Cooldown for certain commands
« on: July 24, 2014, 02:30:55 PM »
Could someone help me figure out how to add a cooldown to commands such as ULX ASAY, ULX PSAY, and provide just a snippet of code so I could figure out how to do it? I hate trolls coming into the server spamming "N*GGER" into ASAY.

ULX's anti-spam stuff code are a good place to start looking -
https://github.com/Nayruden/Ulysses/blob/master/ulx/lua/ulx/modules/sh/chat.lua#L258

You could then use that idea within a "ULibCommandCalled" hook to start the timer, make sure it's passed, adn return if it's passed, return false if time hasn't passed.

And, perhaps better yet, this might be a good topic for "Suggestion" forum area.
Though we already perform chat spam checks for the Gmod PlayerSay hook, as our asay/csay/other functions that communicate with players are custom, they don't use the playersay hook.

Better yet, remove the ASAY permission from "user" group.
Seems bad idea to allow users to grafitti the admin wall.

What if a user needs to contact an Admin?

PlayerChat: Is there an admin online?
