Cancel a Event

Real-hamburger · 2019-02-07T11:12:45.718Z

Like the title says, I want to cancel an event, after it was executed, or the player types in /cancelkick or something like that. I already tried it with CancelEvent()
But I couldn’t really figure out how this works.
It would be great If someone knows the answers. Because I am at work and can’t test anything here…
Thanks for helping!

Burger?

Hmmm you always want a burger, right?

I don’t see how CancelEvent would be relevant in this case.

Could you maybe define a use case where this would be required?
Also the /cancelkick examples makes no sense to me, as there is no way to undo a kick.

It is for my ressource kick_restart.
It kicks people for the owner that he can restart it without to lose some data.
So, the ressource checks every time after I typed /kickall, If I have permissions and it will count from a amount of time before it kicks. But because of the function that the permissions will get checked every time, the admins would need to restart the ressource to cancel it. And I think that there is a way better option for it.
Thanks for help

I took inspiration from your existing resource and I personally would come up with something like this:

local isRestarting  = false
local timeToRestart = 999999; -- Time in seconds to restart, default is some big number.
local timeWarningInterval = 10; --print every 10 seconds.

function modulus(value, divisor)
    return value - math.floor( value / divisor ) * divisor
end

function PrintChatMessage(prefix, color, message)
    TriggerEvent("chatMessage", prefix, color, message)
end

RegisterCommand("beginrestart", function(src, args, raw)
    if #args >= 1 then
        timeToRestart tonumber(args[0])
        isRestarting = true
    else
        PrintChatMessage("KickRestart", { 255, 0, 0}, "Missing arguments: /beginstart <seconds>")
    end

end, true)

RegisterCommand("cancelrestart", function(src, args, raw)
    if isRestarting then
        isRestarting = false;
        timeToRestart = 999999;
        PrintChatMessage("[KickRestart]", { 255, 0, 0}, "Restarting has been cancelled.")
    else 
        PrintChatMessage("[KickRestart]", { 255, 0, 0}, "Restarting has not been started yet.")
    end
end, true)

Citizen.CreateThread(function()
	while true do
        Wait(1000)
        
        if isRestarting then
            -- Countdown the time.
            --  Using Wait(1000) might not be most accurate way btw.
            timeToRestart = timeToRestart - 1;

            -- Check if we are out of time.
            if timeToRestart == 0 then
                TriggerServerEvent("kickForRestart")
            end

            -- Check if we should dispatch a warning message
            --      modulus is the common `%` operator, if divisable by timeWarningInterval, then dispatch.
            if modulus(timeToRestart, timeWarningInterval) == 0 then
                --This is a local messages, probably let the server invoke the chatMessage command with "-1" (stands for all players.)
                PrintChatMessage("[KickRestart]", {255, 0, 0}, "Server is restarting in " .. timeToRestart .. " seconds!")
            end
        end
	end
end)

Basically it has another variable that checks if we are restarting. This makes it trivial to cancel it. (set to false and reset time).

Did you Script that in this time? Damn you are gooooood xD

Hey!
It’s me again!
So, I tried to figure out how aces works, and I looked to faxes tutorial:

Permissions on a command Discussion

Try taking a look at these. https://runtime.fivem.net/doc/natives/#_0x5FA79B0F Heres an example of the code, just put it into one of your commands Server.lua RegisterCommand("cmd", function(source, args, rawCommand) if IsPlayerAceAllowed(source, "fax.cmds") then TriggerClientEvent("chatMessage", source, "Output message! Permissions passed!") else TriggerClientEvent("chatMessage", source, "^1Insufficient Permissions.") end end) So the The if IsPlayerAceAllowed(…

but I want to use RegisterCommand and I don’t know if this is possible.
But the thing is, that I always get this ERROR:

 InvokeNative: execution failed: Argument at index 0 was null.
 Error running call reference function for resource kick_restart: citizen:/scripting/lua/scheduler.lua:403: Execution of native 00000000dedae23d in script host failed.

 stack traceback:
         [C]: in function 'error'
         citizen:/scripting/lua/scheduler.lua:403: in function citizen:/scripting/lua/scheduler.lua:372>

here is what I got:

function PrintChatMessage(perms, prefix, color, message)
AddEventHandler("PrintChatMessage", perms, prefix, color, message)
end

RegisterCommand("beginrestart", function(src, args, raw)
		if IsPlayerAceAllowed(perms, "kickall") then
			PrintChatMessage("KickRestart", { 255, 0, 0}, "the server is restarting")
		else
			PrintChatMessage("KickRestart", { 255, 0, 0}, "You have NO permissions!")
		end
	end)

every time I type in chat /beginrestart it gives me the error above. I just want that he gives me the message that I have no permissions, don’t know why this is so difficult.

If you need more informations, or something else, reply on thos comment I will answer it
