NickBan(), can't get it working with offline users...

[NightLitch]

Is it possible to Nickban offline users using script???

I can't get this working....

It works great with built in.. but I want to log the ban...

--NICKBAN---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function doNickBan(curUser, data,cmd)
	local s,e,cmd,nick,reason = strfind( data, "%b<>%s+(%S+)%s+(%S+)%s*(.*)" )
	if not nick then
		curUser:sendmessage(BOTNAME,"Syntax: "..PREFIXA.."nickban  [reason]")
		return 1
	end

------ THIS PART

	local vUser = GetItemByName(nick)
	if not vUser then
		SendToAll(BOTNAME,"User "..nick.." has been NickBanned by "..curUser.sName.."")
		nick:NickBan()
		local f = openfile("GR8-files/bans.dat", "a")
		if f then
		write(f, strlower(nick).." none "..reason,SHOWTIME.."\r\n")
		closefile(f)
		end
		return 0
	end

------- THIS PART

	if (reason == "") then reason = "for no reason"
	else reason = ""..reason
	end

	local f = openfile("GR8-files/bans.dat", "a")
	if f then
		write(f, strlower(nick).." "..vUser.sIP.." "..reason,SHOWTIME.."\r\n")
		closefile(f)
	end


	vUser:SendPM(BOTNAME,"You are being NickBanned by "..curUser.sName.." because: "..reason)
	vUser:NickBan()

	SendToAll(BOTNAME,"User "..nick.." has been NickBanned by "..curUser.sName.." because: "..reason)
	return 1
end

This is the error I got:


Syntax error: attempt to index local `nick' (a string value)

[NightLitch]

Have also problem resolving Ban()

BanIP:Ban()

Syntax error: attempt to index local `BanIP' (a string value)

NickBan it is possible to ban the nick whilst they are out of the hub, and banning the ip with from there nick whilst they are offline, requires alot of script, and it to log every single user that connects..............brrrrrrrr

Hi there,,

the line:
----
nick:NickBan()
----
Is the bad one,... :s

Because it's about :
----
- added user class methods:
   Ban()
   NickBan()

-- (from the scripting.txt file,, by ptaczek)
----
so,, it's means Ban() & NickBan() are about an user-object, (means the guy is connected) and not about a string,....
Then,, if the function 'doNickBan' is called after the inbuild command (!nickban), and the user is not connected,, you should maybe try:
--------

--NICKBAN---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function doNickBan(curUser, data,cmd)
	local s,e,cmd,nick,reason = strfind( data, "%b<>%s+(%S+)%s+(%S+)%s*(.*)" )

	if not nick then
		curUser:sendmessage(BOTNAME,"Syntax: "..PREFIXA.."nickban  [reason]")
		return 1
	end

	local vUser = GetItemByName(nick)
	if not vUser then
		reason = "N/A - off line ban"
		local f = openfile("GR8-files/bans.dat", "a")
		if f then
			write(f, strlower(nick).." none "..reason,SHOWTIME.."\r\n")
			closefile(f)
		end
		return 0
	else

		if (reason == "") then reason = "for no reason"
		else reason = ""..reason
		end

		local f = openfile("GR8-files/bans.dat", "a")
		if f then
			write(f, strlower(nick).." "..vUser.sIP.." "..reason,SHOWTIME.."\r\n")
			closefile(f)
		end
	
		vUser:SendPM(BOTNAME,"You are being NickBanned by "..curUser.sName.." because: "..reason)
		vUser:NickBan()

		SendToAll(BOTNAME,"User "..nick.." has been NickBanned by "..curUser.sName.." because: "..reason)
		return 1

	end

--	SendToAll(BOTNAME,"User "..nick.." has been NickBanned by "..curUser.sName.."")
--	nick:NickBan()

end

-------
And you can't use any reason with the inbuild command, if the guy is not connected, yep,... :s

Same thing for your:
-------
BanIP:Ban()

Syntax error: attempt to index local `BanIP' (a string value)
-------
You can't use :'Ban()' with a string,... but only with an 'user-object'...
-------
   local vUser = GetItemByName(nick)
   if vUser then
      vUser:Ban()
   end
--------
Good luck,,.... :)
