Try to think what will happen when 2 players are spawned.
Safe is a "global" variable that can only hold one value. So when player 2 spawns, the timer that was created for player 1 will be overwritten and can't be stopped or deleted. Keep doing that for a few times and you got yourself a laggy server.

You can either use 1 timer, and loop through all players checking if they're spawned and near the vault.
Or you need to use an array that will holp the timer for each player.

can u explain what is this system?

can u explain what is this system?

What he means is that you create a timer and then you create another timer and another and another and so on. And you create them all in the same storage unit. A global variable called `Safe`. The line of code in `onPlayerSpawn()` will essentially do this:

Safe <- NewTimer( "CheckSafe", 3000, 0, player.ID );
Safe <- NewTimer( "CheckSafe", 3000, 0, player.ID );
Safe <- NewTimer( "CheckSafe", 3000, 0, player.ID );
Safe <- NewTimer( "CheckSafe", 3000, 0, player.ID );
Safe <- NewTimer( "CheckSafe", 3000, 0, player.ID );

Safe <- NewTimer( "CheckSafe", 3000, 0, player.ID );
Safe <- NewTimer( "CheckSafe", 3000, 0, player.ID );
Safe <- NewTimer( "CheckSafe", 3000, 0, player.ID );

Safe <- NewTimer( "CheckSafe", 3000, 0, player.ID );

Safe <- NewTimer( "CheckSafe", 3000, 0, player.ID );
Safe <- NewTimer( "CheckSafe", 3000, 0, player.ID );

Safe <- NewTimer( "CheckSafe", 3000, 0, player.ID );
Safe <- NewTimer( "CheckSafe", 3000, 0, player.ID );
Safe <- NewTimer( "CheckSafe", 3000, 0, player.ID );
// ... Endlesly (So look careful at your mistake)
Which timer instance do you think will be in that variable after a while? All of them or just one? And if is just one then which one?

To make this abundantly clear I want to add this line of code at the beginning in your `CheckSafe()` function:

Code Select Expand

print("User with ID " + user + " triggered CheckSafe() function.");

• And then I want you to go in the game and Spawn once. You will see one of those message with your player ID every 3 seconds.
• Now I want you to die and spawn again. You will see two of those message with your player ID every 3 seconds.
• Now I want you to die and spawn again. You will see three of those message with your player ID every 3 seconds.
• Now I want you to die and spawn again. You will see four of those message with your player ID every 3 seconds.
• Now I want you to die and spawn again. You will see five of those message with your player ID every 3 seconds.
• Now I want you to die and spawn again. You will see six of those message with your player ID every 3 seconds.
• Now I want you to die and spawn again. You will see seven of those message with your player ID every 3 seconds.
• Now I want you to die and spawn again. You will see eight of those message with your player ID every 3 seconds.
• Now I want you to die and spawn again. You will see nine of those message with your player ID every 3 seconds.
• Now I want you to die and spawn again. You will see ten of those message with your player ID every 3 seconds.
• ... Now I want you to keep doing that for a while and keep counting how many of those messages are printed every 3 seconds.

And keep in mind that there's only 1 player on the server now! So I want to to become super genius today and do the math for a normal game session and the amount of spawns that happen during that session.

I'm not sure how much you will understand from this but here's an example on how you should start your scripts. Look at the `SafeUpdate` function in there:

This makes it less lag?

[Kratos_]

I couldn't get one thing .

If the player is at a distance of 1 unit from your specified co-ordinate then it will teleport the player first & then it sets the widescreen mode to true . But just after 0.5 seconds ( Timer Wakeup Iteration : 500 miliseconds ) it will set the game screen back to normal . Both the conditions behave practically same to the game screen except the player will be teleported to different location . ( Your code says it all )

Since the time lag is just 0.5 seconds between the two screen modes , the overall result will be a normal screen . What have you intended to do actually ?

[.]

I couldn't get one thing .

I wondering about that too. It made no sense when I read the code. But since I don't play the game and I'm not familiar with all the nonsense in these implementations, I thought it was just me who couldn't get it. But now I see that this whole code is just nonsense.

To be teleported to the bank vault.
