Player mute timer

[Gravestone]

This code mutes the player with a reason for a specific time when defined. For example you type '/p grav 1 6' this will punish a guy name grav for Rule #1 and for 6 minutes. I want my code to select the timer in an ascending order. I mean, the first mute for that serial goes for 1 min then the second goes for 2 mins and then 5 mins later 10 mins and so on. The timer maximum time stays at 6 hours. Any help would be highly appreciated.

function punish(thePlayer, cmd, playername, rule, arg3, arg4) 
    if hasObjectPermissionTo(thePlayer, "function.setPlayerMuted", false) then  
        if rule then 
        local rule = tonumber(rule) 
        local player = getPlayerFromNamePart(playername or "") 
            if player then 
                if rule == 1 then 
                local duration = (tonumber(arg3) or 0) * 60 * 3600000 
                setPlayerMuted(player, true, true, true, thePlayer, reason, duration) 
                    outputChatBox("#008AB8 • #ffffff"..getPlayerName(thePlayer).." #008AB8has muted #ffffff"..getPlayerName(player).." #008AB8for RULE #1 ( #ffffffNon-English#008AB8 ) #008AB8(#ffffff "..tonumber(arg3).." minutes #008AB8) ", root, 255, 255, 255, true) 
                else 
                outputChatBox("Error: Invalid rule ID",thePlayer, 255, 0, 0) 
            end 
            else 
            outputChatBox("Error: Invalid player",thePlayer, 255, 0, 0) 
        end 
        else 
        outputChatBox("Error: /p [Player's name] [Rule ID] [Duration]",thePlayer, 255, 0, 0) 
    end 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("p", punish) 
  
  
  
function getPlayerFromNamePart(name) 
    if name then 
        for i, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
            if string.find(getPlayerName(player):lower(), tostring(name):lower(), 1, true) then 
            return player 
            end 
        end 
    end 
    return false 
end

Any help pls

How I'd go about it is make an array and a index variable.

muteTimeIndex = 0 
muteTimes = {1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, 360} --in minutes needs conversion to ms 
  
--onMute 
muteTimeIndex = muteTimeIndex + 1 
muteTimes[muteTimeIndex] 

there might be a better way but this would be mine

This table is created. Now what do I add in my script?

You might wanna start looking into learning how to script first.

You might wanna learn how to help first. This forum is to help, and I'm here to learn. Stop being rude.

I did help, and I helped many others. After I gave you all you needed you kept bumping the post with question marks.

Also don't tell me what this forum's about I've been around long enough to know this. If you are really here to learn,

start learning, cause you said I was being rude but I really ment that you should start learning it. You can keep making forum posts with code that has to be fixed for you.
