Countdown

[daniel0916]

@STR_Warrior
Thanks it works. What is the best method to make a repeating countdown with 10 seconds?
In the chat should be:
9
8
7
...

[NiLSPACE]

Not sure if this is the best method (or if it works) but:

function CountDown(Param)
 cRoot:Get():BroadcastChat(Param[1])
end)

for I=1, 10 do -- Countdown.
 AddSchedule(CountDown, {I}, I * 20)) -- 20 ticks is one second right? then 1 * 20 is 20 ticks is one second etc.
end

[daniel0916]

it works but it is not
9 8 7
it is:
1 2 3

And it comes this error:

Code:

[17:25:11] Stack trace:

The line is:

if ScheduleTable[I][3] < 0 then

it works but it is not
9 8 7
it is:
1 2 3

Then change

for I=1, 10 do -- Countdown.
 AddSchedule(CountDown, {I}, I * 20)) -- 20 ticks is one second right? then 1 * 20 is 20 ticks is one second etc.
end

to

local COUNT_TO = 10
for I=COUNT_TO, 1, -1 do -- Countdown
 AddSchedule(CountDown, {I}, (COUNT_TO - I) * 20))
end

And it comes this error:

When do you get the error? When it has finished counting down?

When do you get the error? When it has finished counting down?

Every second and after 10 seconds the error stops.

And you do still get the countdown message(9, 8, 7 etc)? Do you have anything else in the function that gets called?

Yes, the message come. No, i haven't anything else in this function.

Could you post all your code somewhere? or send it to me using an PM. Ofcourse if you don't want to just don't do it, but I don't think I can see what's going on without seeing the code around everything.
EDIT:
Wait!! I've might found the problem. I'll have to rewrite the ScheduleTicking though. Just a sec.

(Do you know a git page where i can upload my code private? It should be safe.)

Okey, thanks.

Use this code for the OnScheduleTick function:

function OnScheduleTick(Time)
	for Idx, ScheduleTask in pairs(ScheduleTable) do
		ScheduleTable[Idx][3] = ScheduleTable[Idx][3] - 1 -- Countdown
		
		if ScheduleTask[3] < 1 then
			ScheduleTask[1](ScheduleTask[2])
			ScheduleTable[Idx] = nil
		end
	end
end

If you want to post it on github privately you have to pay for it.
