Lua Help
« on: August 31, 2009, 03:17:30 PM »
I am trying to make a script that gives guns to certain groups. I have been learning a little bit of lua from jay but I seem to be stumped on this one. Help is greatly appreciated.

Code: [Select]
local function StartingGuns( ply )
ply:StripWeapons()
ply:Give( "weapon_physcannon" )
ply:Give( "weapon_physgun" )
ply:Give( "gmod_tool" )
ply:Give( "gmod_camera" )
if ply:IsUserGroup("admin") then
ply:Give( "weapon_punisher" )
ply:Give( "ulx_gun" )
end
if ply:IsUserGroup("superadmin") then
ply:Give( "weapon_punisher" )
ply:Give( "ulx_gun" )
ply:Give( "weapon_ar2" )
end
if ply:IsUserGroup("owner") then
ply:Give( "weapon_punisher" )
ply:Give( "ulx_gun" )
ply:Give( "weapon_haxgun" )
ply:Give( "weapon_ar2")
end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerLoadout", "StartingGuns", StartingGuns)

local function FirstSpawn( ply )
if ply:isAdmin or ply:isSuperAdmin then
ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Major Pain: Oh hai thar admin! Lolz" )
end
end

hood.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "FirstSpawn", FirstSpawn)

local function Spawn
if ply:IsUserGroup("owner") then
ply:SetGravity( 0, 90 )
ply:SetWalkSpeed( 325 )
ply:SetRunSpeed( 1000 )
end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerSpawn", "PlayerSpawn", Spawn)
I put the "Oh hai thar admin" thing for testing purposes.

Lol, how silly of me. Thanks jay. I suppose I will leave this open for more lua questions in the future if that's alright. I'm only a beginner.  :)

EDIT: Tested and it still doesn't work.

Code: [Select]
if ply:isAdmin or ply:isSuperAdmin thenneeds to be:
Code: [Select]
if ply:IsAdmin() then
IsSuperadmin() is not needed, since they are a part of IsAdmin() already.

Lol, fixed that and now the chat thing works but still doesn't strip my weapons and give me the new ones.

Updated Code:
Code: [Select]
local function StartingGuns( ply )
ply:StripWeapons()
ply:Give( "weapon_physcannon" )
ply:Give( "weapon_physgun" )
ply:Give( "gmod_tool" )
ply:Give( "gmod_camera" )
if ply:IsUserGroup("admin") then
ply:Give( "weapon_punisher" )
ply:Give( "ulx_gun" )
end
if ply:IsUserGroup("superadmin") then
ply:Give( "weapon_punisher" )
ply:Give( "ulx_gun" )
ply:Give( "weapon_ar2" )
end
if ply:IsUserGroup("owner") then
ply:Give( "weapon_punisher" )
ply:Give( "ulx_gun" )
ply:Give( "weapon_haxgun" )
ply:Give( "weapon_ar2")
end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerLoadout", "StartingGuns", StartingGuns)

local function FirstSpawn( ply )
if ply:IsAdmin() then
ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Major Pain: Oh hai thar admin! Lolz" )
end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "FirstSpawn", FirstSpawn)

local function Spawn ( ply )
if ply:IsUserGroup("owner") then
ply:SetGravity( 0, 90 )
ply:SetWalkSpeed( 325 )
ply:SetRunSpeed( 1000 )
end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerSpawn", "PlayerSpawn", Spawn)
EDIT: Tried to change PlayerLoadout to PlayerSpawn on the "StartingGuns" function and that didn't work either.

Ok! So after a lot of fail on my part the wiki prevailed.

Now I have a new problem.
Thanks Jay!

Using a dedicated server?
Those are server functions, so if you're only editing locally then joining your server, those functions won't run.

What errors are you getting, if they aren't working?

I was testing on my local machine by creating a lan server. I am using it for a legit server now thanks to jay's help off of the forums.

Random question, are you using or have you tested XGUI at all? I noticed my listen server saying that a while ago, I just hope it wasn't something I did  :o

EDIT: Never mind, I saw your post in the XGUI thread.. do you remember exactly when it started saying this?

Okay! I have started a new script that sets prop limit per user group. All I need to know is how to figure out a person's prop count. I tried doing ply:GetCount( "props" ). I wasn't successful.

Major Pain, see our UNoLimited script in releases.
Though not done by usergroup other than admin and superadmin (yet), it should give you a good basis to look in for at least the counting portions.

Jay informed me that GetCount("props") is correct, so my script must be wrong somewhere. I am going to post it here:

Code: [Select]
local totalProps = {}

local function PropLimit( ply )
        totalProps[ply] = ply:GetCount("props")
if ply:IsUserGroup("minge") then
return false
end
if ply:IsUserGroup("user") then
if totalProps[ply]>30 then
return false
end
end
if ply:IsUserGroup("starter") then
if totalProps[ply]>50 then
return false
end
end
if ply:IsUserGroup("regular") then
if totalProps[ply]>70 then
return false
end
end
if ply:IsUserGroup("members") then
if totalProps[ply]>100 then
return false
end
end
if ply:IsUserGroup("gettingthere") then
if totalProps[ply]>125 then
return false
end
end
if ply:IsUserGroup("there") then
if totalProps[ply]>150 then
return false
end
end
if ply:IsUserGroup("cavedweller") then
if totalProps[ply]>175 then
return false
end
end
if ply:IsUserGroup("nolife") then
if totalProps[ply]>200 then
return false
end
end
if ply:IsUserGroup("moderator") then
if totalProps[ply]>300 then
return false
end
end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerSpawnProp", "blockProps", PropLimit)

local function CantOpen ( ply )
if ply:IsUserGroup("minge") then
ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Silly minge! Props are for players!" )
return false
end
end

hook.Add( "OnSpawnMenuOpen", "OpenMenu", CantOpen)
I'll go take a look at the UNoLimited.
