Backup spawns every second

[John D. 7]

Here is the code:

myPed -is suspect 

spawnpoint- suspect's spawn point 

        public override void Process()
        {

            if (Vector3.Distance(Game.LocalPlayer.Character.Position, myPed.Position) < 900.0f)
            {



                Functions.RequestBackup(SpawnPoint, EBackupResponseType.Code3, EBackupUnitType.LocalUnit);
            }
            base.Process();
        }

Is process starts my code every second?

it should call backup (as i think ) 1 time, but it calls it every second.

The code behavior is correct. Process is called every tick/frame. You then check if the distance is lower than 900 and if so, request backup. So for every tick/frame where this is true, a new backup request is made.

Oh, I thought that only happens if you call base.Process(); at the end, but apparently not. Then what's the reason you usually do that?

Since you are overriding Process the dispatcher will always call your implementation, unless as you said you specify it should call the base's implementation of it. Hence your Process implementation is called every tick and called before the base one. When overriding, you can decide if you want to call the base implementation or not depending on whether you want the functionality the base provides to still work. For a callout, the base call with invoke the state callbacks, if you have any, so you should call it. I try to annotate functions where you want to call base in 9 out of 10 cases with "Call base when overriding" to make that clear.
