Lua stopEvent

[Santi]

I need to stop an event which is in another script.
How can I do that?
Got no time to think about any solution myself, sorry guys, I'm really busy.
Thanks in advanced!

Uhmmm you can do this:

script1:

-- do lots of stuff here
local event = addEvent(--whatever you want to add in here)
setPlayerStorageValue(cid,storageid,event)

script2:

--do stuff here
stopEvent(cid,getPlayerStorageValue(cid,storageid))

this is the way I do it, there might be a better way dunno

 

[JDB]

local event = addEvent(func, time, params)
if something then
	stopEvent(event)
end

Lol, I just had to think actually, thanks both.

Ye, use global storage ;p

but what if 3 players do whatever fires the addevent just a second after the other then the global storage would store the event of the last player not all the players.

In some cases, you may only need a single event running.
