Denying toolmodes by usergroup.

[sparky2002b]

Hi, all!

I wrote a donation system on my server (208.122.52.131:27016) which is tied via SQL to my website (c9clan.com). When a user donates via PayPal, IPN notifies the forum, and sets them as a donor, which is then propagated to the server via SQL, and ends up adding the user to userlist automatically. In short, when they donate, they're auto-added to the "donors" group in Garry's Mod's settings.txt and ULib.

I've already given them certain ULX command access via ULib's groups, however, I'd like to allow them use to certain donor-only toolmodes (I've written a few STools). I see you can globally deny with tooldeny and deny a single user with tooldenyuser - is there a way I can deny toolmodes to a usergroup, or, preferably, allow a usergroup to use a tool that's been globally denied?

Thanks.

Not currently, but this is a much requested feature that we're working on.

I suppose I could do something similar to:
foreach(userid in someusergroup) conCommand.Run("ulx toolallow sometoolmode ".userid)

(Obviously that's not an LUA block, just an example)

Sparky, take a good search of the forums. As megiddo said, this is a much requested feature, and I'm pretty sure I've seen code discussion somewhere around here.
Sorry, right now I can't even think of search terms. It's been a long day, and even longer week.(Heck, month for that matter)

I found this thread: http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,3414.0.html

Assuming I update to the latest SVN, I could in theory do:

Code: [Select]

server.cfg
ulx tooldeny someTool


Code: [Select]

groups.txt
"someGroup"
{
   "deny"   
   {
   }
   "allow"   
   {
    "ulx tooldenyoverride"
   }
   "inherit_from"   
   {
   }
}

Am I correct?

[Megiddo]

That's right.
