about votemanager's timeout.

[meh]

hi there. for some reason i can't get the votemanger to work properly. i just want to change all votes timeout from 15 to 7,

as you can see i already tried to do that in the script's settings:

but it didn't really change anything. what's wrong? and my second question: how to disable /new command? thanx for ur advices in advance.

Uhm, I'm not sure I can help that point.

But about /new command, I'm not totally sure.

I ever try to stop votemanager, but people still can use /new command.

But it only show the outputChatBox, and nothing happen after all.

[meh]

unfortunately ot happens for me. bump.

for the second you can use

  
addEventHandler('onPlayerSpawn',root,function() -- or any other event 
       removeCommandHandler('new') 
end ) 
  

or

  
addEventHandler('onPlayerCommand',root,function(CommandName)  
       if ( CommandName == 'new' ) then 
           cancelEvent() 
       end 
end )

i gotta simply put it somewhere in votemanager_server.lua? ty for your help. ^^ and bump, i still need some help with votemanager's timeout.

i gotta simply put it somewhere in votemanager_server.lua?

yes and you can make a new resource for that.

You should be able to just go into meta.xml and find any of the timers you want to change and do it there but you can try this although i have not tested;

Find: activePoll.timeout and replace with 7 it should look something like 7 * 1000

Like i said, I haven't tested and there is probably more timers to change than that so back it up first.

[meh]

thanx a lot. i'll try that.

added:

just checked the meta, and it looks like this already:

    "jbeta" description="Vote manager resource" type="script" version="1.1.0" /> 
    resource="helpmanager" /> 
     
    

and the time out is still 15 secs. wtf?

ty for the tip, but my votemanger's meta looks like what Jaysds1 has posted. But i managed to find a function that resembles the one you've told me about. it is in votemanager_server.lua . there're actually 2 strings that have this function: here they are:

activePoll.finishesAt = getTickCount() + activePoll.timeout  * 1000 
pollTimer = setTimer(endPoll, activePoll.timeout  * 1000, 1) 

yeah, but when i put 7 in front of "*" votemanager just stopped to work lol. so maybe anyone else has some thought on the topic?

up.
