How to add server save!

[Colandus]

Hey, I know this is supposed to be in script section, but I decided to post it here, since people might look here when they want to say "Me haf no server sejv!1!11!" xD

So, place this at bottom of global.lua:

saveDelay = 10 * 60 * 1000 -- 10 minutes for each save. 
storageValue = 2342 

if (getGlobalStorageValue(storageValue) == -1) then 
    function save(saveDelay) 
        saveData() 
        print(">>>>PLAYERS SAVED<<<<") 
        addEvent(save, saveDelay, saveDelay) 
    end 
    addEvent(save, saveDelay, saveDelay) 
    setGlobalStorageValue(storageValue, 1) 
end

And just change the delay of each save, and you're done

Move if you really feel it shouldn't be here.

this work for gui server?

 

[Colandus]

I think so... Is there any difference between GUI and console, at the scripts? If not, then it should work

originally reqeusted by me when colandus made it <3 m8

 

[Kedor]

thanks for that

if (getGlobalStorageValue(storageValue) == -1) then
    addEvent(autoSave, saveDelay, saveDelay)  
    setGlobalStorageValue(storageValue, 1)  
end
function autoSave(saveDelay)  
    saveData()  
    print(">>>>PLAYERS SAVED<<<<")  
    addEvent(save, saveDelay, saveDelay)  
end

blz?

 

[Colandus]

Nah, mine is better If you even knew what the global storagevalue is for, then you might reply... But I just take that as spam!

print(">>>>PLAYERS SAVED<<<<")

Appears to players or console?

 

[Sniperfox]

To the console.

Actually I know, buddy.
Your script checks for global value while loading global.lua, executes save event, and sets global value to prevent new events on reload.
But, the save function is between lines which are executed if the global value is -1 (doesn't exists).
So event wont find it, since it exists only if value = -1

btw, debugPrint rlz.

Ehm...? You don't seem to know what you are talking about, why wouldn't it find it? All global variables are saved in the _G variable, and what makes you think it won't be load?

debugPrint sux, error rox ^^

Well, on my eye it seem to exist only if the value is -1 =p
But I may be wrong.
If so, then there isn't difference in work of your and mine 'modification'.

Well, the difference ain't deadly, but it's waste? Like when you'll reload actions or stuff like that, the function save will reload aswell, but not in my script, since it will only be created if there is NO global storage value!

 

[Saj]

It works for me, thanks!

 

[Colandus]

Ok great

and a /save command:

function onSay(cid)
    if (getPlayerGroupId(cid) >= 3) then
        saveData()
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, 24, "Server saved.")
    else
        doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "You can not execute this command.")
    end
    return 1
end

l0ol

Thats what I'm talking about.
So, any change of the function requires server restart

Yeah, but... w/e xD

There isn't much to change is there? Only the delay, and they can still change it

 

[zniC]

Fix the talkaction so only players with access 3+ can use it?

 

[Colandus]

Done, check it again

Really thanks, very usefull.
