setPedControlState problem

[Cassandra]

It doesn't make the bot jump when clearpath, jumping and isTimer is equals to false. It occurs frequently but randomly.

Inside onClientRender

  
local jumping = getPedControlState(bot, "jump") 
local clearpath = isLineOfSightClear(px, py, pz+2, x, y, z+2, true, true, false, true, false, true, false) 
            outputChatBox("Clear: " .. tostring(clearpath)) 
            outputChatBox("Jumping: " .. tostring(jumping)) 
  
if((clearpath == false) and (jumping == false) and (isTimer(jumpTimer) == false)) then 
             
                setPedAnimation(bot) 
                setPedControlState(bot, "jump", true) 
                jumpTimer = setTimer(setPedControlState, 500, 1, bot, "jump", false) 
             
            end

local clearpath = isLineOfSightClear(px, py, pz+2, x, y, z-2, true, true, false, true, false, true, false)-- -2 

ignoredElement: Allow the line of sight to pass through a certain specified element.

I don't understand.

getElementPosition = middle of the ped (0)

The distances from the body (middle of the ped) is circa 0.6. (depends how long this ped is)

The lines starts 1.4 a both the head of the ped.

Well thanks for that. How can I fix the timer problem?

[IIYAMA]

timers lagg...

https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GetTickCount

local lastTickCount = 0 
addEventHandler ( "onClientRender", root, 
    function () 
        if getTickCount() - lastTickCount > 300/getGameSpeed() then --Divided by gamespeed to reduce bugs. 
            lastTickCount = getTickCount()  
        end 
    end 
end)

end) 

Thanks a lot. I will try it and post the results.

Edit: What's the 300 for?

[IIYAMA]

made a mistake, updated.

300 milliseconds

It means it can only executed every 300 milliseconds.

[Cassandra]

Gotcha. How would I go about checking if the timer is running or not?

[IIYAMA]

You talking about tick-count from a both?

--running: 
if getTickCount() - lastTickCount > 300/getGameSpeed() then 

--not Running: 
if  getTickCount() - lastTickCount < 300/getGameSpeed() then   
--or  
if not getTickCount() - lastTickCount > 300/getGameSpeed() then 

or just an ordinary timer?

Normal timer, if the Timer ends it will be gone.

isTimer()

isTimer() 

And to start it I will use this code right?

lastjumptime = getTickCount()

Inside onClientRender

It is not like a real timer, your onClientRender is your timer.

getTickCount() is just a value you can use.

Every time your pc creates a render value, it request the join machine time.

This is a Sample with frames, not tickCount. But tickCount is preciser in scripting.

  
local startFrame = 0  
local frame = 0 
  
frame = frame + 1 
if frame-startFrame > 3 then --no 1 - 0 =  1 
startFrame = frame 
end 
outputChatBox(frame) --1 
--------- 
  
frame = frame + 1 
if frame-startFrame > 3 then -- no  2 - 0 =  2 
startFrame = frame 
end 
outputChatBox(frame) --2 
--------- 
  
frame = frame + 1 
if frame-startFrame > 3 then -- no   3 - 0 =  3 
startFrame = frame 
end 
outputChatBox(frame) --3 
--------- 
  
frame = frame + 1 
if frame-startFrame > 3 then -- yes!!!!!!    4 - 0 =  4 
startFrame = frame -- STARTFRAME GET FINAL HIS NEW VALUE !!!! "4" 
end 
outputChatBox(frame) --4 
--------- 

and now:

frame = frame + 1 
if frame-startFrame > 3 then -- no the som is now:  5 - 4 = -1   is -1 higher than 3? 
startFrame = frame 
end 
outputChatBox(frame .. "   " .. startFrame) --5    4 
---------

Woah thanks for the explanation. Finally understood how it works. Kudos to you.

[IIYAMA]

I updated the sample a little bit.
