How to make a map tick?

[Shako 97]

Hello guys,

 

I'm trying to write a script for maps which require the map to tick. (every second counter).

 

Right now the only way I see is Every_5_Minutes which ticks.. every 5 minutes!

 

What if I wanted a map tick that has more frequency than that? How do I do so?

 

Thanks!

Tick everyone second? good luck spamming system =D
map tick? what u mean? like Chaos Argent map tick for monster spawnining while there are active players? or map tick for map close down time?
If like CA, What's your purpose for make a ticking that is faster than usual? If you really do, u can just do every_5_minutes - certain time so it will be faster.
Try to play around with

    Every_5_minute = Every_5_minute+1
    if Every_5_minute == 2 then -- ³õ¼¶±¦Ïä

    --direct monster create

    end

like instead of going +(plus), you will go -(minus). there should be another way for ticking. maybe ask someone to make u one that will tick after seconds (ofc, it will spam your system if the time is short but mainly depend on what u tick on)

Hi ! its been awhile but lemme see if i can remember some things...
map_copy_run_special_* ticks every 5 minutes. (so use this function if you want to do a set of routine every 5 minutes)
the Every_5_Minutes is only a counter so don't mistake it as anything special... (I can change the variable name to Every_10_Minutes and it will still counter every 5 minutes
because of it being incremented inside the map_copy_run_special_* function.

 

The function you want to deal with is: map_copy_run_*

@KONG is indeed correct. "map_copy_run_X" is a function like "cha_timer", it "ticks" every second only if a player is inside or has been inside the map. The tick won't start unless someone steps inside the map for it to begin.

Thanks a lot! Is there a way to make the map's tick start when the portal opens, where anything scripted will spawn regardless of player count?

In case I want to make something spawn every 3 minutes instead of 5 minutes, how will I do that?

Also, does anyone know WHAT function draws the map_copy_run_special to tick once every 5 minutes?

Currently no, or not any that I have found yet. If someone knows, please show us the way.

Try this. Since the function works with seconds, not minutes, then a minute translates into 60 seconds, then 180 would be 3 minutes.

RandomTickVariable = 0
function map_copy_run_X(MapCopy)
	RandomTickVariable = RandomTickVariable + 1
	if (RandomTickVariable - math.floor(RandomTickVariable/180)*180) == 0 then
		...
	end
end

@Angelix

RandomTickVariable = 0
function map_copy_run_X(MapCopy)

	RandomTickVariable = RandomTickVariable + 1
	
	if math.mod(RandomTickVariable, 180) == 0 then
		-- ticks every 180 seconds or 3 minutes
		-- do something
	end
	
end

Wouldn't it be same? Or what's the difference?

[V3ct0r 2,117]

@Angelix it is same code but a bit easier.

 

math.mod(RandomTickVariable, 180) equals to RandomTickVariable % 180.

 

180 % 180 = 0

200 % 180 =  20

300 % 180 = 120

360 % 180 = 0

720 % 180 = 0

799 % 180 = 79

basically it happens every 180 ticks @Angelix

 

although I haven't tested yours yet, i would assume its the same thing
