Hi!

I want to make a limit for using a command, like 5 per round (5 for every player)

But how?

[Oshizu]

I've wrote example stuff:

PHP Code:

new PootisUse[MAXPLAYERS+1] = 5 // Register for all players PootisUse mini-database

public OnPluginStart()
{
    RegConsoleCmd("sm_pootis", Pootis, "Pootis Pow!") // create command in chat !pootis or /pootis 
    
    HookEvent("teamplay_round_start", RoundStart, EventHookMode_Post) // hook round start TF2
}

public Action:RoundStart(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
    PootisRefresh() // each round reset all pootis limit to 5
}

public Action:Pootis(client, args)
{
    if(PootisUse[client] > 0) // if player has more pootis uses than zero
    {
        PootisUse[client] -= 1 // decrease use by one
        PrintToChatAll("POOTIS") // Replace this with stuff you want to do when you execute command
    }
    else
    {
        PrintToChat(client, "[SM] You can't use anymore 'Pootis' Command") // Print message that you cnat use anymore stuff
    }
}

stock PootisRefresh() // Set all player pootis use limit to 5
{
    for(new i = 1; i <= MaxClients; i++) // target all players
    {
        if(IsClientInGame(i) && !IsFakeClient(i)) // if player is in game and is not a bot
        {
            PootisUse[i] = 5
        }
    }
}

@Oshizu

Anyone who joins a slot mid-round after the previous person used up all 5 commands will find he can't use the command. Reset it to 5 every connect or disconnect.

Similarly, if the player wasn't in-game yet when the round began then entered the game, he would still be on the number from the previous person's round. Just reset to five for everyone, regardless of whether they're a bot or not in-game..

Need a return case for Pootis.

PootisUse[client]-- is arguably more readable than PootisUse[client] -= 1

May as well use EventHookMode_PostNoCopy instead.


@yatchi

Depending on your usage, ensure the client provided valid arguments (or lack thereof) to the command before subtracting one.

Or you can use adt trie with authid to check for unique client.

@Oshizu

Thank you! Worked fine here!

@11530

Thank you too, for your tips and advices! Actually, I put the "reset" function on player spawn, so there's no way to miss the reset (because only alive players can use the command)
