How can I get the ban duration...

[hybrid pawn]

How can I get the ban duration in the format "hh, mm, ss" and the ban time in the format "dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm:ss" from BanIssuingEventArgs? Also, I hope I’m using the correct method to handle an offline ban?

oban is offline banning iirc

[marble bear]

the Duration given is time in seconds iirc

DateTime expiration = DateTime.Now.Add(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(ev.Duration));```

this is what i've done for one of my plugins, from there you'll have to style the output yourself

This works for OnPlayerBanned, but it doesn’t register offline bans (oban), and in the method that supposedly handles offline bans, there is no Duration.

[hybrid pawn]

Yes

Look at the ban details

[marble bear]

yeah BanDetails might give information

[hybrid pawn]

I tried this method with BanDetails.Expires and Details.IssuanceTime, but in both cases it gives an error. I’m not sure what it’s related to.

[marble bear]

let me boot up unity to see how stuff works

hold on

[marble bear]

Ok so IssuanceTime is the current time
Expires is when the time actually expires

Expires is just DateTime.UtcNow.AddSeconds(time).Ticks, so you'll just need to reverse that

So to get the actual duration you will need to do

long duration = (new DateTime(Expires) - DateTime.UtcNow).Duration()```

might be the other way around, im unsure, but yeah

Thanks! I’ll give it a try.

Tf is .Duration()
Format extension method?

[marble bear]

idk, im just reading stack overflow

[sweet flume]

Btw im pretty sure there's helper methods for these scenarios in BanPlayer or some related class

[sweet flume]

😭

Why would TimeSpan have Duration()

[marble bear]

idk man

im just the person who researches stuff sometimes

[marble bear]

BanPlayer doesn't have a method for this

[sweet flume]

BanDerails

Derails

Derails

[sweet flume]

The ban storage maybe

[marble bear]

but no, ban details doesn't have it

[sweet flume]

The class that manages the bam file

[marble bear]

i might ask if it's allowed to put the actual duration in seconds in BanDetails tbh, but there is probably some bad implications to doing that somewhere

[marble bear]

That is the BanHandler class, and it seems to have nothing for it either

ig maybe I could introduce a new static method for it and then use it for the labapi events or smth
