hi
i made a temp ban system thingy and thing is it wont count all the way to zero if i ban someone
local currenttime = os.time()
local unbantime = currenttime + length
local timeleft = unbantime - currenttime
if its not enough then plz tell me my brain gave up and ive been staring at these lines of code for 30 mins
What is length?
os.time() returns the current unix timestamp in seconds. Make sure that your length variable is in seconds.
store the time the ban started
ok so length is the time in seconds the player has been banned for
i use datastore2 to store the ban data.
players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
local bandata = datastore2module("Banned", plr)
local admindata = datastore2module("Admin", plr)
local lengthdata = datastore2module("Time", plr)
local reasondata = datastore2module("Reason", plr)
local banned, admin, length, reason
local success, err = pcall(function()
banned = bandata
admin = admindata
length = lengthdata
reason = reasondata
end)
local function updatebandata(updtval)
banned = bandata:Get(updtval)
end
local function updateadmindata(updtval)
admin = admindata:Get(updtval)
end
local function updatelengthdata(updtval)
length = lengthdata:Get(updtval)
end
local function updatereasondata(updtval)
reason = reasondata:Get(updtval)
end
updatebandata(defaultbanval)
updateadmindata(defaultmodval)
updatelengthdata(defaultbantime)
updatereasondata(defaultbanreason)
print(banned)
print(length)
if banned == true then
if tonumber(length) then
local currenttime = os.time()
local unbantime = currenttime + length
local timeleft = unbantime - currenttime
print(currenttime, unbantime, timeleft, length)
if timeleft <= 0 then
bandata:Set(false)
else
local banmsg = generatebanmsg(admin, reason, false)..formattime(timeleft)
lengthdata:Set(timeleft)
plr:Kick(banmsg)
end
elseif length == "perm" then
local banmsg = generatebanmsg(admin, reason, true)
plr:Kick(banmsg)
end
end
end)
heres the whole script (not really)
currenttime, unbantime, timeleft, length.
you arent storing the time the ban started just the length try storing the time it ends instead
how.
im storing the time and then changing it to timeleft if player joins while banned
why are you adding current time to length then removing currenttime its just going to be if length <= 0 which it never will be
my god you took me out of brain rot thingy i actually know what to do now!!! i will try making the length (in secs) os.time() + length!
lemme just unban myself lol
it work thank you!!!
aaaa character limit mean
