onPlayerWasted Timer

[KidMoppuc]

What would be the easiest way to set a time for this function? (Also, if you spot any errors feel free to point them out!)

This script works, however when I add a timer, it gives me errors that it couldn't find the 'source' element. Whereas it works without the timer!

function revivePlayer() 
    local money = getPlayerMoney(source) 
    spawnPlayer(source, x, y, z) 
    setCameraTarget(source, source) 
    fadeCamera(source, true) 
    outputChatBox("You have been killed, a fee of $100 has been deducted from your account.", source) 
    setPlayerMoney(source, (tostring(money) - 100)) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", root, revivePlayer) 

Thanks

What did you try?

  
setTimer(spawnPlayer, 1000, 1, source, x, y, z) 
  

That doesn't work?

Something like this;

function revivePlayer() 
    setTimer( function() 
    spawnPlayer(source, x, y, z) 
    setCameraTarget(source, source) 
    fadeCamera(source, true) 
    outputChatBox("You have been killed, a fee of $100 has been deducted from your account.", source) 
    setPlayerMoney(source, (getPlayerMoney(source) - 100)) 
    end, 3000, 1) 
end  
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", root, revivePlayer)

Bump??

Something like this;

function revivePlayer() 
    setTimer( function() 
    spawnPlayer(source, x, y, z) 
    setCameraTarget(source, source) 
    fadeCamera(source, true) 
    outputChatBox("You have been killed, a fee of $100 has been deducted from your account.", source) 
    setPlayerMoney(source, (getPlayerMoney(source) - 100)) 
    end, 3000, 1) 
end  
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", root, revivePlayer) 

Yes, any error?

[KidMoppuc]

That 'source' is nil. However it works without the timer??

function revivePlayer(player) 
    if player then 
        if isElement(player) then 
            spawnPlayer(player, x, y, z) 
            setCameraTarget(player, player) 
            fadeCamera(player, true) 
            outputChatBox("You have been killed, a fee of $100 has been deducted from your account.", player) 
            setPlayerMoney(player, (getPlayerMoney(player) - 100)) 
            return 
        end 
    end 
    if source then 
        setTimer(revivePlayer,3000,1,source) 
    end 
end  
addEventHandler("onPlayerWasted", root, revivePlayer) 

Kind of an ugly workaround, no idea why the timer in the previous comments are not working. Try this one

Okay,

I've changed it up again! But nothing happens at all now...

function JoinHandler (player) 
    if player then  
        if isElement(player) then 
    spawnPlayer(player, x, y, z) 
    setCameraTarget(player, player) 
    fadeCamera(player, true) 
    outputChatBox("Welcome to our newest server, unfortunately, it is still under development. Please visit later.", player) 
        return 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
function settheTimer() 
    setTimer ( JoinHandler, 1000, 1 ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, settheTimer)

Pass the player argument too.

setTimer(JoinHandler,1000,1,source) 

[KidMoppuc]

Ahh, it works! Thank you!

Why didn't it work without that?

[Gr0x]

No problem.

You need to send the player element who joined the game as the first argument to the other function too, so it knows which player should be spawned, that's why it didnt work.
