@Limos

@Limos i should be so happy if you could help me with this

In the globalevent script change

function onTimer()

for

function onThink(interval, lastExecution, thinkInterval)

And in globalevent.xml

<globalevent name="zombieevent" time="15:00" event="script" value="zombie event/globalevent.lua"/>

for

<globalevent name="zombieevent" interval="[B]XXXX[/B]" event="script" value="zombie event/globalevent.lua"/>

XXXX - time (1000 - 1 second)

[Error - GlobalEvents::think] Couldn't execute event: zombieevent

@Limos does you know why it wont work?

 

[Limos]

Add return true above the end that closes the function (function onThink).

 

[vvglex]

Add return true above the end that closes the function (function onThink).

oh okay thanks, can i use that on this also ?
function onTime()

 

[Limos]

You can also use function onTime, it also needs return true like function onThink.
The reason it gives this error: "Couldn't execute event: zombieevent" is because of the missing return true.

 

[vvglex]

thank you so much you so much you are the best!!
@Limos

sorry but i have an other problem ... when i have my mod (team event) enabled and zombie event is about to start but its not enough players in the zombie event it says "team event cant start not enough players" but i should be zombie event thats gonna try start :/ but if i disable team event mod , it says not enough players to start zombie event . is it about same storage id or something?

@Limos

u know that problem? @Limos

 

[Limos]

The functions in both scripts are probable both called startEvent, so change the name in 1 of the mods to for example startEventx, don't forget to also change it where it's used then.

so can i just search for all Startevent and change them to starteventx?

 

[Limos]

Yes, in 1 of the mods, doesn't have to be startEventx, you can change it to anything as long as the functions in both mods don't have the same name.

 

[vvglex]

thanks again it works
