[Help]How to stop setTimer from restarting ?

[Perfect]

Hi, I made simple payday script, which pays player every 24 hours.

But the problem is, 'setTimer' is resetting everytime the resource restart.

Is there anyway to stop resetting of 'setTimer' ?

Here is the script:-

  
function payMoney() 
    givePlayerMoney(source,10000) 
end 
  
function payMoneyTimer() 
    setTimer(payMoney,86400000,0) 
end 

Can you guys please help me ?

There is no way to stop the timer from resetting but you could use element data to see if the player did get his reward or how much time he has left.

look like you get wrong idea, your script will never work.

first,

the timer will start when you call the function payMoneyTimer(), if you dont call the function, no timer.

second

in the function payMoney(), who is the source, you did not declare that.

third

if this is a client script. givePlayerMoney() does not change the money on serverside

I am going show you a quick example, hope that is helpful

for server, you need create a script to handle a event for adding money to player

function onPlayerWant24Money () 
        givePlayerMoney(source,10000) 
end 
addEvent( "onPlayerWant24Money", true ) 
addEventHandler( "onPlayerWant24Money", root, onPlayerWant24Money) 
  

for client, you need create a script to set a timer for player to call a server event to add money for him every 24 hours

function require24Money () 
    triggerServerEvent ( "onPlayerWant24Money", localPlayer) 
end 
setTimer( require24Money,86400000,0) 
  

the timer will be set on clinet after player join in, and disappeared after player quit or disconnected

You can save it into the database (Time left) and as soon as the resource gets started again, you can receive the time left. Do some math and done ;P
