[SOLVED] Excessive command use

2009-04-06T12:18:57-04:00

I believe the most common term is "throttling".
I recall user posted a nice proc (function) called "throttled" a long time ago, to make it simple to add such checks to any code. A quick search in the forum would probably reveal it. (arfer's code should do the trick just as well).

It doesn't have a specific name. It is simply one method of preventing overuse of a command. Command flood control I suppose you could say.

All right, thanks so much =D i appreciate the help!

btw I have edited the code a little, be sure to reread it

In plain english, the command will only trigger if the last time it was used is more than 299 seconds ago (or if the bot was just rehashed/restarted).

Code:

set vFlood [expr {[unixtime] - 300}]bind PUB - !show pShowproc pShow {nick uhost hand channel txt} {    global vFlood    if {[expr {[unixtime] - $vFlood}] > 299} {        set vFlood [unixtime]        # your code here    } else {putserv "PRIVMSG $channel :sorry $nick, there is a 5 minute wait between successive uses of the command !show"}    return 0}

He this should be simple, but i cant seem to find the right keyword to search it....

how would i set a lock on my command to prevent it from over using,
like if you type
!show
!show
you would get : Please wait at least 5 minutes to re-use this command
