About NPC timer Event

Eross · May 12, 2021

Hi! I just need a small help here guys .. I need some answers for me to finish my npc script ... I have a Donation base Floating Rates npc .. Wherein the players will donate zeny until they reach the target amount .. Like for example the Server need to donate 5,000,000z ... After they reach target donate amount these are how It should work :

1. The NPC will Enable the script of "OnMinute00" (Which we all know that'll change rate every hour) ..So while the event is active there will be changes every hour..

2. The said NPC will enable that script immidiately right after they reached 5m donation for only 24hours .. So, whether its Minute00 or not it should start right away.. (Ex. They reach 5m in 10:55pm, It will start right away but will change rates on 11:00pm and 12:00am so on....)

3. The players are able to check the remaining time of the Floating Rate Event ..And there will be an announcement If theres only hour left or minutes

4. After the timer ends , whether the last hour of event is done or not the server rate should return to its normal rate.

I have here a sample of script by @lupus ... I'm trying to modify it a little but im not good in adding timer .. Please help I really need to finish this one ... Or you can suggest or lecture me on my mistakes here ... Heres the script from rathena folder :

Heya,

Well normally you'd just do a initnpctimer, but since your event needs to run for 24 hours, you can't really expect it to work correctly as a lot can happen in those 24 hours. You need a different approach in that case to survive a server restart/crash or a script reload.

Goodmorning (*PH time) .. Yes2 exactly sir ! I need the script continously running for 24hours without any interruptions ,,, Thanks I will try this one sir ! Godbless

Hi ! I noticed that the npc has ended the event without event starting it yet ..

image.png.7c1690b869a385306d3e3a90e902a1ef.png

I will observe it for the next 24hours ... And also the timer left shows like this sir

image.png.3c8a21b8dc97134ffd24fde6d1015123.png

I think this is because you added extra hour?? ... // Up to you whether you want to add an extra hour or not, as otherwise the event will be below 24 hours.

I supposed this will show 23hours and 00:55:59 if I set it to '$floating_rates_hours_left = 24;' right ??

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oppps ! I tried to make it 24hours and the timer shows like this ..

image.png.c53df26711a93cca45466327dd981753.png

Why is it only 30minutes sir ?

~~~ And also sir,

How to add restriction/cooldown on time .. Like, After the event ends .. The player will able to donate again after 6days ?

Tokei · May 13, 2021

Well, that's because of how you described your event. You want the rates to change on the hour at 00, but you want the event to start when the goal is reached. Both of these are impossible as the event has to end on the hour as well. So you have to choose, if the event starts at say... 3:44, does it end the next day at 4:00 or 3:00? That's how I understood it.

If... you want the event to run for 24 hours and announce at non-00 intervals from when the goal is first reached, that's a different story entirely.

As for the first time the script is loaded, that's normal. I was too lazy to resolve that point and since it would only happen once, I didn't care much for that.

Ohh Thats why .. I get it sir ... So, the extra minute came from the difference between the trigger time and the 00 of the next hour right ?? ... Hmmm .. How about after reaching the goal , There will be an announcement that "THE FLOATING RATES EVENT WILL START IN THE NEXT 00 OF NEXT HOUR" ?

I apologize for asking too much ,but ... How to add cooldown after the event ends sir ?? Like if the timer reached zero , The NPC will be disabled for the next 6days .. and announce when players can donate again ?

Im so noob on this .. Thankyou for assisting me sir @Tokei

Edited: Sir as ive observed, everytime I reload script the rates are changing ...

Okay my bad sir .. I managed to fix the OnInit: by adding this line

if ($floating_rates_hours_left > 0) { end; }
