is there any way to stop running a script while the server is running?

[Londonbrig0]

Just wanna know if there is any way to deactivate a script while my server is running

[Leo]

Sure, delete it from server and do /recompile

[spkka]

you could also write a function to write information in server.ini and disable scripting from there so could disable script then recompile. Leo's suggestion is faster though

[corl45]

just delete the text inside the includes.ini of the folder, then /recompile

EDIT:
CRAP its not inculdes.ini, its includes.txt   SRRY

[Londonbrig0]

cool, that makes sense, thanks

[poutch]

just comment ur includes with //, for example :

in Includes.txt change

toto.pas  ->  //toto.pas

and do a /recompile

a bit complicated way to do it is add a command to the script like this: (in OnCommand so only admins can use it)

Code: [Select]

function OnCommand(ID: Byte;Text: string):boolean;
begin
  Result:=false;
...
  if Text = '/disable' then DisableScript:=true;
...
end;

except you can't make an '/enable' command to turn it back on, as DisableScript stops events from being called (like OnCommand)

With most of my server mod scripts, I have a variable Enabled, which is true when the script is usable and false when it isn't.. but sense stuff like OnCommand can still be called, you can re-enable the script after its been turned off. But for scripts w/out that, you would need to modify them (and of course ask for permission )
