How can I use timer.Create() to call the function every x seconds instead of just repeating it x repetitions? If impossible with timer.Create(), what are my other options?

Er, thanks, but I forgot to mention that I only want it to repeat every x seconds [i]for y seconds[/i]

an example in php:

while (time() < time() + 30) { //will count for 30 seconds
print "1 second\n";
sleep(1); //will now wait another second before the next repetition

I'm pretty sure that's an infinite loop. Anyways if you want a timer to run every x seconds for a total of y seconds, the number of repetitions would just be y/x.

You're right, my bad. Wasn't thinking. Should set time + 30 before that as a variable and go from there. You understand, I'm sure.

Hey all!

I have the following problem with my server:

I have 1 server with the gamemode "jailbreak" but when people starting to shoot each other the server has a strange lag.

Its not fps lag or what ever. For example if there are like 5 people in the server and 2 people shooting each other then the other 3 people are like moving on there on when they standing still.

A friend of my said: when somebody fires a gun, there is a random chance that this will cause the server to stutter and all players will experience momentary packet loss

My download speed is 43 mbps
My upload speed is 3.63 mbps

I have a xeon procesor dual socket 2011 and 64 GB intern memory ddr3 windows server 2008 R2 64 bit

A few questions...

Why is it that when TrapFire is called, regardless of what the spread or number of bullets fired is (and I've run tests on this and found that it always is set properly) always have 0 spread?
Also, is there a way to increase the speed of the think hook being called? At the moment it only seems to be doing it about every 0.2 seconds (tested, not a logic error) in the entity that calls trapfire, and I have no idea why this is.
Finally is there a reason the "magneto-stick" in TTT can pick up the weapon entity, but not this entity? It sort of gets picked up a little and immediately dropped after.

Which DTextEntry hook is called when the value changes? OnValueChange and OnValueChanged don't seem to work for me.

EDIT: OnKeyCode did what I wanted. I kind of expected OnValueChange to also be called when the user typed something in though.

Hey guys, I have my NPC working after it gave an engine error, a workaround was posted, I applied that and now the zombie atleast runs and tries to hit people.

Anyways, after a while the zombie suddenly stops moving and gets stuck in the running animation, it just freezes, then this error is spammed in console:

[ERROR] gamemodes/base/entities/entities/base_ai/schedules.lua:119: attempt to compare nil with number
  1. NextTask - gamemodes/base/entities/entities/base_ai/schedules.lua:119
   2. DoSchedule - gamemodes/base/entities/entities/base_ai/schedules.lua:75
    3. unknown - gamemodes/base/entities/entities/base_ai/schedules.lua:22

When I remove the NPC then spawn another, it just stands there, freezed and idle, and the error keeps spamming into console.

Does anybody know a fix for this? It would be very appreciated.
