[Any] Command Time-Traveler [v1.2.0] (sm_future)
 

Description:

Ever wanted to run a command in the future? In 10 minutes? In a hour?
Now you can! Just enter the timer and the command using sm_future and this plugin will tunnel into the future and execute your command!
Coming soon: sm_past to send commands in the past!*

You can also use this plugin with configs if you want something to happen at a set time after a config is loaded, eg: a mapchange.

Commands:

sm_future <minutes> "command args"
Example: sm_future 20 "_restart" (restarts the server in 20 min)
New: if you need to use quotes around a command, you may now do so using single quotes.
Example: sm_future 10 "command 'commands args'"

Cvars:

sm_futureexe_version -- shows plugin version

Install Instructions:

1. Place FutureExe.smx into your addons/sourcemod/plugins/ folder.

Notes:

The default admin level is Root (Z) because this plugin uses ServerCommand(), so this plugin equates to direct console access. Only give access to trusted admins!

Example commands:

"kickid #3" (server command)
"sm_kick DarthNinja 'Testing done!' " (SM command with quotes)
"sm_slap @all" (sm command)
"tf_birthday 1" (server cvar)

Please note: @me targeting cannot be used, you must type in your name by hand if you wish to target yourself.

Make sure you watch your quotes when entering commands!

This plugin logs like so:

Code:

Re: [Any] Command Time-Traveler
 

Only if you've set the TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE on your timer afaik.

Re: [Any] Command Time-Traveler
 

nice idea

Re: [Any] Command Time-Traveler
 

That flag is not set, but I'm not sure if it works, I will test it later when my host un-bricks my one server.

Re: [Any] Command Time-Traveler
 

Sounds good.
I hope you can get the commands in the past to work. Shit would be so cash.

Re: [Any] Command Time-Traveler
 

Just wondering, what how would the past part be usefull?

Re: [Any] Command Time-Traveler
 

Yep, I'm having some trouble with the space-time continuum right now; like if you ban yourself 5 minutes before you ban yourself... Then you can't have banned yourself and it creates a paradox. Very messy.

Well.
You could send yourself a message to prevent yourself from asking an embarrassing question (before you ask it), and therefor avoid looking foolish.

Re: [Any] Command Time-Traveler
 

Anyway you can change the "minutes" to seconds, and "The default admin level is Root (Z)" so it could be used as a cfg command. Like to use it in cfg files like this:

This kinda does what I want:
[ANY] (REQUEST) Delay Command or Cvar: sm_delay (Time in Seconds)

Can someone be kind enough to upload a video? :P

Re: [Any] Command Time-Traveler
 

Input your time in minutes as a decimal.
sm_future 1 //Does something in 1 minute
sm_future 0.33 //Does something in 20 seconds
Etc.

I'm not sure what your second question was, if there was one... But I'll try and answer it anyway:
Admin flags are ignored when the server executes something. So yes, you can use this plugin as you have above. Since it runs commands as ServerCommand() you may not actually need to use sm_cvar, only if the cvar is cheat flagged.


Why? It's not like there's really anything to see... :|
