onThink(non-TFS based servers)

[Ispiro]

Since evolution-based server and clean SVN does not have onThink, I decided to create one. I tested it and it works perfectly fine

Comments please

login.lua

local intervalTime = 2000 -- time between onThink() for player.

function onLogin(cid)
	onThinkPrepare(cid)
	return 1
end

-- do not edit what's below this line.

function onThinkPrepare(cid)
	if(isPlayer(cid) == FALSE) then
		return false
	end	
	onThinkCallback(cid)
	addEvent(onThinkPrepare, intervalTime, cid)
end

dofile("./data/creaturescripts/scripts/onthink.lua")

function onThinkCallback(cid)
	if(onThink(cid, intervalTime) == FALSE) then
		doRemoveCreature(cid)
	end
end

onthink.lua

function onThink(cid, interval)
	-- return FALSE will kick the player
	return TRUE
end

Fix: Fixed a bug where it wouldn't cancel player's addEvents if he logged out 2 seconds immediatly after he logged in
Fix2: Fixed a bug where it would take more than the interval time to trigger onThink.
update: changed onThink(cid) to onThink(cid, interval). So it's possible to know the interval time using a script.
update2: interval time is now configurable by changing the variable "intervalTime" to the time in miliseconds.
update3: returning "FALSE" in the onThink() function will now kick the player off the server.
update4: removed global variable, using local variable instead
fix3: removing playing by returning onThink didn't trigger his onLogout, so instead, used isPlayer check.
update5: removed eventsForOnThink variable, isPlayer check moved to function "onThinkPrepare(cid)" to avoid events for offline players.

You must've done something wrong. I tested this script and it was working fine.
Anyways, updated the script a bit, changes made is at the bottom of the post.
