CS time... special?

Is there anything special about gpGlobals->time in cs, because in a lot of plugins, i saw that they somehow used timelimit and timeleft...

If there's a difference could someone explain it to me?

Re: CS time... special?

AFAIK, "timelimit" and "timeleft" don't exist in the Half-Life globalvars_t structure. These are variables that are computed out of gpGlobals->time. Let's say timelimit is the date at which the round will end, and timeleft is what it says.

Code:

// on round start

timelimit = gpGlobals->time + CVAR_GET_FLOAT ("mp_thecvarthatholdstheroundduration");

 

// anytime

timeleft = timelimit - gpGlobals->time;

Re: CS time... special?

so otherwise there's no change to gpGlobals->time that's done by mp.dll?

when i say timelimit and timeleft, i mean that they use cs cvars...

I noticed this in the amx, where OLO uses those 2 for timers, so I got a little confused, why not do

Code:

...

float last_ticked;

...

struct timer {

...

float waitleft;

float wait;

...

}

...

void timertick()

{

...

if (timer->waitleft - (gpGlobals->time - last_ticked) <= 0)

...

last_ticked = gpGlobals->time;

}

Instead of what he does (which just plainly scares me)

What's the difference ? ???:(

gpGlobals->time is always different each frame, and it can't be "paused". I'm not sure I understand what you are doing here...

Re: CS time... special?

mp_timelimit is in minutes by the way, and gpGlobals->time is in seconds, so you need to multiply mp_timelimit value by 60 first before comparing it with gpGlobals->time

:D

Re: CS time... special?

not all mods support mp_timelimit. DoD does not where TFC does. I do not know about other mods.

Your better off with timeleft = mp_timelimit - gpGlobals->time

All times are GMT +2. The time now is 16:50.
