Time between muggings..

[Curt]

I created my own mugging event, all works fine but I am not sure how I would go about setting a time limit between muggings...like you can only mug someone every 30 seconds..

lol...i can mug someone 100 times in one minute :P

any help ? if so thank you...im sure this is a simple one...and remember you only have to show me once :P

Hey,

This is pretty simple once your done with someone mugging someone else you can either store the timestamp of when the mugging happened in a mysql field or as a session (I would personally use a session because its 30 seconds). Then simply check that the timestamp is longer then 30 seconds ago.

Thanks, David Macaulay.

quick fix:

Set up a new variable in the users table (lastmugging).

Add this to the page when someone gets mugged (attackmug.php? Not sure of your file names).

$db->query("UPDATE users SET lastmugging = unix_timestamp()");

Somewhere on attack.php, run a check on the last time they attacked someone.

$mu=$db->query("SELECT userid FROM users WHERE lastmugging > unix_timestamp()-30");

$mug=$db->num_rows();

if($mug){die("Sorry, mugged someone within last 30 seconds.");}
