Simple tool for addEvent

Mock · Jul 31, 2011

If you are a script you know how to delay some actions using addEvent, but if you use something like:

Code:

addEvent(doCreatureSay,5000,cid,'hail',1)

you know if the player logout durig the interval you will got a error in console and you have to do it to avoid errors:

Code:

addEvent(function(cid,msg,typ)
   if isPlayer(cid) then
          doCreatureSay(cid,msg,typ)
   end
end,5000,cid,'hail',1)

But no more...

Add this function in your lib

Code:

function valid(f)
	return function(p,...)
		if isCreature(p) then
			return f(p,...)
		end
	end
end

and then use like this way to not get errors:

Code:

addEvent(valid(doCreatureSay),5000,cid,'hail',1)

PS: work only if the first param is the creature id

Pretty nice, I'd use this if I didn't already change all my scripts to do player checks :/

Thanks man, however i did this way:

Code:

function vae(f, cid)
	return (
		function(...)
			if isCreature(cid) then
				return f(...)
			end
		end
	)
end

So it does not depend that the used functions uses cid as first argument.

addEvent(vae(doCreatureSay, cid),5000,cid,'hail',1)
