Can someone give me an example of how to use get_gametime() as that type of task

example:

PHP Code:

// on takedamage
Call_funtion(attacker) 


PHP Code:

Public call_funtion(id)
{
             Remove_task(id+TASK_CALL_FUNTION)
             Set_task(5.5, "finish_call_funtion", id+TASK_CALL_FUNTION)
} 


I want to do exactly that but with get_gametime() and I have no idea how to use it. I have too many tasks and that's why I want to change to get_gametime()

It depends on what finish call function does.
If it is preventing repeated use then get_gametime() is a better idea. But if you want something to happen at exactly that time, it's better to stick with the task. Otherwise you would have to use some kind of think and compare a lot more to achieve the same result.

You can't execute a function x seconds later with get-gametime. What you probably saw was how to create a cooldown without set_task.

ok. Thanks for the answers.

If is there any question about it, I'll try to make it more clear with my basic knowledge about get_gametime() and get_systime(). I'll not explain what those natives are, you can read on API. But:
You can only use those natives for set a delay between things, like commands, hudmessage etc. But you can't set a task with that. Example:

You went add a delay for use a command, you can use get_gametime() or get_systime() instead of set_task(). Then instead of it:

PHP Code:

new bool:g_bUserCanUseCommand[33] 


PHP Code:

public cmd_command(id)
{
   if(!g_bUserCanUseCommand[id])
       return

   g_bUserCanUseCommand[id] = false
   set_task(30.0, "setTrue", id)
} 


PHP Code:

public setTrue(id)
{
    g_bUserCanUseCommand[id] = true
} 


You can do like this:

PHP Code:

new Float:g_fGameTime 


PHP Code:

public cmd_command(id)
{
    new Float:fGameTime = get_gametime()

    if(fGameTime >= g_fGameTime)
    {
        g_fGameTime = (fGameTime + 15.0) //  15.0 is the delay.
    }
    else
    {
        client_print(id, print_chat, "You need to wait %.0f seconds.", (g_fGameTime - fGameTime))
    }
} 


You can do the same with get_systime(), but if you wanna check small times like 0.1, 0.2 or something else that 's less than 1.0, you'll always use get_gametime().

Another example with hud messages:

PHP Code:

new Float:g_fGameTime 


PHP Code:

public client_PreThink(id)
{
    new Float:fGameTime = get_gametime()
    if(fGameTime >= g_fGameTime)
    {
        set_hudmessage(0, 255, 0, -1.0, 0.0, 0, 1.0, 1.0)
        show_hudmessage(id, "bla bla")
 
        g_fGameTime = (fGameTime + 1.0)
    }
}

Example 2 is quite useful. He gave me an idea. Since I have a global think.
