Little help needed

[isa_Khamdan]

Hello,

I want to make a command that's add a user into a group named X and after X days the user will be removed from the group so for example let's say the command is X Player 7 then the player will be added to the group and get removed from it after 7 days. Ok so I know how to get real time but how can I make it remove the user after X days?

I know how to set account data but I don't know what exactly I should set as account data.

So can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Use timestamp.

I'm on mobile so can't help you with code but anyways you can use.

-- I might type wrong name but search for those functions in wiki

  
gn = "" 
Timer9 = "" 
Timer87 = "" 
addCommandHandler("add", DaysNname ) 
function DaysNname ( thePlayer, command, pname, groupname, Days ) 
local Days = tonumber ( Days ) 
if pname and groupname and Days then  
local accName  = getAccountName ( getPlayerAccount ( thePlayer ) ) 
if isObjectInACLGroup ("user."..accName, aclGetGroup ( "Admin" )  ) then 
 aclGroupAddObject ( "user."..pname, aclGetGroup ( groupname )   ) 
-- Now use getTickCount() so you can manage 7 days for example 
startTick = getTickCount()  
local endTick = getTickCount()  
  
local tick = endTick - startTick   
  
local hours = ( ( endTick / 1000 ) / 60 ) / 60 
gn = groupname 
Timer9 = Days * 24 
Timer87 = hours 
end 
end 
end  
  
addEventHandler ("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), 
function ( ) 
if ppname == getPlayerName ( source ) then 
if Timer87 >= Timer9 then 
 aclGroupRemoveObject (aclGetGroup ( gn ), "user."..getPlayerName ( source )   ) 
end 
end 
end ) 
  

Note : This is just an example, you should use SQL or xml for saving Player name, days and time.,

You wasted your time then because it wrong and even if it was correct, if you restart the script everything will lost.

Use timestamp.

Can you give me example please?

Well I really want to help you but I don't have access to my pc but anyways you can also use SQL or setElementData to save the real time ( hour, minute ), year, month, day and you can remove the player from acl group by subtracting the new time by old time onPlayerJoin or by setTimer (getRealTime(), 300000, 0 )and thus you'll get the result. Its pretty easy if you try to do it in this way.
