time problem.

[LordGragen.]

first of all i want to say that i know this is not the best way, its for testing.

i created a code which will use this effect on you every 5 sec, and idk whats wrong but it keep using every 60 sec = 1min.

i rly dont understand why? here is the code

                            if (DateTime.Now.Second <= 05 && DateTime.Now.Second <= 00)
                            {
                                if (client.Entity.Level == 140)
                                {

                                    _String str = new _String(true);
                                    str.UID = client.Entity.UID;
                                    str.TextsCount = 1;
                                    str.Type = _String.Effect;
                                    str.Texts.Add("break_start");
                                    client.SendScreen(str, true);

                                }
                            }

any idea why?

Stop asking for help in that manor. It really bugs me. This isn't code "just for testing", this is a feature you've been trying to program for weeks now and you need programming help because you don't know what you're doing. There's a clear difference and if you want programming help, you need to say so; otherwise, you're just going to confuse people. Stop being so defensive, and let people help. There's no lost pride in asking for help, but pretending you're something you're not is just going to cause even more issues for you. The problem is probably in the loop you put it in; and as I said previously, this is a really bad way of doing this when you could just make a new status type in the client. This is just going to add another layer of stress on your server.

what are you talking about i already made that

and if i made a thread of cores i am asking for help.

i only made it coz idk why it was looping and since i didn't know why it interested me to ask.

[shadowman123]

dude u have been asking Really Stupid Question, all u want to is to be spoon feeded which i wont Provide .. Help Urself

Wow, sick code bro!

[InfamousNoone]

if you're casting Level, which is of an integer type, to an integer type, to compare with another integer which is a constant, you're doing it wrong, or you're Korv' from like 6 years ago (BA DA DUM! -- hoping Korv' sees this and gets a small laugh out of walking down memory lane, haha)

[LordGragen.]

did korv did the same mistake? XD

Well, let's step through your code, shall we? (Or of the code you posted - nobody spoon feed him on this one). So what do you think is wrong with the segment of code you posted? After reading it, do you believe the problem is with this code, or do you believe it's correct?

[LordGragen.]

well i think it should be correct because thats how you guys told me to make it.

i made a new flag, i added the effect on client. and thats it

After reading it yourself though, do you understand it and do you feel that it should be correct?

[Super Aids]

Why not just do this?

void UseEffect()
{
while (true)
{
	if (client.Entity.Level == 140)
	{
		_String str = new _String(true);
		 str.UID = client.Entity.UID;
		str.TextsCount = 1;
		str.Type = _String.Effect;
		str.Texts.Add("break_start");
		client.SendScreen(str, true);
	 }
	System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
}
}

[LordGragen.]

@fang i feel like its correct.

@Super Aids
well lets say 200 people are online and 140, wont that hurt the server using the edit on 200 people evey 5 sec?

[_DreadNought_]

Find out for yourself, would only take a line of two of code to run that 10 times, take an average & * by 200.

Rather than running that for every player then run a loop that sleeps every 5 sec that does it. Or make some proper system implementation for such thing instead of using Trinitys source.

Keep in mind that this method would have to be run as its own thread because if you use .Sleep(x) from say a command or item, you just freeze the entire server for that amount of time causing mass lag.
