How To Disable A Bot For A Certain Period Of Time

[webpro 31]

Any ideas on how to disable the bot for X amount of time?

Let's say 24hrs?

 

I will create some free bots but i don't want the users to abuse the system.

So i thought that adding a 24hrs break after doing it's job, would be a good idea?

 

That even if he/she fires up the bot again, it's got a timer or something, showing how much time they have to wait before using the bot again.

 

How could i do this?

 

Thanks

Maybe you could write out to a text file the future date when the bot can continue and read this file / compare everytime the bot is started. If the current time is less than the future date, simply create a function to wait and check the date / time every minute or so. Put the code in a thread so it does not lock up the bot. The code could set a Gobal variable when the bot is #OKTORUN. 

 

Sorry, I would give example code but I don't have uBot available now.

right idea

 

right to file encrypted date(meters encryption plugin)

onload

if file exists

    read and decrypt date/time

 

    if time_now !>= time_later:

       close bot(Aymens plugin) or taskkill

 

 

set new time to file

   encrypt time_now + time_later(86400 = 24 hrs in sconds) and write to file

time code

comment("seconds from epoch")
set(#time now,$python result("","from time import time

time()"),"Global")
alert(#time now)
set(#time later,$add(#time now,86400),"Global")
alert("new time to encrpt {#time later}")
if($comparison(#time now,"!= Does not equal",#time later)) {
    then {
        alert("No go, please wait.")
        comment("close bot")
    }
}

you can also get fancy and display time remaining in some way
