Hey there!

With this function, I can calculate the total online time a player was online:

Code:

IF ( <TAG0.LASTCONNECTTIME> == 0 )

TAG0.LASTCONNECTTIME=<TIME>

IF (<TAG0.TOTALCONNECTTIME> == 0)

TAG0.TOTALCONNECTTIME=0

ENDIF

RETURN <eval ((<TAG0.TOTALCONNECTTIME> + <TIME> - <TAG0.LASTCONNECTTIME>)/10 )>

With this, they can grab prizes for 10 minutes online, 1 hour online, 1 day online, etc...

However, let's say I want to give my players one point (just +1 from a tag) per hour online:

Code:

<counts online time>

<1 hour online>

<eval tag bla +1>

<counts again online time from 0>

<1 hour online>

<eval tag bla +1>

...

...

How can I start it? Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks once again!

are u wanting to give them a tag from total online hours? or just hours from when they login?

will you be taking away from this tag? if not simply add @login

on=@login
src.tag.totalhours <eval <src.account.totalconnecttime> / 60>

Thanks for your attention!

I want them to get a TAG (that is going to work like a point, but this does not matter anyway) for every 1 hour online.
Let me --try-- Tongue

to explain better what I want to happen, without more TAGS on our way. I'll use gold as a reward.

Code:

Player logins in, time starts counting;

Player completes 1 hour online;

Player gets 1000 gold;

Timer restarts;

Player stays one more hour logged in;

Player gets 1000 gold;

Timer restarts;

...

...

Player log out, timer stops.

Did I make it easier or I failed miserably? Tongue

Thanks again!

Code:

[function f_time_online]

src.tag.online_hours += 1

[events e_online_time]

on=@login

if ((<isempty <src.tag.online_hours>>) || (<src.tag.online_hours> > 0))

src.tag.online_hours = 0

endif

src.timerf 3600,f_time_online

they log in, the trigger fires it checks to see if they have the tag, or if the tag is more than 0, if so it makes the tag 0 and after 3600 seconds (one hour) the function fires adding 1 to the tag.

Thanks A LOT. I'm sure this will work for me! Smile

If you're not wanting to carry any time from the previous session you could use ctag instead of tag, which is automatically removed when a player logs out, thus reducing memory usage for your server.

Pay attention to use timerf.
If the player logs out , timerf will still continue to run(while a timer item will stop), also you can't stop a timerf function without actually stopping all the timerf functions a player have! So you have to add some check for preventention(like checking if the player is online when the timerf finish)

Thanks for the tip Mordaunt! They are always welcome.

Thanks for the tip, darksun!

I haven't tested TIMERF in this case yet, but I'm sure a timer item will not stop. o:
I know that because I have a script to stop the timer from a certain memory.

Or are you talking about something else? =P

An item with a timer equipped in layer 30

As of tonight's build (which is available in about 4 hours) according to ben there is a new feature you may want to play with for what you are doing:

Quote:Added #2177: - <ISTIMERF.functionname> to check if a timer exists. Returns the time left in sec if it exists or 0 if not.
TIMERF STOP,functionname to stop a specific timerf.
