muteRandomPlayer

[Killerbee_x.]

Hey guys,

since a few weeks I'm trying to script with some help from scripters.

I've tried to make a command which mutes a randomplayer for 1 minute.

but it seems to fail.

Maybe you guys can help me

  
  
local randomPlayer = getRandomPlayer ( ) 
  
function mute(randomPlayer) 
    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(randomPlayer).." is now muted", getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true) 
    mutePlayer(randomPlayer) 
setTimer(60000,1, unmuterandomPlayer) 
end 
addCommandHandler("idiot", mute) 
  

Regards Killerbee_x.

function mute(player) 
    local randomPlayer = getRandomPlayer ( ) 
    outputChatBox(getPlayerName(randomPlayer).." is now muted", getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true) 
    mutePlayer(randomPlayer) 
setTimer(60000,1, unmuterandomPlayer) 
end 
addCommandHandler("idiot", mute)

Addition to JR10, which is actually the problem of all this: the setTimer syntax is incorrect. You used the function to call at the end, it has to be at the first argument.

setTimer ( unmuterandomPlayer, 60000, 1, randomPlayer ) 

The last argument is needed to determine who was the random player. See the wiki for a full documentation about setTimer.

Sorry, didn't notice that, but there is 2 problems

like getting one random player on resource start, muting the player who typed the command.

[botanist]

repeat randomPlayer = getRandomPlayer ( ) until randomPlayer ~= player 

Where the 'player' variable is the player who entered the command.

May I ask you guys, to make the complete function forme, because I'm a noob in scripting

[JR10]

function mute(player) 
     repeat randomPlayer = getRandomPlayer ( ) until randomPlayer ~= player 
     outputChatBox(getPlayerName(randomPlayer).." is now muted", getRootElement(), 255, 0, 0, true) 
     mutePlayer(randomPlayer) 
     setTimer ( unmuterandomPlayer, 60000, 1, randomPlayer ) 
end 
addCommandHandler("idiot", mute)

Ty, I'll try it

[botanist]

If it won't work, post your unmuterandomPlayer function here as it might need to be modified now.

ERROR: Infinite/too long execution (Die)

ERROR: Aborting; infinite running script

ps: dont look the resource name^^

If it won't work, post your unmuterandomPlayer function here as it might need to be modified now.

I just sent you my whole script, I dont have more T__T

[botanist]

Oh lol, then you're trying to call an unexisting function

Replace the setTimer line with this:

setTimer ( unmutePlayer, 60000, 1, randomPlayer ) 

[Killerbee_x.]

Doesn't work :\

There is no such function 'mutePlayer'. Use setPlayerMuted instead. Next code should work (not tested though). By the way, make sure your resource has rights to mute players (it should be noted in ACL.xml).

  
local timers = {} 
local muteDuration = 60 --seconds 
  
addCommandHandler( "idiot", function( player, cmd ) 
  local rndPlayer = getRandomPlayer() 
  --if random player is not muted 
  if not timers[ rndPlayer ] then 
    setPlayerMuted( rndPlayer, true ) 
    timers[ rndPlayer ] = setTimer( setPlayerMuted, muteDuration*1000, 1, rndPlayer, false ) 
    outputChatBox( getPlayerName( rndPlayer ).." is now muted", root, 255, 0, 0, true ) 
  end 
end ) 
  
--if a player leaves the server and he has been muted, then remove the timer 
addEventHandler( "onPlayerQuit", root, function() 
  if timers[ source ] then 
    killTimer( timers[ source ] ) 
    timers[ source ] = nil 
  end 
end )

Haha, Ty it works.

Also where do I have to put the message to the player when he gots unmuteD?

[DakiLLa]

Hmm, replace the 10th line:

timers[ rndPlayer ] = setTimer( function( rplayer ) 
  setPlayerMuted( rplayer, false ) 
  outputChatBox( getPlayerName( rplayer ).." is now unmuted", root, 255, 255, 0, true ) 
end, muteDuration*1000, 1, rndPlayer )
