Timers

[tosfera]

Hey guys,

I'm creating a hunger system and this is how I'm working on it right now. The player logs in, and receives a hunger data, a timer will be created and he will lose hunger depending on his walking speed. My question is;

I created the timer server sided, when a player logs or disconnects the timer gets destroyed. I've tested it with 1 other guy in my server. My timer goes forward but will this also continue if there are more then 2 players?

this is the timer part;

... 
hungerTimer = setTimer(startHunger, 1000, 1, source); 
... 
  
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit", root, 
    function () 
        killTimer ( hungerTimer ); 
    end 
);

Well the best option for server side would be , to create a table with 2 value's.

table.name = getPlayerName(LogedPlayer)

table.timer = setTimmer(.......)

then on playerQuit , you can get his name =>> find him in the table =>> killTimer=>> table.remove

But why not make it client side then you can use dxDraw/Gui ?

Or make only a timmer , and loop trought all player's. Then you don't need to kill it.

The dxDraw is already client sided, but I'm not sure why I made it server sided. Does these functions even work on client side? Not sure because of the sync;

setElementHealth 

think it does, I'll give it a shot.

It should work

Got it working on client sided, that was easier then I thought. Copied my code into client sided, changed source to localPlayer and BAM, worked.

thanks!

Well both of them will work , now it's up to you if you wanna only draw it by text,number or you wanna show it to, with a progressbar.

Also you can use:

onClientElementDataChange
