starting a script on the 3 2 1 GO

[Faw[Ful]]

This script start when the map start , but it is possible to start it exactly after the 3 2 1 GO in race (after the GO) when the player can move, because the server wait for the other players and because of that waiting time is always different. :

addEvent("onRaceStateChanging",true) 
addEventHandler("onRaceStateChanging", getRootElement(),function ( state ) 
   if (state == "Running") then 
      --paste your stuff here 
   end 
end) 
  

if i remember there is also a state called "MidMapVote" - vhen someone is trying to vote for a nother map, after the vote is cancled state is changong to "Running" so it may be a litle problem...

the state when the contdown is starting (before it dysplay 3) is "GridCountdown"

[BinSlayer1]

@Wojak: So we'll check how many times the Running state has been started.

  
local times = 0   
addEvent("onRaceStateChanging",true) 
addEventHandler("onRaceStateChanging", getRootElement(),function ( state ) 
   if (state == "Running") then 
      times = times + 1 
      if (times == 1) then   
           --paste your stuff here 
      end 
   end 
end) 
  

Should work since the script will revert the times variable to 0 everytime the map resource is started

This part:

  
times = times + 1 
if (times == 1) then   
end 
  

Is totally pointless and unnecessary, think a bit how it can be anything less than 1.

Besides, "Running" state is set only once(when cars get unfrozen) while this resource is running.

[BinSlayer1]

@FFS-Racing: nope, it's also set when a votemap comes down to "Don't change" .

So counting how many times 'running' has been set and using it only the first time fixes this matter
