His code should spawn monster in time xx.35 but don't work.way?
Thanks for help

[Arco.]

Erm, what I would do is make a thread, checking for that time periodically, then execute that once the time has come. And make a bool and so it doesn't keep trying to spawn the mob after it has already spawn.

If mob spawned client.Map.RemoveEntity(entity);
client.Map.AddEntity(entity);
Server remove it and add new one
Or it is not ***?
#edit his code don't work way?

Don't use DateTime.Now.Second, because your thread/timer might not hit exactly at the second, rather use a boolean to check if it have been executed once.

Any more ides way timer don't work?

How does your timer code look?

[S/W]

System timer

if (DateTime.Now.Hour == 20 && DateTime.Now.Minute == 00 && DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Saturday && DateTime.Now.Second == 00)
{
foreach (Client.GameState client in Kernel.GamePool.Values)
{
Program.WriteLine("Hello");

}
}
}

I mean the timer that executes your event.

Still don't haw answer

Okay simple.
In program cs create a new variable,
public static Thread MonsterThread;
and then,
public static Boolean MonsterSpawned = false;

Then inside the main void, initialize it.
MonsterThread = new Thread(Monster.Spawn);
MonsterThread.Start();

Then the Monster.Spawn void do someshit like

public static void Spawn(GameClient Client, UInt16 Mesh)
{
if (Blah blah time check && !Program.MonsterSpawned)
{
All that spawn ****.
Program.MonsterSpawned = true;

//And if you plan on resetting your server once a day, then you can just abort the thread. Likee so,
Program.MonsterThread.Abort();
}
else
Thread.Sleep(500);
}

So wait.. you want to spawn a monster EVERY hour at 35 minutes?

It's easier if your source handles spawn times in a particular way but it's not too much harder to do it this way (note: albetros uses a 'spawndelay' int which could just be set on mob dying but that's beside the point).

Here's how I'd do it with a thread though... (simplest way really)

public class MonsterSpawnThread
{
public void Run()
{
while(true)//infinite loop. use break; or return; to exit the thread!
{
try
{
if(DateTime.Now.Minute == 33)
{
//Spawn monster Code
Thread.Sleep(60000);//sleep for one minute so that the thread CANNOT re-execute this code within the same minute
}
}
catch{}
Thread.Sleep(30000);//run thread every 30 seconds
}
}
}

Now when starting up server you have to start this thread.

new Thread(new MonsterSpawnThread().Run);

Simple stuff really.
