Timer problems

[Rahmerh]

Hey!
I'm working on a semi-complicated script, but it doesn't work somehow. I'll try to explain it:
I left out quite a bit of code that didn't have anything to do with the timers.

You start off with 2 timers. Let's call them Timer1 and Timer2.
When you walk through a certain script area, you trigger Timer1. When you trigger Timer1, it counts for 120 seconds, before it calls Timer2. Then Timer2 will count for 120 seconds and call Timer1 again. An infinite loop.
But when the player interacts with something, it should cancel both timers, so they won't run again and tigger a third timer. (We can call that Timer3 I guess) Timer3 then runs for a long time (600 seconds), before calling Timer1 again which triggers the infinite loop again.

Each time Timer1 and Timer2 are called, they give the player damage, to indicate 120 seconds have passed. But when you cancel both Timer1 and Timer2, and call Timer3, somehow Timer1 or Timer2 starts running again, without waiting the 600 seconds, and I have no idea why.

Here's the code for Timer1 and Timer2.

Code: (Select All)

void Timer1(string &in asTimer){
    AddTimer("", 0.8f, "givedamage");
    AddTimer("timerb", 120, "Timer2");
}

void Timer2(string &in asTimer){
    AddTimer("", 0.8f, "givedamage");
    AddTimer("timerd", 120, "Timer1");
}

I'm using a timer to give the damage because that works better in the story.

Then when the player interacts with the object, this is called:

Code: (Select All)

void food1(string &in asEntity){
    RemoveTimer("timerb");
    RemoveTimer("timberd");
        startTimerThree();
}

void startTimerThree(){
       AddTimer("Timer3", 600, "Timer1");
}

I don't think I missed anything.
Does anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong?

walk through a certain script area

Can not be timers.
They need to be

PHP Code: (Select All)

AddEntityCollideCallback("Player", "YOURARENAMEINEDITOR", "Timer1", true, 1); 


-

[Rahmerh]

Yeah, that's how you call the first timer.

[DnALANGE]

Also remember the : AddTimer("", 0.8f, "givedamage");
Is adding damage every 120 seconds too!

[Rahmerh]

Also remember the : AddTimer("", 0.8f, "givedamage");
Is adding damage every 120 seconds too!

yeah it gives you damage every 120 seconds, like it's supposed to.. Not sure what you mean

[DnALANGE]

You are adding :

PHP Code: (Select All)

AddTimer("Timer3", 600, "Timer1"); 


SO ye, offcourse the whole thing will start over again

[Rahmerh]

I know, like I said it should wait 600 seconds. But it instantly calls timer1 again.

[DnALANGE]

I know, like I said it should wait 600 seconds. But it instantly calls timer1 again.

Then we nede to see your whole script. Add it with a spoiler tag please.
Then we can see what is going on.

[Rahmerh]

In the OP

[DnALANGE]

OR just ass the timer in :

PHP Code: (Select All)

void food1(string &in asEntity){
     RemoveTimer("timerb");
     RemoveTimer("timberd");
         //startTimerThree();
AddTimer("Timer3", 600, "Timer1");
 }

 void startTimerThree(){
        
 }
