Ok, been working on this problem for a day or two for one of my friends. I've been out of the escript loop for better than a year and a half, and I know I'm missing something obvious.
The code posted here is just a stub representative of what I'm trying to do. When a player uses this command more than once every 5 seconds, he is supposed to adopt an "exploitCount" flag that is incremented every time he uses the command.
My problem: When getting the properties (using getObjProperty(..)) from the player, errortext is returned. I'm not quite getting why. Also--I know that the usingAbility is actually set, I've checked using .propedit.
Thanks in advance.
Code:
use uo;
use cfgfile;
use os;
include "../pkg/character/abilities/abilities";
var abiCfgFile := ReadConfigFile( ":abilities:abilities" );
const TIME_BETWEEN_ABILITY_USES := 5; //change this number to how long you wish the restriction to be; in seconds
program DotCommand( who, text )
var abiElem;
var usableAbilityArray := array;
var params := array;
var useAbility := CInt(GetObjProperty(who, "UsingAbility"));
var exploitCount := CInt(GetObjProperty(who, "exploitCount"));
var gameClock := (ReadGameClock());
var useWaitTime := gameClock - TIME_BETWEEN_ABILITY_USES;
//debug code
SysLog("useWaitTime: " + (useWaitTime));
SysLog("gameClock " + (gameClock));
SysLog("useAbility " + CStr(useAbility));
SysLog("exploitCount " + CStr(exploitCount));
SysLog("");
SysLog("");
//end debug
if (useAbility)
//has he used an ability?
SysLog("If useAbility");//debug
if(useAbility > useWaitTime)
SysLog("If useAbility > useWaitTime");//debug
//has he used the ability in the last TIME_BETWEEN_ABILITY_USES seconds?
SysLog(who.name + " is attempting to use the .ability exploit!");
SendSysMessage(who, "Don't do that again...");
if(exploitCount)
SysLog("If exploitCount");//debug
//has he exploited before?
SetObjProperty(who, "exploitCount", CInt(exploitCount+1));
if(exploitCount > 9)
SysLog("If exploitCount > 9");//debug
//habitual violator, kill him
SetVital( who, "Life", 1 );
ApplyRawDamage ( who, 200 );
return;
endif
if(exploitCount > 4)
SysLog("If exploitCount > 4");//debug
//habitual violator, kick him offline
DisconnectClient(who);
return;
endif
else
//obviously not, set their counter up
SetObjProperty(who, "exploitCount", CInt(1));
endif
endif
endif
//flag to let other iterations of this script know
//when the last time it was used
SetObjProperty(who, "usingAbility", CInt(ReadGameClock()));
endprogram
edit: aww crap. "usingAbility" != "UsingAbility"
