Temporary Password

[Samusaaron3]

I've been having some problems on my server recently; we use a ranking system based on the number of hours a person has logged on the server. Ever since the last patch, if someone joins the server immediately after a restart and is spawned on the server when it becomes VAC enabled, they loose all of their recorded time.

In order to try to prevent this from happening, I wanted to write a script that would, after a delay, remove a password from the server (that would be used on startup) in order to prevent people from joining until it is safe.

Below is what I have written so far, but it is not working. Could you please help?

Thanks.

local function tempPass()
	game.ConsoleCommand ('sv_password ""\n')
end
local function tempPassCreate()
	timer.Create("password_temp", 30, 1, tempPass())
end
hook.Add("Initialize", "passhook", tempPassCreate())

Remove () from tempPassCreate on the last line

And inside the timer too. :smile:

It should look like this :

local function tempPass()
	game.ConsoleCommand ('sv_password ""\n')
end
local function tempPassCreate()
	timer.Create("password_temp", 30, 1, tempPass)
end
hook.Add("Initialize", "passhook", tempPassCreate)

That's because for the code tempPass is the function itself and tempPass() is what tempPass returns, in this case nil.

local function tempPass()
timer.Create( "password_temp", 30, 1, function()
game.ConsoleCommand ('sv_password ""\n')
end )
end
hook.Add( "Initialize", "passhook", tempPass )
[/lua]

Optimized ftw.

Thanks for the suggestions, but nothing has worked yet; the password that I have set in the server.cfg file stays on the server.

[lua]
local function tempPass()
timer.Create( "password_temp", 30, 1, function()
game.ConsoleCommand ('sv_password', "")
end )
end
hook.Add( "Initialize", "passhook", tempPass )
[/lua]

Try that.

It's much easier if you use gmsv_gatekeeper. With that, you can just specify a variable time to let people in :v:
