I'm sort of new to this concept so bear with me. I'm currently coding a system for my Jailbreak plugin which gives off a timer and a ban function once the timer reaches it's limit. I'm currently attempting to figure out a method to saving the client's information so if they disconnect, the plugin bans them anyways.

Any methods I can use? I'm not sure how to do this properly.

Goal: A timer is created with client's info, bans them at the end of the timer and bans them if they disconnect.

Any ideas? Thanks,

This plugin determines who it is going to ban and waits for 3 map changes before doing so.
Dissecting the plugin will give you a method to accomplish your wish.

I hope this makes sense.

PHP Code:

if(/*Client's steamid is queued to be banned*/)
{
    if(IsClientInGame(client))
    {
        KickClient(client);
    }
    
    // Add client to ban list here
}

Personally, for something so simple I'd just use Get/SetClientCookie.

If you don't need to kickban them you can create a datapack timer with the steamid.
You can also saves all timers in a global array of maxclients size and on disconnect check for != INVALID_HANDLE in which case you could kill the timer, then set it to INVALID_HANDLE and perform the ban / call the timer callback manually.

do a CreateDataTimer and pass their userid as well as their steam. When the timer expires, check for the client being in-game, if so you can Kick/Ban, otherwise just manually ban the steam.

[Drixevel]

Function(client)
{
    new Handle:packet=CreateDataPack();
    WritePackCell(packet, client);
    CreateTimer(30.0, TimerName, packet, TIMER_FLAG_NO_MAPCHANGE);
}

public Action:TimerName(Handle:timer, any:data)
{
    ResetPack(data);
    new client = ReadPackCell(data);
    CloseHandle(data);
    if (client > 0 && IsClientInGame(client))
    {
        //Ban the Client
    }
    else
    {
        //Ban the client longer due to disconnect?
    }
}

Would something like this work? Doesn't seem to work properly for me.

Besides the fact that you should indeed use a userid for this, I'm not sure you can pass a handle as the "any"-parameter, furthermore there is a function for datapack-timers which automatically creates a timer handle for you and stores it in a given handle variable, regardless of the fact that you do not need a datapack for passing only 1 value.

if u need to ban them in the same round, use bool arrays(or datapacks), if no, so use sql database.
