Action every given time from the beginning

[kennedyarz]

Hi guys.
a question. Can I make an action run every 30 seconds once the server is turned on? example:

Code Select Expand

Function Blablabla ()
{
Message ("Bla bla bla")
}it's an example

This message must be transmitted every 30 seconds once the server is started

Yes

You can use this

Code Select Expand

function onServerStart()
{
NewTimer("MessengerAllGlobal", 40000, 0 );
}

function MessengerAllGlobal()
{
if ( GetPlayers() >= 1 )
{
local RanNum = Random(1, 5);
if ( RanNum == 1 )  Message("Blabla1");
else if ( RanNum == 2 )  Message("Blabla2");
else if ( RanNum == 3 )  Message("IBlabla3");
else if ( RanNum == 4 )  Message("Blabla4");
else if ( RanNum == 5 ) Message( "Blabla5");
}

function Random(min=0, max=RAND_MAX)
{
local r = rand();
srand(GetTickCount() * r);
return (r % ((max + 1) - min)) + min;
}

function onServerStart()
{
NewTimer("MessengerAllGlobal", 40000, 0 );
}

function MessengerAllGlobal()

local RanNum = Random(1, 5);
if ( RanNum == 1 )  Message("Blabla1");
else if ( RanNum == 2 )  Message("Blabla2");
else if ( RanNum == 3 )  Message("IBlabla3");
else if ( RanNum == 4 )  Message("Blabla4");
else if ( RanNum == 5 ) Message( "Blabla5");
}

function Random(min=0, max=RAND_MAX)
{
local r = rand();
srand(GetTickCount() * r);
return (r % ((max + 1) - min)) + min;
}

But you think it will work.? Could it be that he will only give one advertisement? And will not announce more?

I see no reason to not use an array instead of those life-taking hell of if statements

If you want just 1 just set it like this:  local RanNum = Random(1, 1);

I just gave an example of how i did it, and it works fine.
Maybe you can show how to do it in a different "more efficient way"

dunno if its efficient, but its better than typing if all the time.

Code Select Expand

yourMsgs <- [ "Message 1",
"Message 2" ]; //....
function RandMsg(){
Message( yourMsgs[ Random( 0, yourMsgs.len() - 1 ) ] );
}I was not talking about efficiency, for a lazy person like me, its hard to type 100 if statements if you got 100 messages to print.

LMAO

    MessageAll("Blah Blah Blah!!!");
}

The truth is that thanks @Eva, I worked as you say, and @KAKAN my function was not to give messages, just an example. Topic solved
