How to not attach a timer to a character (using +x hours)

[Helena]

Hi hercules!

Could a kind scripter please be of help? I'm trying to attach a timer to the server and not to one character. I know how onclock and onminute work, but I am specifically looking for a script that will give a 2x drop bonus for the 24 hours after something was achieved.

I tried using sleep2 as well, but the unfortunate problem I run into is that as soon as the character logs off before (in this samples case) 10 seconds have passed, the bonus would just remain while I really want it to wear off whether the character is online or not.

Help is much appreciated!

[Etc...]announce "The server will now have the drop rates increased to 2x for the coming 24 hours!",bc_all;	setbattleflag("item_rate_common", 200 );	dispbottom "Setting to 2x";	sleep2 10000; // not the accurate time	atcommand "@reloadbattleconf";	end;

Thank you! I wonder why you're not a script mod yet, you're so helpful.

Can I ask something else? (its a part of the same script)

this part works good, it copies and pastes data from one SQL table in another, and the script then reads the new/custom table. But sadly when I truncate the custom 'votegoal' table, it keeps fetching data from the other (cp) table. Basically, I just want it to insert each entry once while not touching/truncating the other cp table (otherwise all players will get their vote points and blocking time nullified).

Is that too complex or even possible to do? (sorry if the below is a mess, I'm not good with sql xD) Thanks so much!

OnPCLoginEvent:	if(getgroupid() > 90){query_sql("INSERT IGNORE INTO `votegoal` SELECT * FROM `cp_v4p_votelogs`");set .@nb, query_sql("SELECT `rtid`, `account_id` FROM `votegoal`", .@VoteGoal, .@account_id );	announce "Vote Goal: "+ .@nb * 2 +" / 1000",bc_self; // *2 cause votes give 2 points. if(.@nb && .@VoteGoal == 1){ // Like above, server only fetches 1 points while site gives 2 point per vote, so if we want goal of 250, put > 499//	query_sql("TRUNCATE TABLE `votegoal`");

@1 -  By default initnpctimer does not have a player attached so you can just use that if you choose to.

@2 -

TRUNCATE TABLE `table_name`

is used when you want to delete all the data from the given table, without deleting the table from the schema.

You shouldn't have any issues of table mix ups, since you can't have the same table name in the same schema.

So, if `votegoal` isn't the table you want to TRUNCATE, then perhaps a different table is what you need to do?

Additionally, if you're having issues, where `votegoal` is the name of a table inside 2 different schemas, and this is the problem, you should be able to specify which schema to truncate from:

query_sql("TRUNCATE database.schema `table_name`");
