New targeting system
« on: August 19, 2009, 08:38:52 PM »
It's in the readme, ulx help, and the changelogs... but in case you missed it, I wanted to highlight the changes to the targeting system. Here's what 'ulx help' has to say about it:

Quote
If a command can take multiple targets, it will usually let you use the keywords '*' for target
all, '^' to target yourself, '@' for target your picker, and '%<group>' for targetting groups. IE,
ulx slap %user slaps all players who are in the default guest access group. Any of these keywords
can be preceded by '!' to negate it. IE, ulx slap !^ slaps everyone but you.
You can also separate multiple targets by commas. IE, ulx slap bob,jeff,henry.

Have fun with it. :)

'@' for target your picker

Could you explain this please?
I don't understand what you mean by 'picker'.

Nice. Wish I'd actually been able to make it to that couch.

Awful tempting. It's, for no single reason my team and I can determine, been a long bad week at work.
Again, I'm sure my manager would understand with the reasons previously discussed.
