Script Riddle, is there a better way to do this?

[Spelos]

You can just work with its subString

PHP Code: (Select All)

PushBackBook2(string &in asTimer)
{
    SetPropObjectStuckState(StringSub(asTimer, 1, 12), 0);
} 


And basically just get 12 characters of asTimer excluding the first one.

Other way would be to declare a LocalVariable for the current book.
Something like this:

PHP Code: (Select All)

PushBackBook1(string &in asTimer)
{
    SetPropObjectStuckState(asTimer, -1); //Pushes the book back
    SetLocalVarString("CurrentBook", asTimer);
    AddTimer("2"+asTimer, 0.25f, "PushBackBook02"); //then just 0.25 seconds later the same book is put into the normal state. 
}

PushBackBook2(string &in asTimer)
{
    SetPropObjectStuckState(GetLocalVarString("CurrentBook"), 0);
}
