put delay on player:teleportTo(toPosition)

[bizao030188]

Hi
Is it possible to define delay for functions? For instance if I want to teleport a player after 3 seconds how would I do it?

I appreciate any kind of help!

Most people use addEvent to get delays.

If your working with player/npc/monsters you'll want to ensure that they are still online/alive, before excecuting scripts like 'teleport' or 'addItem' which require the creatureID in order to function correctly.

function onUse/onSay/w/e(player, x, x, x, x)
            code to execute before the delay
            local pos = {x = 1000, y = 1000, z = 7}
            addEvent(player:teleportTo(), time_delay_in_miliseconds, pos)
return true
end

or it might be:

      addEvent(player:teleportTo(pos), time_delay_in_miliseconds)

local function teleport(cid, position)
    local player = Player(cid)
    if player then
        player:teleportTo(position)
    end
end

addEvent(teleport, 5000, player:getId(), Position(x, y, z))

I don't think he needs to define a hole new function for teleporting when one already exists.

He gotta check if player is still valid.

if you don't create a new function and pass the id of the creature, and don't check if it exists before continuing to execute, the server will crash.

Ahh right thank you, im tired sorry.

Thank you! I will check it out.

 

[bizao030188]

local function teleport(cid, position)
    local player = Player(cid)
    if player then
        player:teleportTo(position)
    end
end

addEvent(teleport, 5000, player:getId(), Position(x, y, z))

how would it be to execute functions that are created like: function Player.myFunction(self) in events?

the same way, just use a different function instead of player:teleportTo(position)
