Payday on everyday

[M3Mori3s93]

Hello. Guys I have a question , how I can make a payday system on everyday at 7:00 AM in real time for all players, Which fuctions should I use?

well, no specific, you have to set a timer using setTimer(function, timeInterval, timestoexecute)

and then run the script at 7:00AM and set time interval to 1000*60*60*24 and the times to execute to 0

this will work for you

getRealTime

As @MaK$iM said, there is only the getRealTime() func. You can for exemple do this :

- Save the last payday with an account data

- Loop a timer to check every X minutes to check if the day changed and then give the payday

setTimer(function()
	local time = getRealTime()
	local hours = time.hour
	local minutes = time.minute
	if hours == 7 and minutes == 00 then
		outputChatBox("Time: "..hours..":"..minute"", source, 255, 0, 0)
		givePlayerMoney(source, 1500)
	end
end, 1000, 0)

i have not tried it

Actually, if you increase the time interval it would be better and it will save CPU usage, so each 1second? what about adding each one hour?

setTimer(function()
    local time = getRealTime()
    local hours = time.hour
    local minutes = time.minute
    if hours == 7 and minutes == 00 then
        outputChatBox("Time: "..hours..":"..minute"", source, 255, 0, 0)
        givePlayerMoney(source, 1500)
    end
end, 60000*60, 0)

This would work fine and comfortable

Put the second you want if it appears in 30 seconds or whatever seconds you want

I'm not sure if I'd rely on using that timer. I see a flaw in the logic of setting the timer to 1 per hour, what if the script was initiated at 5 minutes past the hour? If the timer is only then checking once per hour, it'll never work.

Here's how I'd prefer to do it

 

Clientside:

local paydayValid = true

local function realtime()
	local time = getRealTime()
	local hours = time.hour
	local minutes = time.minute
	if paydayValid == true then
		if hours == 7 and minutes == 0 then
			outputChatBox("Payday, ka-ching!")	
			triggerServerEvent("onClientPayday", resourceRoot)
			paydayValid = false
		end
	else
		if hours == 6 and minutes == 59 then
			paydayValid = true
		end
	end
end
addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), realtime)

 

Serverside:

local function payday()
	givePlayerMoney(client, 1500)
end
addEvent("onClientPayday", true)
addEventHandler("onClientPayday", getRootElement(), payday)

Not tested, but it's not exactly a complicated script 

excuse the indenting, the forum code editor uses 2 spaces whereas I use tab

lol forget the onClientRender sorry event

local diffTimer, paydayTimer
local lastPayDay = false
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", resourceRoot, function()
	diffTimer = setTimer(function()
		local time = getRealTime()
		local hours = time.hour
		local minutes = time.minute
		paydayTimer = setTimer(payDay, 60 * 60000, 0)
			if hours == 7 then -- in case you were lucky enough to start the resource between 6 and 7
				payDay()
			end
	end, (60 - minutes) * 60000, 1) -- timer that will start the actual payday timer exactly at hour:00 minutes
    -- 60 - currentMinutes; if the time is 12:44 |-> 60 - 44 = 12 -> 12 * 60000ms = 12 mins so the timer will start in 12 minutes
    
end)

function payDay()
	local time = getRealTime()
	local hours = time.hour
	local minutes = time.minute
	if hours == 7 and not lastPayDay then
		outputChatBox("payday...")
		lastPayDay = true -- just to be safe and make sure it cannot run twice
	else
		lastPayDay = false
	end
end

Make sure you are using getRealTime server side.. it will use the client PC's timer on client side.. not tested, but should work.
