OP Connection Blocker

[Fangs404]

i wrote this because i needed a way for a few select admins on my hub to be able to block connections to themselves (for bandwidth purposes).  type !block to block all connections to yourself for one session and !unblock to allow all connections.

sBot = frmHub:GetHubBotName()
tPrefixes = frmHub:GetPrefixes()
tBlockedOps = {}

function ChatArrival(user, sData)
	local _,_,sCmd = string.find(sData, "^%b<>%s*(.*)|")
	if user.bOperator then
		local index = findOpPos(user)
		if isValidCmd(sCmd, "block") then
			if index == 0 then
				table.insert(tBlockedOps, user)
			end
			user:SendData(sBot, "All connections to you are blocked.")
			return 1
		elseif isValidCmd(sCmd, "unblock") then
			if index ~= 0 then
				table.remove(tBlockedOps, index)
			end
			user:SendData(sBot, "All connections to you are allowed.")
			return 1
		end
	end
end

function ConnectToMeArrival(user, sData)
	local _,_,sName,sIP = string.find(sData, "(%S*)%s*(%S*)|$")
	connectee = GetItemByName(sName)
	if connectee and connectee.bOperator and findOpPos(connectee) ~= 0 then
		user:SendData(sBot, "All connections to "..sName.." are currently blocked.")
		return 1
	end
end

function RevConnectToMeArrival(user, sData)
	local _,_,sName = string.find(sData, "(%S*)|$")
	connectee = GetItemByName(sName)
	if connectee and connectee.bOperator and findOpPos(connectee) ~= 0 then
		user:SendData(sBot, "All connections to "..sName.." are currently blocked.")
		return 1
	end
end

function findOpPos(user)
	for index in tBlockedOps do
		if user.sName == tBlockedOps[index].sName then
			return index
		end
	end
	return 0
end

function isValidCmd(sCurCmd, sNeedCmd)
	for index in tPrefixes do
		if sCurCmd == (tPrefixes[index]..sNeedCmd) then
			return 1
		end
	end
end

suggestions and comments are definitely appreciated.  :)

Looks familiar
Btw, it could also have an option to block connection to specific users. It would be interesting.

Cheers

yeah, i saw something similar elsewhere, but it didn't do quite what i needed it to.

yeah, the block connection to specific users may be added later.  good thought, though.
