Can't kick bot

[JotEmI]

Does anyone have any idea why both KickPlayer(NameToID('bot's name')) and Command('/kick '+inttostr(bot's id)) fail to kick a bot? I've got a script that works perfectly fine on my server but it fails to kick bots on my friend's server (no errors or warnings, although code placed after those procedures isn't executed). Our servers run on the same OS - Debian 5.

No idea. I wrote some script for my server which stands on Debian too, it's aim was to add one bot when only one player is on the server and as soon as 2nd player joins the bot was kicked. It works like a charm.

Code: (pascal) [Select]

procedure workslikeacharm(team:byte; botname:string);
var i:byte;
begin
  i:=command('/addbot'+intToStr(team)+' '+botname);
  command('/kick '+intToStr(i));
end;
Should work. For future reference, use this page. Note that command is a function that returns a value in most cases and these values can be stored in a variable. kickPlayer is such a stupid function that I did not even bother trying it.

  command('/kick '+intToStr(i));
end;

That's exactly how I'm doing it and it works fine for me. There must be something wrong with my friend's server but I can't figure what.

Didn't check but maybe ip 0 is in remote admin list and you can't kick adminbots?

afaik you can still kick person who has IP in remoteadmins.txt. Only /adminlog admins can't be kicked

just to make sure, are scripts enabled on his server?

Kick() function is enough, no need to play with some string operations like in Command() case

It should be enough but in this case it's not. I've tried literally every way to kick that bot and it still wouldn't work. Surprisingly the problem has been solved by putting the code that kicks bot in separate script. I've got no idea why that bot wasn't kicked, especially when that script works perfectly fine on couple of other servers.
