I was trying to make a new !explode command,  which is understandable by the name and a !smoke command , but i failed :P Is there any chance anyone could help ?

We'll need a little more detail and some code. I'm not the greatest with effects, but I can look over the rest, however, there are other members of the forums who I am sure can help and probably won't mind to either.

Never edit ulx addons folder files.
The next time you upgrade or re-install, your changes would get overwritten. (And, more likely, you could break ULX)
See my post in Developer's corner -

It has a good base instruction for creating a addon for ULX.
As for a good basis, look how other releases here are done code wise. Explode or rocket come to mind without me looking at our releases.
Once you see the format of the code used for ULX (which to me is the easiest), then you have to figure out how to make Gmod do it.

Thanks for your reply JamminR.

Just a question :
Is there anyone who could help/teach me LUA free or for a very cheap price?
