IsSubscribed proc (world)

Format

• IsSubscribed(player)
• IsSubscribed(player, "BYOND") (to check BYOND Membership)

Returns

Number of days left in subscription, -1 for a lifetime subscriber, or null if hub contact failed

Args

player: a mob, client, key, or ckey

Checks a player for their subscription status to this game. This is a simpler alternative to client.CheckPassport(), which is deprecated, and also allows you to check even when the player has gone offline.

This proc will return null if contacting the hub was required, but there was no way to reach the hub. Contacting the hub may take a few moments, so it is a good idea to use spawn() to avoid holding up the rest of the game.

mob/verb/JoinClub()
    if(!world.IsSubscribed(src))
        src << "Sorry, the club is only for subscribers."
    else
        // go to the turf with the tag "clubhouse"
        loc = locate("clubhouse")
        src << "Welcome to the clubhouse!"

Danger

You can specify a different hub path and hub_password by adding these as extra arguments, but this is not recommended for security reasons. If you use this feature, it should only be on games that cannot be downloaded by the public.
