alternative to getTickCount

[capitanazop]

hi, i have a problem with getTickCount in script of my friend, any alternative to this function?

bye

Maybe posting the problem would be better then searching for a alternative. I don't think that theres much of a alternative doing the same then GetTickCount. Unless you want to make a timer and adjust a local value all the time, i dont think so.

the gettickcount function doesnt work, the mta server dont run the gamemode.

Yeah, its an MTA bug (resolved in 1.0). You could try something like getRealTime and get the seconds.

we have this

Server

  
-- somewhere in the code... 
triggerClientEvent( client, "model_select", getRootElement(), skinModels ) --skinModels is a table 
  

Client

  
function start_selection( tModels )  
    models = tModels 
       --[[ 
           .... some code .... ]]    
    spawn() 
end 
  
function spawn() 
    --math.randomseed( getTickCount() ) 
    local model_id = math.random( 1, #models ) 
        
        --[[ 
           .... some code .... ]] 
end 
  
addEvent( "model_select", true ) 
addEventHandler( "model_select", getRootElement(), start_selection ) 
  

(just in case, the table models is correct, the problem is not with the table )

if i enter the server for first time, model_id will return 1. So i have to reconnect and the script will run correctly with no errors and model_id will return a correct random number.

So i asked in irc and somebody told me to put math.randomseed( getTickCount() ) before generating the random number (model_id) and it worked perfectly.

But later in newer nightlies this problem came back and the script wont work at all. So after doing some outputChatBox( getTickCount() ) i realized that it returned always 0

Right now im using r562
