Something that i'm still not fully familiar with is set_task.

I'm currently creating an AIO plugin which will contain several tasks. This means, that every task should have a different id. To do this, you could define tasknames each with a different value.

The only thing i don't know is, when should i distract id with the task id?

I'll give you some examples.

I'm really not willing to use godmode as spawn protection. What i wanna do is set a task when the player spawns and call Ham_TakeDamage.

Within Ham_TakeDamage, i wanna check if that task exists, if it does, block the damage.

PHP Code:

#define PROTECTTASK 1996 


PHP Code:

RegisterHam(Ham_Spawn, "player", "FwPlayerSpawnPost", 1)
RegisterHam(Ham_TakeDamage, "player", "FwPlayerTakeDamagePre", 0) 


PHP Code:

public FwPlayerSpawnPost(id) {
    if(!get_pcvar_num(pCvarPlugin) || !get_pcvar_num(pCvarSpawnProtection)) {
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    }
    
    new Float:fProtectTime = get_pcvar_float(pCvarSpawnProtectionTime)
    
    FwPlayerTakeDamagePre(id)
    set_task(fProtectTime, "StopSpawnProtection", id + PROTECTTASK)
}

public FwPlayerTakeDamagePre(id) {
    if(!get_pcvar_num(pCvarPlugin) || !get_pcvar_num(pCvarSpawnProtection)) {
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    }
    
    if(task_exists(id + PROTECTTASK)) {
        return PLUGIN_HANDLED
    }
    return PLUGIN_CONTINUE
}

public StopSpawnProtection(id) {
    id = id - PROTECTTASK // Is this what i should do?
}

PHP Code:

public StopSpawnProtection(taskid) 
{
    new id = taskid - PROTECTTASK
} 


I'm not sure if this is what you wanted to ask.

[Napoleon_be]

Compiler will throw error since id isn't declared

[gabuch2]

Forgot "new"

edited it

[Napoleon_be]

Thanks, that's the only thing? Further i don't know what i should do within that function since i don't need to do anything except for that. It will always throw a warning that id is never used.

Well, with the way you wanted to provide protection there's not really anything else to do, maybe displaying a message to the player that its spawn protection is no longer active?

client_print(id, ... etc etc

After all, you don't need a task. Simply use get_gametime()
About the substract thing, you set the taskid to id + PROTECTTASK. If in task callback you want to do something with the player index, you can obtain it by substracting -PROTECTTASK, so you get only id. If you don't need the player index in that task, then don't add id to PROTECTTASK and use only that as task index.

PHP Code:

public something(id)
{
     set_task(..., ..., SomeRandomNumber + id)
}

public ...(TaskIndex)
{
    new id = TaskIndex - SomeRandomNumber
} 


That's basically: SomeRandomNumber + id - SomeRandomNumber = id.

public StopSpawnProtection(id) {}

Return values for ham forwards are:

HAM_IGNORED  /**< Calls target function, returns normal value */
HAM_HANDLED  /**< Tells the module you did something, still calls target function and returns normal value */
HAM_OVERRIDE    /**< Still calls the target function, but returns whatever is set with SetHamReturn*() */
HAM_SUPERCEDE   /**< Block the target call, and use your return value (if applicable) (Set with SetHamReturn*()) */

@Shattered Heart Lynx, that's probably the only thing i could do yes.

@HamletEagle, I'm not really familiar with get_gametime(), although thanks for the explanation, got me further.

@PartialCloning, thanks for reminding, i always forget that >.<

It should look something like this, I think:

PHP Code:

new Float:SafeTime[33] 


PHP Code:

RegisterHam(Ham_Spawn, "player", "FwPlayerSpawnPost", 1)
RegisterHam(Ham_TakeDamage, "player", "FwPlayerTakeDamagePre", 0) 


PHP Code:

public FwPlayerSpawnPost(id) {
    if(get_pcvar_num(pCvarPlugin) && get_pcvar_num(pCvarSpawnProtection))
        SafeTime[id] = get_gametime() + get_pcvar_float(pCvarSpawnProtectionTime)

    return HAM_IGNORED 
}

public FwPlayerTakeDamagePre(id, inflictor, attacker, Float:damage, dmgbits) {
    if(get_pcvar_num(pCvarPlugin) && get_pcvar_num(pCvarSpawnProtection) && SafeTime[id] >= get_gametime())
        return HAM_SUPERCEDE
    
    return HAM_IGNORED
} 


Returning HAM_SUPERCEDE on Ham_TakeDamage causes damage to not happen (there's multiple ways to ignore damage with Ham_TakeDamage).
