Timer doesn't loop - Neelke - 12-31-2014
So I've made an updating timer which loops each 2 seconds. But for some strange reason, it doesn't loop at all. I'm guessing that I have the wrong name of timer or something, but I cannot figure out what to modify and change.
Code:
void Update(string &in asTimer)
{
playerIsRunning = (GetPlayerSpeed() > 3) ? true : false;
if(playerIsRunning)
{
//AddDebugMessage("Current main time divider: "+mainTimeDivider+"", false);
if(mainTimeDivider == 10){
//Do nothing
}
else
{
mainTimeDivider++;
}
}
else
{
//AddDebugMessage("Current main time divider: "+mainTimeDivider+"", false);
if(mainTimeDivider == 0){
//Do nothing
}
else
{
mainTimeDivider--;
}
}
AddDebugMessage("Current main time divider: "+mainTimeDivider+"", false);
AddTimer("Update", 2.0f, "Update");
}I start the timer in OnStart with Update("Update");

This is pure speculation,
try moving the
AddTimer("Update", 2.0f, "Update");
above the rest of the code in the Update function.
Code:
void Update(string &in asTimer)
{
AddTimer("Update", 2.0f, "Update");
playerIsRunning = (GetPlayerSpeed() > 3) ? true : false;
if(playerIsRunning)
{
//AddDebugMessage("Current main time divider: "+mainTimeDivider+"", false);
if(mainTimeDivider == 10){
//Do nothing
}
else
{
mainTimeDivider++;
}
}
else
{
//AddDebugMessage("Current main time divider: "+mainTimeDivider+"", false);
if(mainTimeDivider == 0){
//Do nothing
}
else
{
mainTimeDivider--;
}
}
AddDebugMessage("Current main time divider: "+mainTimeDivider+"", false);

For some reason, that did it. All other functions I implemented worked as they should and how I wanted them to be. I'm guessing one of my custom functions blocked the timer from running (how the hell that works).
Either way, for some reason that works. Thanks man.
