Auto-Removing Pickups

[3416]

Hello everyone, hope you have a nice day.
I want the pickup created to be auto-removed in about 5 seconds if it stays idle and nobody touches it.
If a pickup is created like this:

Code Select Expand

function onPlayerCommand ( player, cmd, text )
if ( cmd == "pick" )
{
CreatePickup(368, player.World, 50, Vector(player.Pos.x, player.Pos.y, player.Pos.z), 255, true);
}


Please give an example, I will try my best to implement.

Explain a bit more. You create a pickup using the command. If no one enters the pickup within 5 seconds, it is auto removed. Right na?

Yes!

If you are doing with only 1 pickup:
Store the pickup id in an array/table with a false value when creating the pickup. Create a Timer to check the pickup

Code Select Expand

PickupEntered <- [];
 function onPlayerCommand ( player, cmd, text )
if ( cmd == "pick" )
{
local pic = CreatePickup(368, player.World, 50, Vector(player.Pos.x, player.Pos.y, player.Pos.z), 255, true);
PickupEntered <- [pic.ID, false];
NewTimer("checkpickup", 5000, 1);
}
On the event OnPickupPickedUp, change the value of false to true;

Code Select Expand

function onPickupPickedUp( player, pickup )
{
if(pickup.ID == PickupEntered[0])
{
PickupEntered[1] <- true;
}
}
The function checkpickup

Code Select Expand

function checkpickup()
{
 if(PickupEntered[1] == false)
{
local pickup = FindPickup(PickupEntered[0]);
if(pickup) pickup.Remove();
}
}

i will post my version. Before that i want to tell you
Vector(player.Pos.x, player.Pos.y, player.Pos.z) equals as player.Pos

here is my version.

Code Select Expand

function onPlayerCommand ( player, cmd, text )
if ( cmd == "pick" )
{
local pickup = CreatePickup(368, 0, 50, player.Pos, 254, true);
NewTimer( "check", 5000, 1, pickup.ID );
}Note that 254

Code Select Expand

function check( id )
{
      local pickup=FindPickup(id);
      if( pickup )pickup.Remove();
}


Code Select Expand

function onPickupPickedUp( player, pickup )
{
      if(pickup.Alpha==254)pickup.Remove();
}Again, note that 254

I hope you understood. There is a problem in this. The player is typing command "pick" and pickup is created. Where is the pickup created? Exactly where the player is standing. So what happens. It gets pickup up by the player automatically.

Or you can try

Code Select Expand

local pickup = CreatePickup(368, 0, 50, player.Pos+Vector(10,0,0), 254, true);to create pickup at a distance 10 meters.

Code Select Expand

if ( cmd == "pick" )
{
hp <- CreatePickup(368, Vector(-1195.89, 108.588, 11.1278));
NewTimer( "hp", 5000, 1, pickup.ID );
}
function onPickupPickedUp( player, pickup )
{
  if( pickup.Model == 368 ) 
{
hp.Remove();

}
 }

function hp( player, pickup ){
    if( pickup.Model == 368 ) {
    hp.Remove();
}}

Code Select Expand

hp.Remove(); // to remove

Thanks for the help everyone. I got the idea from habi's example . And other ones were helpful too.
