Functions.

[Sparrow]

Hello all,

Today visite some severs and I saw that many players lagging, so I think to do a pingkick script.

Because I'm new in scripting, I don't know the functions, so can someone post them in reply? I'll try to script this script.

Thank you.

Hello there, new scripter!

As you're a new scripter, I'd suggest to start from the scripting manual. I started my scripting from there aswell, now I am an advanced scripter (I think, heh').

Is it as that?

Client:

local maxPing = 350 
  
function checkPing() 
    local ping = getPlayerPing(source) 
    if (ping > 350) then 
        outputChatBox("#FF0000Your ping is high, lower it please.", source) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), checkPing) 
  
function getPings()  
    if getPlayerPing(getLocalPlayer()) >= maxPing then  
        triggerServerEvent("ping.onKickHighPing",getLocalPlayer(),getPlayerPing(getLocalPlayer())) 
    end 
end 
setTimer (5000,0) 

Server:

local maxPing = 350 
  
function onHighPing() 
    kickPlayer(source,source,"Your ping is over the limit. (over "..maxPing..")")  
    outputChatBox("#FF0000"..getPlayerName(source).."#FF0000 has been kicked for high ping.",root,255,0,0,true) 
end 
  
addEvent( "ping.onKickHighPing", true ) 
addEventHandler( "ping.onKickHighPing", getRootElement(), onHighPing )

Hey, your settimer is incorrect. Events are wrong

UNTESTED:

Client:

function checkPing() 
    local ping = getPlayerPing(source) 
    if (ping > 350) then 
        outputChatBox("#FF0000Your ping is high, lower it please.", source,255,255,255,true) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), checkPing) 
  
function triggerPingKicker() 
    if getPlayerPing(getLocalPlayer()) >= maxPing then 
        triggerServerEvent("ping.onKickHighPing",getLocalPlayer(),getPlayerPing(getLocalPlayer())) 
    end 
end 
setTimer(triggerPingKicker,5000,0) 

Server:

local maxPing = 350 
  
function onHighPing() 
    kickPlayer ( thePlayer, "Your ping is over the limit. (over "..maxPing..")" ) 
    outputChatBox("#FF0000"..getPlayerName(source).."#FF0000 has been kicked for high ping.",root,255,0,0,true) 
end 
  
addEvent( "ping.onKickHighPing", true ) 
addEventHandler( "ping.onKickHighPing", getRootElement(), onHighPing )

I'll try this.

You only change

setTimer(triggerPingKicker,5000,0) 

?

[codeluaeveryday]

Lol i changed many things. In your client you used onPlayerJoin as the event handler?!?!?!!? UM ?!?!? Its onClientPlayerJoin...

and

outputChatBox("#FF0000Your ping is high, lower it please.", source) didnt support colors, now it does....

and

ofc your settimer was WRONG!

and

kickPlayer in the server was used incorrectly?!?!?!?!?! I basically simplified it!

Could you please read my code carefully next time! I really hate justifying myself.

[Sparrow]

Thank you, I'm new scripter for that there is failers on it

[codeluaeveryday]

Your welcome, sorry for being very stubborn. Best wishes to you. Does the script work? If not what are the debug errors shown in /debugscript 3?

[Sparrow]

This are the errors in /debigscript 3

Client:

function checkPing() 
    local ping = getPlayerPing(source) 
    if (ping > 350) then 
        outputChatBox("#FF0000Your ping is high, lower it please.", source,255,255,255,true) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), checkPing) 
  
function triggerPingKicker() 
    if getPlayerPing(getPlayerName(getLocalPlayer())) >= maxPing then 
        triggerServerEvent("ping.onKickHighPing",getLocalPlayer(),getPlayerPing(getLocalPlayer())) 
    end 
end 
setTimer(triggerPingKicker,5000,0) 

Server:

local maxPing = 350 
  
function onHighPing() 
    kickPlayer ( thePlayer, "Your ping is over the limit. (over "..maxPing..")" ) 
    outputChatBox("#FF0000"..getPlayerName(source).."#FF0000 has been kicked for high ping.",root,255,0,0,true) 
end 
  
addEvent( "ping.onKickHighPing", true ) 
addEventHandler( "ping.onKickHighPing", getRootElement(), onHighPing ) 

Try this one. i attempted to use getPlayerName(getLocalPlayer()). Let me know of more errors if any persist.

[codeluaeveryday]

lol nvm, Castillo to the rescue.

[Sparrow]

This is the errors @csmit.

@SolidSnake, thank you, no errors on it.

Thank you both for helping.

[Sparrow]

Sorry for this but, when I start my server mins ago and I get this error:

[2011-12-30 19:50:40] WARNING: ping\ping_server.lua:4: Access denied @ 'kickPlayer'

Go to your admin panel and go to the resources section and press "manage ACL" - Click on the admin bit and press addObject and put in: resource.ping

[Sparrow]

ok I'll try.

EDIT: It's not working, still the same problem.

[JR10]

Post your ACL, you probably didn't add it correctly.

[Sparrow]

[Al3grab]

you can remove all these resources and add

  
<object name="resource.*"></object> 
  

[BinSlayer1]

you can remove all these resources and add

  
<object name="resource.*"></object> 
  

But that defeats the purpose of ACL..

You might as well do user.* and it's as good as deleted

[Sparrow]

you can remove all these resources and add

  
<object name="resource.*"></object> 
  

It's working now, thank you

but the probelems stll in mtaserver.exe

[Al3grab]

you can remove all these resources and add

  
<object name="resource.*"></object> 
  

But that defeats the purpose of ACL..

giving all resources admin rights wont make a problem , because you are the one who installing the resources so you must be sure about what you are installing =D
