Hi all, I was writing a script so that once the player in my came entered a checkpoint a timer would start and count 10 seconds & then display a prompt. this is what I have so far

+ Code Snippet

function timedprompt_init(e)
end

function timedprompt_main(e)
 if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone']==1 then
  if GetTimer(e) > 10000 then
   StartTimer(e)
  Prompt("Go to the Extraction point")
end
end
end

but how then do I stop the timer after showing the prompt once?

why do you want to stop the timer?
i think you're aiming for something more like this?

+ Code Snippet

function timedprompt_init(e)
end
 
function timedprompt_main(e)
 if g_Entity[e]['plrinzone']==1 then
  if GetTimer(e) > 10000 then
  PromptDuration("Go to the Extraction point",2500)
  Destroy(e)
end
else
StartTimer(e)
end
end

Yea that's what I was going for! I only started LUA about a week ago because I was sick of always posting on the forums for help , always sounding like a prat so i decided to try and learn it. not as easy as i first thought it would be though
