Hello everyone I am very new to scripting and I have a question, how do I use GetPlayerPing so it kicks players who have over 200 ping? I attempted to script it but it gave me a bunch of errors and I have no idea where to put the functions etc and if it's meant to go in OnGameModeInit or elsewhere so yeah I have no idea about scripting and thats why I am asking I hope someone can help me with this problem.

The code so far is :

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
SetTimerEx("PingCheck", 1000, 1, "i", playerid);

return 1;
}

You don't have to use a timer for that purpose, a simple condition under OnPlayerUpdate would work perfectly fine as it's not much of a code either!

So an if conditions is really simple:

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerUpdate(playerid)
{
    if(GetPlayerPing(playerid) > 200) {
        // kick goes in here, message etc
    }
        return 1;
}

What happens when a player has just connected with 65535 ping? They get kicked using your example. It should also be noted some players do have 200 ping when they're not even lagging just because of where they live. Pings can be as high as 800 to be fair if they are very far from the server.

ok thanks a bunch the GetPlayerPing most likely will work now but I still don't know which code it is to kick the player I tried to write Kick in (// kick goes in here pawn, message etc) but it gave me an error

True. This happened to me when I did the same thing, kick the player if their ping is over x.

To fix this issue, add a simple timer when player connects to the server. Set the interval to, i.e. 10 seconds and when the timer ends, set some boolean variable to true. If the variable is true and player's ping is over x, kick the player.

Even 800 can be a low value, something such as 1500 or 2000 however is definitely an issue not related to distance.

800 is not low. Most players from across the globe average 350 to 450.

This is also a terrible method for a ping kicker. One spike or glitch (infamous 65535) and it's game over. Take samples continuously and calculate the average. If the ping is high for a continued period of time then you can kick.
