM, https://github.com/alliedmodders/css...sdm_events.cpp

Assuming this is for a SourceMod Extension...

If you're using an extension based on the sample_ext extension:

• Open smsdk_config.h and change this:
  

  //#define SMEXT_ENABLE_TIMERSYS

  to this:
  

  #define SMEXT_ENABLE_TIMERSYS

• Create a new class that implements the ITimedEvent class. Specifically, you need to implement OnTimer and OnTimerEnd. As I recall, OnTimerEnd should call delete pTimer; as its last line.
• In the code where you want to create the timer, call timersys->CreateTimer and pass a pointer to a copy of your timer class as the first argument (something like new ClassHere()).

Oh, great. I thought that we had to create one from scratch in Extension too.

What about a MMS module ?

There is no timer API for MetaMod:Source plugins.

You would have to make your own implementation.

Well, so it'll be hard to create a timer system for MMS like in AMXx and MM it seems

[psychonic]

MM (Metamod) does not have a timer API either.

[TheDS1337]

Yes, that's what I said

[donrevan]

It's trivial to implement your own timer API in MM:S.
Just use GetGameTime(dunno SDK name) or even GetTickCount(see msdn) and check if time has passed every frame. Fire callback if it did.

Alternatively, you can probably create a new thread and call Sleep(not accurate) but you still have to sync with your main thread anyway.

Well, I'll be just using SM extension I guess. thanks for your answers!

There is a lot more to learn before I put myself in a project I am think on for a long time
