Minimum delaySeconds for SFSApi.kickUser() ?

[xLite]

Whats the minimum? Is there an instant option? I essentially just want to disconnect them but I want them to have a message saying why (to be used when malicious activity is detected, so I want the kick to be instant). Although I'm not sure if you set the delay to low that it might disconnect them BEFORE sending them the kick message which would be bad.

So how does the mechanics behind this method work and what are my options regarding this? Thanks!

I would recommend 2-3 seconds of delay so that the message can be delivered.

Uh oh, so there's a chance it might not be sent if 1-2 second delay is set?

[Lapo]

If the user is particularly slow, yes.

[xLite]

What does that mean? Doesn't TCP guarantee the kick message is sent first?

[Lapo]

Yes it does, but the server will never know when this happens, it could be 10ms or 10 seconds.
If you send a message and immediately after disconnect the user the message has very little chances of making it to the other side, that's why a delay of a few seconds is the best way to go.

So the server doesn't have a function that waits until the message is sent before disconnecting?

[Lapo]

The server doesn't have a way to know when a message is delivered, it's just how the networks work.

So to be safe, it's best to use 3 you would say?

[Lapo]

yes
