Modification Help / Re: Flood Protection

« on: July 26, 2010, 05:37:52 PM »

Quark and I recently found out another way we could find if the client is under flood protection, and it worked!

Code: [Select]

package TEST
{
function serverCmdMessageSent(%client, %text)
{
%time = getSimTime();
        %spamTime = %client.spamProtectStart;
        if(%time - %spamTime < 10000 || %text $= %client.lastMsgSent && !%client.isAdmin)
{
cancel(%client.lastMsgSentSchedule);
%client.lastMsgSentSchedule = schedule(15000,0,eval,%client @ ".lastMsgSent = '';");
}
else
        {
//code goes here
}
%client.lastMsgSent = %text;
parent::serverCmdMessageSent(%client, %text);
}
};
activatepackage(TEST);
Reguardless, thank you all for your help.

So, what do I change the datablock names to?

It's too hard to explain fully what to do, have you received my PM? Is there a problem?

that's all i can say, since i have no clue what the overall attempt here is.

It seems I haven't made myself clear enough?

My overall attempt is to make a script which checks that the client is not under flood protection before continuing with the main code, for example: If somebody says "What are the rules?" The rules will appear in the message hud, but if the client is under flood protection it will ignore it.

I can't possibly make myself clearer?

Could you please post the code of both the Rank 4 and 5 knifes?

EDIT: Just PM them to me, and please stop making more topics on this.

I can't help much if you don't post the script, but I guess that this could be because both datablocks of the knives are named the same, check their names and change them if they are.

So, it activates their flood protection?

The echo proved that it has values, it also proved that 1 means the client is under flood protection, you could try this yourself. After finding that it has values, I tried to use it in my script which failed. Basically, I wanted it to continue the code if the client was not under flood protection, instead it resulted in giving me two flood warnings and continued running the code:

Code: [Select]

package TEST
{
     function serverCmdMessageSent(%client, %text)
     {
          if(spamAlert(%client) == 0)
          {
               //Code goes here
          }
          parent::serverCmdMessageSent(%client, %text);
     }
};
activatePackage(TEST);The echo said yes, it does activate their flood protection. It doesn't seem that way in the code, unless I've made a mistake in it? I need some clarification on this, this is how I'm presuming it works.

this seems pointless imo...

maybe if i knew what you were actually trying to do here...

Maybe re-reading the posts will help, I've left enough information on what I am trying to do.

Is spamAlert actually turning on their 10-second period of inability to talk?

I think so, since the value is 1 for 10 seconds.

Strange though Kalphiter, that if I type "echo(spamAlert(findClientByName(General)));" in the console it returns a value of 0, or 1 if I'm in flood protection.

You don't know what you're doing.
spamAlert() is just meant to turn their flood protection on, and its not supposed to be a value.

Okay, so is there another way to do this?

if(%cake)
{
  echo("oh hey look cake");
}
else
{
  echo("oh thats disappointing");
}

I've tried that, as I mentioned in the main post...

EDIT: What I ment is how can you "else" a function like "function spamAlert(%client)"

package the function spamAlert and add stuff to do when it's called

if you don't get how to do this, then ask around more

I know what you mean, but how can you "else" a function?

what is the overall use for what you are trying to do here?..

If a client says something like "What are the rules?" and is in flood protection, then the rules won't appear.
Why should you need so much info anyways? Haven't I clearly stated what I wanted?

packaging?

Yes, it's packaged.

EDIT: The code is just a prototype... I refer to my main post.

I've been studying how flood protection works because I want to use it for one of my scripts. I've found that "spamAlert(%client)" calls the function, am I right? However this is not what I need, I want to check whether the function is called... I've tried "if(spamAlert(%client))" but ignores "if()" and just calls the function. Is there a way I could do this? Thanks.
