Stupid Timer

[Dice]

function triggerBlow( thePlayer, matchingDimension ) 
    if thePlayer then 
        if isElementWithinColShape ( thePlayer, dragarr ) then 
            triggerClientEvent ( root ,"killIntruder", thePlayer ) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", root, triggerBlow )   
setTimer ( triggerBlow, 1000, 0 ) 

Why doesn't this check every second? by the way the client event just creates a projectile, what I want to do is , while that person is in that colshape trigger the client event.

As of now all it is doing is shooting one missile, but I need to fire as long as I am in there.

function triggerBlow( thePlayer, matchingDimension ) 
    setTimer( 
    function( ) 
    if thePlayer then 
        if isElementWithinColShape ( thePlayer, dragarr ) then 
            triggerClientEvent ( root ,"killIntruder", thePlayer ) 
        end 
    end 
    end, 1000, 0 
    ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onColShapeHit", root, triggerBlow ) 

try this.

Would that be safe? because everytime a person walks in it will set a timer?

Nevermind, I had to put the timer in a variable, everything is good now.

you can use killTimer to get rid of a timer, and the code i gave you after massive amounts of people walk in the col shape, it will create that many timers, so it might create lag.

I can use isTimer to prevent that lag, but your code works thanks for the help =)

[manve1]

isTimer gets a specific timer,

example of how to get rid of a timer:

time = 30 
timer = setTimer( 
function() 
time = time - 1 
outputChatBox( time, root, 255, 255, 255 ) 
if ( time == 0 ) then 
killTimer( timer ) 
end 
end, 1000, 0 
) 

You're welcome after all.

Yes... I know........that is why i said i will put it in a variabelw and use istimer to check it if it created to prevent that lag
