Task Manager

What is this?

• This is ready solution for call functions at specified times

How can use it?

• The first thing we have to do - is allocate storage space (memory) for task object and then deallocate storage

void OnMetaAttach()//or amxx attach
{
	g_pTaskManager = new CTaskManager;
}

void OnMetaDetach()//or amxx detach
{
	delete g_pTaskManager;
}

• After turning on the server clear all tasks

void ServerActivate_Post(edict_t *pEdictList, int edictCount, int clientMax)
{
	if (g_pTaskManager != NULL)
		g_pTaskManager->ClearTaskByOwner();
    
	SET_META_RESULT(MRES_IGNORED);
}

• In function Start Frame call the corresponding method

void StartFrame_Post()
{
    if (g_pTaskManager != NULL)
        g_pTaskManager->StartFrame(TASK_FREQUENCY);

    SET_META_RESULT(MRES_IGNORED);
}

Example of use

int ShowPlayerGreeting_TaskHandle(edict_t *pPlayer);

void ClientPutInServer_Post(edict_t *pPlayer)
{
	if (g_pTaskManager != NULL)
		g_pTaskManager->ClearTaskByOwner(pPlayer);
    
	g_pTaskManager->SetTask(pPlayer, (task_handle_t)ShowPlayerGreeting_TaskHandle, 5.0, TASK_NORMAL);

	SET_META_RESULT(MRES_IGNORED);
}

int ShowPlayerGreeting_TaskHandle(edict_t *pPlayer)
{
	UTIL_ClientPrint(pPlayer, print_center, "Hello, %s!", pPlayer->v.netname);
  
	return TASK_IGNORED;
}
