getUnbanTime

[mjau]

Lo, im trying to show the time left of an ban in seconds, but whenever i run the code it displays 0, even tho it is 60 secs left

function test() 
local ban = addBan("123.123.123.123", nil, nil, rootElement, "nab", 60) 
local timeLeft = getUnbanTime(ban) - getRealTime().timestamp 
local dateLeft = getRealTime(timeLeft) 
outputChatBox(tostring(dateLeft.second)) 
end 
addCommandHandler("testja", test) 

Any help ?, btw no hard math expresions or anything, i suck at math

[manve1]

why don't u try using a timer?

[Anderl]

Should not it be actual seconds since 1970 minus seconds remaining till unban?

[mjau]

Ah, lemme try switching those 2. will see if it works

[Anderl]

Actually, nevermind. getUnbanTime already returns the time remaining till unban ( not sure, I could not understand much from the wiki's page, it's not very well explained ), you don't need all these things.

[mjau]

Well you were on something, it showed -60 seconds

[Anderl]

Read my answer above, I've read the wiki page again and saw that actually that function already returns the time remaining ( that's what I understood ).

[mjau]

Wiki says Returns an integer of the unbanning time in the format of seconds from the year 1970. Use in conjunction with getRealTime in order to retrieve detailed information.

And i tried without all that stuff, and it shows me a hell lot of numbers

Noone knows how to use this function ?

[Castillo]

function test ( ) 
    if ( not ban ) then 
        ban = addBan ( "123.124.124.123", nil, nil, root, "nab", 60 ) 
    end 
    local timeLeft = ( getBanTime ( ban ) + getUnbanTime ( ban ) - getRealTime ( ).timestamp ) 
    local dateLeft = getRealTime ( timeLeft ) 
    if ( dateLeft and type ( dateLeft ) == "table" ) then 
        outputChatBox ( tostring ( dateLeft.second ) ) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler ( "testja", test ) 

Try that.

Uhm, now it counts the right way, but dont start at 60 when i do command it varies.
