SimpleCommands

[Zmaster]

What is it
This addon is inspired by a plugin that my old friend made for Minecraft servers years ago, back in my Minecraft days. The idea behind it is that server owners can create chat commands without having any code knowledge. I expanded the idea a bit by making it not just show text, but also opening specified URLs in the Steam ingame browser.

Commands:
There's only one command, and it has no arguments
Chat commands: "!commands" or  "/commands" --opens the main commands window (Pictures below)

To Do:
I have an idea to condense the code a bit w/out removing any functionality, will be done in a later update.

Known Bugs:
N/A

Add a command window w/ existing command types: http://i.imgur.com/C1fOKzh.jpg

Configuration:
There is one config file, all you need to do in it is supply the color that text command types show up in chat with, and the usergroups that are allowed to add/edit/remove commands. By default, the color is yellow(255, 255, 0) and the ranks are admin&superadmin

Versions:

Code: [Select]

1.2 (3/2/16)
 - Added option in config to either open URL through Steam ingame web browser or DFrame.

1.1 (7/31/15):
 - Fixed bug where using the !commands command while not having access to it would return an error

1.0 (7/13/15):
 - Initial release

Download:
The addon is attached to this post as a .zip file

Interesting idea. You should have a third option for advanced users to add commands that do use code.

It would require a little string fines, but its doable.


Ex:

Command: !killme
Type: Script

Script: ply:Kill()



You could have it parse the text for lua, doing a simple find and replace for ply (or whatever) for the player running the command.

You could use this: http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/CompileString

Hmm, sounds interesting
I'll try it out next time I'm working on it and try to work it in
Thanks for the idea

[MrPresident]

No problem. If you need any help with it, let me know.

Hi!

When i am a "user" on my server and I write !commands in chat, the lua an error occurs.

Code: [Select]

[ERROR] LuaCmd:1: ')' expected near '<eof>'
  1. unknown - LuaCmd:0
but, it's a great release! it works great !

[Zmaster]

Thanks, Naruu, didn't notice that
I've updated the attached file on the OP with a fixed version of the addon

Hey, I installed the addon onto my server, however !commands or /commands doesn't do anything!

Are you getting any errors? Also, did you edit the main file at all (shared.lua)? I just tested it and it worked fine

No errors as far as I'm aware, and I didn't touch the shared.lua

Awesome addon keep up the good work

[Zmaster]

Hmm
I didn't see anything that would 'cause something like that in the code
Could you paste the contents of your config file so I can check that out

[Professor_Smiley]

I had just an addon like this in mind.

This addon came from me wanting to make an addon that allowed server owners to create commands that will output text into the executor's chat w/o any code knowledge, so I started Googling around to see if something like that already existed and I found the page you linked, noticed how that one only did links, and figured I wouldn't restrict mine to text output but also an option for links
And of course since I'm terrible at designing things, I based my menu's design off of that one

If you're wondering, the code in use in this one isn't stolen

Sorry for any confusion

[Desasterx3]

Oh i actually thought his is stolen, since your version is way better. Does your version open links ingame or in the steam browser? I would really need to have one opening it ingame.
