function ()

[Klesh]

Hello, how i can set every time a function, for example i have a respawn vehicle script but i want to set it every 1 hour by itselft, setTimer dont work for it, added

  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(getThisResource()),respawnVehicles) 
setTimer(1800000, 1, respawnVehicles) 

No works, only works when the resource starts.

Any recomendation?

addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(getThisResource()),respawnVehicles) 
setTimer(respawnVehicles, 1800000, 0) -- 0 = infinite.

local rElement = getRootElement() 
      
    function respawnVehicles(player) 
        outputChatBox("*In 60 seconds the system will returns the empty vehicles to the start.", rElement, 0, 220, 20, true) 
        setTimer(function (player) 
        local vehicles = getElementsByType ( "vehicle" ) 
        outputChatBox("*Empty Vehicles has been respawned.", rElement, 0, 220, 20, true) 
        outputDebugString(getPlayerName(player) .. " respawned vehicles.") 
        for k, vehicle in ipairs ( vehicles ) do 
            if isEmpty( vehicle ) then 
                    respawnVehicle ( vehicle ) 
                end 
            end 
        end,180000, 0) 
    end 
    addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(getThisResource()), respawnVehicles) 
      
    function isEmpty( vehicle ) 
        local passengers = getVehicleMaxPassengers( vehicle ) 
        if type( passengers ) == 'number' then 
            for seat = 0, passengers do 
                if getVehicleOccupant( vehicle, seat ) then 
                    return false 
                end 
            end 
        end 
        return true 
    end

    outputChatBox("*Empty Vehicles has been respawned.", root, 0, 220, 20, true) 
    for k, vehicle in ipairs ( vehicles ) do 
        if isEmpty( vehicle ) then 
            respawnVehicle ( vehicle ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
setTimer(respawnVehicles, 180000, 0) 
  
function isEmpty( vehicle ) 
    local passengers = getVehicleMaxPassengers( vehicle ) 
    if (type( passengers ) == 'number') then 
        for seat = 0, passengers do 
            if getVehicleOccupant( vehicle, seat ) then 
                return false 
            end 
        end

    return true 
end

Like always i have little but big mistakes, thanks a lot.

[Castillo]

You're welcome.

and how you can put outputChatBox before to respawn to warnnin about this respawn

i mean, if some player leave the car for kill or do something and while he is walking he will loose his car..

[Castillo]

Well, he could add a timer of like 10 seconds into the respawnVehicles function.

[Klesh]

Do you mean set a timer warining to to warn the player, empty vehicles will be respawned?

Also, i must set the timer with it?

[Castillo]

I meant this:

function respawnVehicles() 
    outputChatBox("*Empty vehicles will be respawned in 10 seconds.", root, 255, 255, 0) 
    setTimer(function () 
    local vehicles = getElementsByType ( "vehicle" ) 
    outputChatBox("*Empty Vehicles has been respawned.", root, 0, 220, 20, true) 
    for k, vehicle in ipairs ( vehicles ) do 
        if isEmpty( vehicle ) then 
            respawnVehicle ( vehicle ) 
        end 
    end 
    end, 10000, 1) 
end 
setTimer(respawnVehicles, 180000, 0) 
  
function isEmpty( vehicle ) 
    local passengers = getVehicleMaxPassengers( vehicle ) 
    if (type( passengers ) == 'number') then 
        for seat = 0, passengers do 
            if getVehicleOccupant( vehicle, seat ) then 
                return false 
            end 
        end 
    end 
    return true 
end
