Timer Question

[Yunix]

Could somebody explain me how to make unique timers?

Like, i want to create a timer but only for that person that goes trough the function, so if multiple people go trough that function and also are going to get that timer i can kill the timers separately. So when the timer is assigned to a variable i don't want to kill all the timers but only the one that i need to kill.

Store the timers in a table for example.

local timers = {} 
  
function doSomething ( player ) 
    if isTimer ( timers[ player ] ) then 
        killTimer ( timers[ player ] ) 
    end 
  
    timers[ player ] = setTimer ( ... ) 
end

Thank you

You are welcome.

Got a new question, is it possible to store multiple functions inside the table assigned to the player? Like vehicles, timers, colsphere's etc

This should answer your question:

  
local PunishLevels = { 
  
function(player) 
--[[ Level 1 Punish (Just Warn) ]] 
outputChatBox("You have been warned for spamming, Please dont spam!", player, 255,255,255) 
end, 
  
function(player) 
--[[ Level 2 Punish (Second Warning) ]] 
outputChatBox("You have been warned for spamming again, Please dont spam!", player, 255,255,255) 
end, 
  
function(player) 
--[[ Level 3 Punish (Third Warning) ]] 
outputChatBox("You have been warned for spamming for the third time!, Please dont spam!", player, 255,255,255) 
end, 
  
function(player) 
--[[ Level 4 Punish (Mute Short time) ]] 
MutePlayer(player,600, "AntiSpam", "4th Level Punish") 
end 
} 
  
  

Then just calling the function with the assigned player in my case:

  
PunishLevels[PunishLevel](player) 
  
--EG: 
PunishLevels[2](player)

Yes, every player can have his own table with his own datas of any kind.

local data = {} 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerJoin", root, 
    function () 
        data [ source ] = {} 
    end ) 
  
function setThings ( player ) 
    data[ player ].vehicle = createVehicle ( ... ) 
    data[ player ].timer1 = setTimer ( ... ) 
    data[ player ].timer2 = setTimer ( ...) 
    data[ player ].likes = "Trains" 
 end 
  
addEventHandler ( "onPlayerQuit", root, 
    function () 
        data [ source ] = nil -- don't forget to clear a player's data after quitting to save memory and even kill his timers if needed 
    end )
