It needs to be triggered by something a npc or a player via when login or when kill or something like that

 

local name = pc.get_name()

server_timer("name",5)

 

when name.server_timer begin

[Necro 74]

But i need that name = pc.get_name

 

Your case wil be onlny named name so pc.get_name = TestPlayer but name = name

Why you need the player name to be the name for your server timer? Do you want to use it? Or what?

i think he want. Try it with playerID and a Query to read Player.

BUT!!! You CAN'T Use pc.xxxxxx commands in Server timer!
There's NO! Player Instance without change the Server Timer Function!

It ends in a crash if you try to use a pc.xxxx Function

 

Greatz

I trew:

 

function name()
    local jmeno = mysql_query("SELECT name from player_test.player WHERE name='"..pc.get_name().."' LIMIT 1")
end
when [test_quest.name(jmeno[1])].server_timer begin

and that:

		when (mysql_query("SELECT name from player_test.player WHERE name='"..pc.get_name().."' LIMIT 1")).server_timer begin

but result is the same: name must be give :/

Why you need the player name to be the name for your server timer? Do you want to use it? Or what?

 

I need timer for every player izolate and my first idea was do like that but if you know better solution?

Timer for every player? Not server timer, but timer. Simple timer.

Or you may work around with server timer arguments, but I don't think it will work for you.

 

You set argument like that:

server_timer("timer_name", time, numeric code)

And you get the argument like that:

when timer_name.server_timer begin
   local arg = get_server_timer_arg()
end

And because it's only numeric code you can use account id (pc.get_account_id())

DB Crash after that

Maybe you're doing it wrong... I can't help you without information.

server_timer("tombola", 10, ..pc.get_account_id())

when tombola.server_timer begin

I did like that

[Cataclismo 86]

Why ... near pc.get_account_id()? Use it simple:

server_timer("tombola", 10, pc.get_account_id())

But is still not enough information. Where do you start this timer? In a player trigger (like login, letter, levelup) or where?

[Necro 74]

when login begin

server_timer("tombola", 10, ..pc.get_account_id())

end

 

still crash

 

[Cataclismo 86]

 

when login begin

server_timer("tombola", 10, ..pc.get_account_id())

end

 

still crash

 

 

server_timer("tombola", 10, pc.get_account_id())

[Necro 74]

when login begin

server_timer("tombola", 10, pc.get_account_id())

end

 

still crash

[Benhero 23]

Crash after Login?
Or after the 10 Seconds?

[Necro 74]

After 10 seconds

[Cataclismo 86]

After 10 seconds

 

Then it's a problem from your timer.

Consider using only timer, not server_timer if you're planning to set a timer for every player.
