timer

Hey!

Im trying to show people that server gets refreshed in 30 minutes but when i change some stuff it bugs loot system

this is the right one.

function refreshItemLootPoints () 
    local time = getRealTime() 
    local hour = time.hour 
    outputChatBox("#ff2200ATTENTION #ffffff - Item refresh in 1 minute! #FF0000 BEWARE OF MASSIVE LAG!",getRootElement(),255,255,255,true) 
    setTimer(refreshItemLoots,60000,1) 
end 
setTimer(refreshItemLootPoints,gameplayVariables["itemrespawntimer"] ,1) 

This is what i've done... if maybe someone can help? =)

function refreshItemLootasd () 
    local time = getRealTime() 
    local hour = time.hour 
    outputChatBox("#ff2200ATTENTION #ffffff- Item refresh in 30 minute!",getRootElement(),255,255,255,true) 
    setTimer(1800000,1) 
end

You have no function in setTimer() in the second code

Correct syntax is setTimer( [function], [time in ms], [number of executions] )

[matttu]

So it should look like this?

function refreshItemLootasd () 
    local time = getRealTime() 
    local hour = time.hour 
    outputChatBox("#ff2200ATTENTION #ffffff- Item refresh in 30 minute!",getRootElement(),255,255,255,true) 
    setTimer(refreshItemLoots, 1800000, 1) 
end

Indeed, go ahead and try it out and let me know if it works

EDIT: You are using a different function inside setTimer than the one that displays the message, right? Otherwise it will just continue displaying the message every 30 minutes.

setTimer(refreshItemLootasd, 1800000, 1)

setTimer(refreshItemLoots, 60000, 1)

The forum is censoring the function names

I just want to know if the function name in this line:

function :~ () 

is different from the function name in this line:

setTimer(:~, 1800000, 1)
