command time restrictions

[pants]

I'd really like to see an addon where I could set it by rank to where say
moderators - must wait 10 seconds between using commands
admins - must wait 5 seconds between using commands

etc. to help with my command spam problems.

those times aren't my final choice just an example

And cobalt delivers! http://pastebin.com/9q9ev2rW

Code: [Select]

-- add all usergroups here with cooldown times
local groups = {}
groups.admin = 10
groups.superadmin = 5
groups.owner = 3

-- groups who shouldnt be affected by a cooldown
local blacklist = { "owner", "superadmin" }

timer.Simple( 10, function()
hook.Add( "ULibCommandCalled", "CheckCommands", function( ply, cmd, args )
if table.HasValue( blacklist, ply:GetUserGroup() ) then
return
end
if not ply.cooldown or ply.cooldown <= 0 then
ply.cooldown = groups[ ply:GetUserGroup() ]
else
ply:ChatPrint( "Please wait " .. tostring( ply.cooldown ) .. " more seconds before you use a command again." )
return false
end
end )
end )

timer.Create( "Cooldown", 1, 0, function()
for k, v in next, player.GetAll() do
if v.cooldown then
if v.cooldown > 0 then
v.cooldown = v.cooldown - 1
if v.cooldown == 0 then
v.cooldown = nil
end
elseif v.cooldown <= 0 then
v.cooldown = nil
end
end
end
end )

Excellent use of ULibCommandCalled.

I actually wasn't able to get it working, but I have really weird group names like "adept3+"
but cobalt said it worked for him, so it probably works.

Here's an updated version that should work for you pants:
http://pastebin.com/atz2xHMV

This updated version updates how groups are defined (allowing characters such as + to be used), has a default if the group is not listed, and allows for both group and steam whitelisting. It also removes the timer that removed cooldown and instead uses CurTime so it will just see if CurTime is in the future or not. If you have a large server, the timer could possibly have affected the performance while it iterates through 50+ players.

Thanks sorry this is so late I missed the post!

I'm reasonably sure you can't put lua comments in a table, at least, I used to have tons of trouble doing it years ago.
Try placing the two -- lines outside of the table.
And for good measure, place a comma at the end of the last table entry ("jedimaster+" = 2,

I tried the first script by Cobalt, it works for me except that whenever I try to do ulx commands through the console, it doesn't work and I get this error:

[ERROR] lua/autorun/cooldown.lua:12: attempt to call method 'GetUserGroup' (a nil value)
  1. fn - lua/autorun/cooldown.lua:12
   2. Call - addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/hook.lua:183
    3. unknown - addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/commands.lua:1294
     4. unknown - lua/includes/modules/concommand.lua:69

The updated script by lynx results in the same error pants got, even after taking out the lua comments from the table.

[ERROR] lua/autorun/cooldown.lua:19: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 18) near '='

Hi total noob here, where do I paste this script? Does it go into the garrysmod/lua/autorun folder?

edit: +1 to the previous commment, first script doesnt allow me to use console cmds, and second script gives that error posted even after removing comments.

Although I have no idea about code, I think it's meant to be like this???

end

timer.Simple( 3, function()
hook.Add( "ULibCommandCalled", "CheckCommands", CmdCooldown )
end )
It doesn't work even though it doesn't give any errors. It doesn't allow any commands at all, just displays wait times and you can't do this command.
