Flood Protection

[General]

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.

packaging?

packaging?

Yes, it's packaged.

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

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?

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?

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

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)"

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?

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.

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

pretty sure of it

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