How do you make a TimerTrigger call a function inside of a Class

[pillers]

I'm creating a TimerTrigger inside of one of my Class functions. I want this Timer to call another function within the same Class, however I get this script error.

Here is the piece of code that im running

Code: Select all

public class McCree {
	public IPlayer ply;
	public HandgunWeaponItem Peacekeeper;
	public IObjectTimerTrigger FTHTrigger;
	public bool FTHEnabled = true;
	public bool CombatRollEnabled = true;
	
	public McCree(IPlayer ply) {
		this.ply = ply;
		Peacekeeper = this.ply.CurrentSecondaryWeapon;
	}

	public void Update() {
		if (this.ply.IsRolling) {
			CombatRoll();
		}
		if (this.ply.IsCrouching && FTHEnabled==true && this.ply.CurrentWeaponDrawn == WeaponItemType.Handgun) {
			IObjectTimerTrigger FTHTrigger = (IObjectTimerTrigger)Game.CreateObject("TimerTrigger");
			FTHTrigger.SetIntervalTime(100);
			FTHTrigger.SetRepeatCount(Peacekeeper.CurrentAmmo);
			FTHTrigger.SetScriptMethod("FanTheHammer");
			FTHTrigger.Trigger();
			FTHEnabled = false;
		}
	}
	
	public void FanTheHammer(TriggerArgs args) {
		Vector2 dir = new Vector2(  (this.ply.GetWorldPosition().X+50) * (this.ply.FacingDirection) , (this.ply.GetWorldPosition().Y+RANDOM.Next(-15,15)));
		Vector2 pos = new Vector2(  (this.ply.GetWorldPosition().X + (7*this.ply.FacingDirection)) , this.ply.GetWorldPosition().Y+10);
		Game.SpawnProjectile(ProjectileItem.REVOLVER, pos, dir);
	}
	public void CombatRoll() {
		this.ply.GiveWeaponItem(WeaponItem.REVOLVER);
	}
}

The function FanTheHammer should just unload the remaining rounds left inside of the revolvers cylinder in quick succession I want to use a timer because it would otherwise be way too fast and unload all the bullets in the same frame.Is there an easier way of doing this? because I might be going about this in a very convoluted way. I would appreciate any help whatsoever thank you♥

You get this error with the function because you declared it inside "another" class, why am I saying another? you might ask.

Just think of the script section as a virtual big class that is were all the code is placed

Code: Select all

class GameScript
    {


        /* ALL THE CODE PUT IN THE SCRIPT EDITOR WINDOW */


    }

When you want to use auto-starting functions (OnStartup, AfterStartup, ect...) or triggerable functions they have to be declared on the "base" class and not being encapsulated inside other.

yup... that seems to be the case. So whats the work around to this because obviously I can't have my FanTheHammer function outside of my Class since i wont have access to my Class variables. Is there actually no way to call my class functions with a TimerTrigger? I've tried setting the script method to "McCree.FanTheHammer" but that doesn't seem to work either. any suggestions for a fix?

The simplest way is to use the Events.UpdateCallback function. Example:

Code: Select all

private class MyInnerClass
{
	public int Counter = 0;
}

public void OnStartup()
{
	MyInnerClass myClass = new MyInnerClass();
	Events.UpdateCallback.Start((float t) => {
		myClass.Counter += 1;
		Game.ShowPopupMessage(myClass.Counter.ToString());
	}, 100, 5); // Calls each 100 ms 5 times before stopping
}

Or using it inside a class directly:

Code: Select all

private class MyInnerClass
{
	public int Counter = 0;

	public void StartCounter()
	{
		Events.UpdateCallback.Start((float t) => {
   		Counter += 1;
		   Game.ShowPopupMessage(Counter.ToString());
	   }, 100, 5); // Calls each 100 ms 5 times before stopping
	}
}

public void OnStartup()
{
	MyInnerClass myClass = new MyInnerClass();
        myClass.StartCounter();
}
