Staff Only check

[xXziroXx]

This function checks if your account is listed in the "staff=" section of the server options, if so it returns "true" and if you're not it returns "false".

Example:

The NPC containing the function(s) is named "System/Functions", and the current NPC want to make a IsStaff() check.

PHP Code:

if (("System/Functions").IsStaff() == true) {
  // Proceed with script
} 


The code can be found here: http://www.graal.net/snippet/detail....snippet&id=116


Hopefully you find it usefull, enjoy.

A smooth way to check for access. Though what about something like: HasAccess("Staff/Boots")

HasAccess()? Dont you mean hasRight(str, str)?

Nice Ziro! Like this players still have access to the server, but you can limit their actions, without having another flag (in Control-NPC for example) to update each time you hire / fire a person.

I was talking in terms of a manually declared function.

It should do. Graal.NET was down a few days though, so try again.

I hate using serverr flags for anything. I'd use a DBNPC called StaffRights and use functions like this:

PHP Code:

public function checkrights(ply,right)
{
  temp.check = this.(ply@"_rights").index(right);
  if (temp.check >= 0) return true;
  else return false;
}

public function addrights(ply,right)
{
  if (this.(ply@"_rights").index(right) < 0)
  {
    this.(ply@"_rights").add(right);
    return true;
  }
  else return false;
}

public function removerights(ply,right)
{
  if (this.(ply@"_rights").index(right) >= 0)
  {
    this.(ply@"_rights").remove(right);
    return true;
  }
  else return false;
} 


This could be used in many other things as well. Thus i'd use StaffRights.addrights("Twinny","MonkeyPowers!");

Server strings are used when theres too little data to having to 'waste' a DB for it. I mean, come on - an entire database for one string?

I use serverr strings if everbody will be checking them alot. Otherwise i use other methods. Also - that script i wrote for a DB can easily be converted into other similar things.

I think you forgot its limited only 255 characters and probally wouldnt fit much.
