Sat, 25 Apr 2009 13:18

Hello, i am making an insim for a drift server, in C Sharp, i want to make a comand that will count (in message output 3 2 1 Go)

I want to make a delay from 3 to 2 to 1 to Go. But dunno how to do it, when i do it normaly it just send all the numbers at the same time

Thanks!

While Sleep() works, it's generally not a good idea to sleep the whole program thread, it's better to use the System.Timers.Timer class instead. Here's an example.

using System;
using System.Timers;

class Program
{
    static int count = 0;
    static string[] countdown = new string[] { "3", "2", "1", "GO!"};

    static void Main()
    {
        Timer timer = new Timer();
        timer.Interval = 1000; // Milliseconds.
        timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(timer_Elapsed);
        timer.Start();

        // Stop program from exiting.
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

    static void timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (count < countdown.Length)
            Console.WriteLine(countdown[count++]);
        else
            ((Timer)sender).Stop();
    }
}

I'm bored so I rewrote my old example using Spark. You type !cd or !countdown and it shows a countdown in the middle of the screen.

using System.Timers;
using Spark;
using Spark.Packets;

namespace CountDown
{
    class Program
    {
        InSim _insim;
        Timer _timer;
        int _count;
        string[] _countdown = new string[] { "3", 2", "1", "GO!" };

        public Program()
        {
            using (_insim = new InSim())
            {
                // Connect to InSim
                _insim.Bind<IS_MSO>(MessageReceived);
                _insim.Connect("127.0.0.1", 29999);
                _insim.Send(new IS_ISI { IName = "^3CountDown", Prefix = '!' }); // Set prefix to '!'

                // Initialize countdown timer.
                _timer = new Timer();
                _timer.AutoReset = true;
                _timer.Interval = 1000; // Milliseconds
                _timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(_timer_Elapsed);

                // Go!
                _insim.Run();
            }
        }

        void MessageReceived(IS_MSO mso)
        {
            if (mso.UserType == UserType.MSO_PREFIX)
            {
                var message = mso.Msg.Substring(mso.TextStart);
                if (message.StartsWith("!cd") || message.StartsWith("!countdown"))
                {
                    // Start countdown!
                    _timer.Start();
                }
            }
        }

        void _timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (_count < _countdown.Length)
            {
                _insim.Send("/rcm {0}", _countdown[_count++]);
                _insim.Send("/rcm_all");
            }
            else
            {
                _count = 0;
                _timer.Stop();
                _insim.Send("/rcc_all");
            }
        }

        static void Main()
        {
            new Program();
        }
    }
}
