A3D_GetRouteTime

Time a route takes, in seconds.

Vehicles drive at 36 metres a second on highways, 22 on other roads and 14 on the roads the traffic leaves alone, and lose the time the turns cost. Boats sail at 15 metres a second and pedestrians run at 5.

native Float:A3D_GetRouteTime(Route:routeid);

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Route:routeid	Route to measure.

Returns

• The time.
• 0.0 when the route does not exist.

Remarks

The time is an estimate for a driver who keeps to the speeds of Route types and loses the time each turn costs: two seconds to the right, five to the left and thirty to turn back. Players drive faster than that in an empty city and slower in a crowded one, so the time suits comparing routes and giving an idea of the wait, more than a promise.

Example

stock bool:InTimeFor(Route:routeid, seconds) {
    return A3D_GetRouteTime(routeid) <= float(seconds);
}
