Kick a player a in a delay of 3 seconds.

[maxterchief]

I want to be able to kick a player in a delay of three seconds after I type my command. I want the command to work like this. A console command followed by two arguments.

gtfo Maxterchief "spawnkilling"

Command to kick someone, who I want to kick, the reason.

I have tried this and the delay is the only thing that doesn't work. It immediately kicks the player and then after 3 seconds, it says timer error.

Here is my code:

[lua]
function gtfokick(caller, command, args)

if caller:IsAdmin() then

for k, v in pairs (player.GetAll()) do

if v:Nick() == args[1] then

timer.Create("kicktimer", 3, 1, v:Kick(args[2]))
timer.Start("kicktimer")

end

end

end

end

concommand.Add("gtfo", gtfokick)
[/lua]

Replace line 9 and 10 with this:

[lua]timer.Simple(3, v.Kick, v, args[2])[/lua]

Untested.

I think it would be v:Kick()

[Overv]

No, you can't call v:Kick( ) like that directly in a timer, you'd need to wrap it inside a function. That's why it's better to call it the other way. Note here that

[lua]v:Kick( )[/lua]

is exactly the same as:

[lua]v.Kick( v )[/lua]

Same problem when I tried your way. :(

I did this Overv:

[lua]
timer.Simple(3, v:Kick(args[2]))
[/lua]

MakeR has already told you how to do it...

Fine you win. XD Thanks... It worked.

[MakeR]

Your'e welcome, but next time you ask for help make sure to try the suggestions before you knock them.

[maxterchief]

I don't see how v.Kick works. Why is it you can use a . and not a : ?

[MakeR]

v:Nick() is the same as v.Nick(v). the [b]:[/b] passes the object it is called on as the first argument.

[maxterchief]

Ok. Thanks! :D

Is there a way I can get a bunch more lines of code to run with the kick target defined after three seconds?

[|FlapJack|]

timer.Simple(3 , function()
	for k , v in ipairs(player.GetAll() do
		if v:Nick() == "TargetName" then
			v:ChatPrint("You have been banned for x Bitch and moan at our forums - www.x.y")
			
			// Do more code here
			
			v:Ban(time , reason)
		end
	end
end )

[maxterchief]

Also can I make it so that I only have to type part of the name?

[Overv]

Yes, by changing the equal expression to:

[lua]if string.find( v:Nick( ), "TargetName" ) or v:Nick( ) == "TargetName" then[/lua]

(Last time I checked string.find does [b]not[/b] return true when the two strings are equal.)

If you want it to match case insensitive, make both strings lowercase with string.lower.

Thank you.
