prevent using admin command after x seconds passed

Gehinnom · **Author**

Hey there,

As you know there is a command named amx_weapon in AMX Super. I want to prevent admins to use this command after 15 seconds passed on EACH round start. So I need to check the round time passed in seconds.

How can I do that?

store get_systime() in a global variable at Round Start hook and check if 15 seconds is passed in the command handler

Code:

register_logevent("logevent_round_start", 2, "1=Round_Start")

Code:

public logevent_round_start() {
	new id[32], num
	get_players(id, num, "ae", "TERRORIST")
	
	roundStartTime = get_systime()
..

Code:

public admin_weapon(id,level,cid)
{
	if ( !cmd_access(id,level,cid,3) )
		return PLUGIN_HANDLED
		
		
	if (get_systime() - roundStartTime > 15)
		return PLUGIN_HANDLED

how does this one look? compiled but didn't work, don't know why.

try this

Code:

if (get_systime() - roundStartTime > 15 && roundStartTime)

Could base it off the mp_freezetime CVAR to help future-proof it.

Code:

new bool:roundfreeze

public round_end()
   roundfreeze = true

public round_start()
   roundfreeze = false

public admin_weapon(id,level,cid)
   if (!cmd_access(id,level,cid,3) || roundfreeze) return PLUGIN_HANDLED;

What if mp_freezetime is set to 0?

The code you have showed seems reasonable to me. When you post that something "didn't work" it is often unhelpful because you have not explained how it didn't work, what actually happened?

Crossed my mind. Hardly something mission-critical enough to hard code. Hard-coding is not the best way. An off switch is nice. Anytime he wanted to change it 10 sec or whatever have to edit the SMA and recompile upload, change map, etc.
