[SCRIPT] MovePlayerForward

[Adrianis]

Spoiler below!

You have to use a looping timer.

Example;

Code: (Select All)

void TimerOne(string &in asTimer)
{
MovePlayerForward(4.5f);
AddTimer("", 3, "LoopingTimer");
}

void LoopingTimer(string &in asTimer)
{
AddTimer("", 0.2f, "TimerOne");
}

So to speak.

That's not going to be quick enough - that's only going to call MovePlayerForward every 3.2 seconds, the description of the function states "It needs to be called in a timer that updates 60 times / second"
You can also have the timer call the function that it is declared in

Code: (Select All)

void StartPushingPlayer()
{
   PushPlayer(""); // calls PushPlayer once, to start the loop
   AddTimer("KILL_PUSH_LOOP", 5, "KillPushLoop"); // this will stop the pushing loop in the given time
}

void PushPlayer(string &in strTimer)
{
   MovePlayerForward(5); // test the movement speed and adjust this value appropriately
   AddTimer("PUSH_LOOP", 0.016, "PushPlayer"); // this will call PushPlayer again and therefore add another timer
}

void KillPushLoop(string &in strTimer)
{
   RemoveTimer("PUSH_LOOP"); // removes the looping timer, so PushPlayer won't get called again
}

EDIT: changed the code as I realised that the Kill timer was being created repeatedly, which was unnecessary
