see if someone is in a group inside a script

(1/1)

xXshadowXx:
If I want to do something in a script based on whether or not someone is in a particular Ulib usergroup, how would I go about doing it?

ie


--- Code: ---
function GiveTool (Ply)
    if (USER IS IN GROUP "poweruser") then
        Msg("he is a poweruser!")
        Ply:Give("gmod_tool")
    else
        Msg("he's in some other group... so no toolgun for him.")
    end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerSpawn", "GiveTool", GiveTool)

--- End code ---
what would go here: (USER IS IN GROUP "poweruser")

also, is this the best way to do something like this? (i cant use LoadOut)

Megiddo:
GetUserGroup or CheckGroup, which is right below that. Both of these functions only exist in SVN right now, though!

xXshadowXx:
cool thanks :)

Major_Pain:
I like using IsUserGroup("groupname"), IsAdmin(), and IsSuperAdmin().

It is really whatever you want to do. IsAdmin does all admin groups.
