In trying to limit some access to the BBS during late hours for some
aspects of game play (They beep on errors) DM suggested using FLAGS to
be set when ever someone logs in after normal hours and to check for
that flag for any game play. So looking up ARS in the BAJA manual (or
was it the Sysops guide to nightmares...?) I came up with this tiny bit
of baja code. It's at the top of default.src. I suppose I will need a
coounter bit to reset the flag as a logoff action... but anyway.


!include sbbsdefs.inc
#
# COMPARE_ARS F4Z
# IF_FALSE
# TOGGLE_USER_FLAG F4Z
# COMPARE_ARS TIME NOT 22:00 OR 06:30
# IF_TRUE
# TOGGLE_USER_FLAG 4Z
#

# Set return point for main menu commands (via end_cmd)
cmd_home


It also seems that the toggle back mighT get skipped if a user leaves by disconnect.

Perhaps a test that will go either way. Toggle on if it's not too late
in the day or off if it is past curfew.

Then just make the XTRN screen disallow lines with the flag 4z, right?


Hmm flag set 1 only for screen display filtering...

Now to see if there are any unused flags in set one... sorry I was
thiking (or not) of the exemptions and restrictions flags, which are
fairly well well spoken for...

OK so it's Flag 1 that gets toggled. Hopefully my bit of code sets 1z
off and back on IF it's after curfew.

I sort of wrote this as a diary. Delete anything stupid when replying.

I have come up with THIS incarnation:

################################# Begins Here #################################

!include sbbsdefs.inc

#
# Makes sure the 1z flag is in the OFF (not set possition)
# COMPARE_ARS F1Z
# IF_TRUE
# TOGGLE_USER_FLAG F1Z
#

# Checks to see what time it is and set 1z flag is between the hours
# of 10:00 PM and 06:30 AM
# COMPARE_ARS TIME NOT 22:00 OR 06:30
# IF_TRUE
# TOGGLE_USER_FLAG 1Z
# print "Do to the lateness of the hour, "
# print "some games will not be availible to you"

Comments?

All the code is commented out?

In addition to the problem of toggling the flag without first checking to see if its set or not.
