Stop Event Help

[darcioantonio]

I have tis script tfs 0.4otx

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
    timeBoss(cid)
end

function timeBoss(cid)
    addEvent(function()
            teleportPlayersToSaida(getPlayersInArea(config.nortEsquerdaSalaBoss, config.sulDireitaSalaBoss))
    end, 10 * 1000)
end

How can I stop it using this script here in separate motion files

function onStepIn(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)

    doTeleportThing(cid, {x = 1139, y = 1809, z = 6})
end

I've tried everything and I can't stop it

Try this:

TeleportPlayersToSaidaEventId= 0

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
    TelportPlayersToSaidaEventId = addEvent(teleportPlayersToSaida, 10*1000, getPlayersInArea(config.nortEsquerdaSalaBoss, config.sulDireitaSalaBoss))
end

function onStepIn(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
    stopEvent(TeleportPlayersToSaidaEventId)
end

Maybe you can use some sort of global table to keep track, I used to have this problem before and I solved it using global storage value:

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
    timeBoss()
end

function timeBoss()  
    setGlobalStorageValue(5000, addEvent(teleportPlayersToSaida, 10 * 1000, getPlayersInArea(config.nortEsquerdaSalaBoss, config.sulDireitaSalaBoss)))
end

-- idk what this function does
function teleportPlayersToSaida(someTable)
    if getGlobalStorageValue(5000) == -1 then
        return
    end
   
    -- Do what it is supposed to do
end


function onStepIn(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
    setGlobalStorageValue(5000, -1)
    doTeleportThing(cid, {x = 1139, y = 1809, z = 6})
end

Neither of the 2 ways worked

Just needed a few more tweeks. You guys were almost there.
Probably need to reset the storage on serverStartUp as well.

local function timeBoss()
    setGlobalStorageValue(5000, -1) -- reset storage when function is successfully called
    teleportPlayersToSaida(getPlayersInArea(config.nortEsquerdaSalaBoss, config.sulDireitaSalaBoss)
end

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
    -- check for active event, and cancel
    if getGlobalStorageValue(5000) ~= -1 then
        stopEvent(getGlobalStorageValue(5000))
        setGlobalStorageValue(5000, -1)
    end
 
    local event = addEvent(timeBoss, 10 * 1000) -- create event
    setGlobalStorageValue(5000, event) -- store event
    return true
end

function onStepIn(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
    -- check for active event, and cancel
    if getGlobalStorageValue(5000) ~= -1 then
        stopEvent(getGlobalStorageValue(5000))
        setGlobalStorageValue(5000, -1)
    end
 
    doTeleportThing(cid, {x = 1139, y = 1809, z = 6})
    return true
end

Nothing can't be shared among interfaces-environments in TFS 0.x
In other words; if you create an event inside the actions interface, you can only stop that event within an action script.

Global storages are allocated on memory, you don't need to restart them unless you save them onto database.

dangit lmao

Alright, I say we try this.

It's not perfect.. as there is 1 millisecond between the called events.. but.. best I can come up with.

local storageKey = 5000

local function timeBoss()
    setGlobalStorageValue(storageKey, -1) -- reset storage when function is successfully called
    teleportPlayersToSaida(getPlayersInArea(config.nortEsquerdaSalaBoss, config.sulDireitaSalaBoss)
end

local function timedStopEvent(eventId)
    local storageValue = getGlobalStorageValue(storageKey)
    if storageValue ~= -1 and storageValue ~= eventId then
        stopEvent(storageValue)
        setGlobalStorageValue(storageKey, -1)
    end
end

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)   
    local eventTimer = 10 * 1000
    local event = addEvent(timeBoss, eventTimer) -- create event
    addEvent(timedStopEvent, eventTimer - 1, event)
    setGlobalStorageValue(storageKey, event) -- store event
    return true
end

local storageKey = 5000

function onStepIn(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
    setGlobalStorageValue(storageKey, -1)
    doTeleportThing(cid, {x = 1139, y = 1809, z = 6})
    return true
end

I think we could use the ids only, the event will keep running but as long as the id doesn't match nothing should happen.

local ARENA_UNACTIVE = 0
local ARENA_ACTIVE = 1

local gEvent = 50000
local gState = 50001

local function timeBoss(eventId)

    local globalEventId = getStorage(gEvent)
    if globalEventId ~= eventId then
        return
    end

    doSetStorage(gState, ARENA_UNACTIVE)
    doSetStorage(gEvent, -1) -- reset storage when function is successfully called

    teleportPlayersToSaida(getPlayersInArea(config.nortEsquerdaSalaBoss, config.sulDireitaSalaBoss))
end

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)

    local arenaState = getStorage(gState)
    if arenaState == ARENA_ACTIVE then
        return doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "Sorry, not possible.")
    end

    local eventTimer = 10 * 1000
    local eventId = math.random(1000000)
    addEvent(timeBoss, eventTimer, eventId) -- create event

    doSetStorage(gState, ARENA_ACTIVE)
    setGlobalStorageValue(gEvent, eventId) -- store event

    return true
end

function onStepIn(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)

    doSetStorage(gState, ARENA_UNACTIVE)
    doSetStorage(gEvent, -1)

    return doTeleportThing(cid, ...)
end

end

Ahhhhh I'm so stupid. xD

I remember doing this as well.. cuz I couldn't stand trying to use stopEvent. xD

One of the possibilities worked on without results.
