20 minute timer?

[ElPaul]

I'm using _Undefined Pointshop V2 and I have a item to set donators as Traitor and Detective but I want to set a limit to allow it only to be bought once every 20 minutes to stop overuse this is the code i have.

ITEM.Name = 'Traitor'
ITEM.Price = 2000
ITEM.Material = 'VGUI/ttt/sprite_traitor.vmt'
ITEM.OneUse = true
ITEM.AllowedUserGroups = { "donator", "customrank", "admin", "superadmin" }

function ITEM:OnEquip(ply, modifications)
hook.Add("TTTBeginRound", ply:UniqueID() .. "_traitor", function()
if ply:GetRoleString() != "traitor" then
ply:SetRole(ROLE_TRAITOR)
ply:AddCredits(GetConVarNumber("ttt_credits_starting"))
end

if SERVER then
ply:PS_TakeItem(self.ID)
end

hook.Remove("TTTBeginRound", ply:UniqueID() .. "_traitor")
end)
end

function ITEM:OnHolster(ply)
hook.Remove("TTTBeginRound", ply:UniqueID() .. "_traitor")
end

function ITEM:OnSell(ply)
hook.Remove("TTTBeginRound", ply:UniqueID() .. "_traitor")
end

Any help is appreciated

This is the item code - not the purchase code. You shouldn't do it in here, but you'd do something like:

timer.Create("YourTimerName", 1200, NumberOfRepitionsHere, function()
your code here
end)

[lua]
ITEM.Name = 'Traitor'
ITEM.Price = 2000
ITEM.Material = 'VGUI/ttt/sprite_traitor.vmt'
ITEM.OneUse = true
ITEM.AllowedUserGroups = { "donator", "customrank", "admin", "superadmin" }

if SERVER then
local plymeta = FindMetaTable( "Player" )
if not plymeta then return end
plymeta.inTraitorCooldown = false
end

function ITEM:CanPlayerBuy(ply)
return ply.inTraitorCooldown
end

function ITEM:OnEquip(ply, modifications)
hook.Add("TTTBeginRound", ply:UniqueID() .. "_traitor", function()
if ply:GetRoleString() != "traitor" then
ply:SetRole(ROLE_TRAITOR)
ply:AddCredits(GetConVarNumber("ttt_credits_starting"))
end

if SERVER then
ply.inTraitorCooldown = true
timer.Simple(1200, function() ply.inTraitorCooldown = false end)
ply:PS_TakeItem(self.ID)
end

hook.Remove("TTTBeginRound", ply:UniqueID() .. "_traitor")
end)
end

function ITEM:OnHolster(ply)
hook.Remove("TTTBeginRound", ply:UniqueID() .. "_traitor")
end

function ITEM:OnSell(ply)
hook.Remove("TTTBeginRound", ply:UniqueID() .. "_traitor")
end
[/lua]

I think this should do the trick.

If the player has disconnected by the time it is ready to run (20 min), ply will be an error.
So you could do

timer.Simple(1200, function() if ply and ply:IsValid() then ply.inTraitorCooldown = false end end)

Yup almost forgot about that, thanks a bunch.
