Need some help with a ULX LUA command.

[Megiddo]

Try it out and see if it works or not.

[LuaTenshi]

Now it says the following...

Code: [Select]

[addons\ulx_sv-hellfox_15\lua\ulx\modules\sh\sh_zombify.lua:15] attempt to call method 'Alive' <a nil value>
Edit: apparently 'Alive()' only works on players, what would I use to get if the zombie is alive or not?

I am going to try to use Entity:health() instead.

[MrPresident]

I think when an entity is killed or removed its entity is removed. So a simple if Entity then should work.


or Entity:IsValid()

[LuaTenshi]

[OLD](May-be) You may think this is odd but when I use my command on a player, they lose the ability to move and ULX does not recognize them as being in the server. They also lose any ranks they had on the server.

My new code...

Code: [Select]

-- ULX Zombify for ULX SVN/ULib SVN by HeLLFox_15 with assistance from MrPresident, Megiddo, and JamminR
-- Organized by MrPresident
function Spawnzomb( pl, pos, ang, ztime )
R = { "npc_fastzombie", "npc_zombie", "npc_zombie_torso", "npc_zombine", "npc_fastzombie_torso" }

pl.zomb = ents.Create( R[math.random(1,5)] )
pl.zomb:SetAngles( ang )
pl.zomb:SetPos( pos )
pl.zomb:Spawn()
pl.zomb:Activate()
pl.zomb:SetNPCState(3)
pl:Spectate( OBS_MODE_DEATHCAM )
pl:SpectateEntity( pl.zomb )
if not ( pl.zomb ) then DespawnZomb( pl, pl.zomb, pos ) end
if ( pl.zomb ) then
timer.Create( "zombRemove_"..CurTime(), ztime, 1, DespawnZomb, pl, pl.zomb, pos )
end

end

function DespawnZomb( pl, zomb, pos )

if ( zomb and zomb:IsValid() ) then
pl:UnSpectate()
zomb:Remove()
end 
pl:Spawn()
pl:SetPos( pos )

end

function ulx.zombify( calling_ply, target_ply, ztime )

for _,pl in pairs( target_ply ) do
local pos = pl:GetPos()
local ang = pl:GetAngles()
local Effect = EffectData()
Effect:SetOrigin(pos)
Effect:SetStart(pos)
Effect:SetMagnitude(512)
Effect:SetScale(128)
util.Effect("cball_explode", Effect)

pl:EmitSound( "ambient/creatures/town_zombie_call1.wav", 100, 100 )
pl:StripWeapons()

Spawnzomb( pl, pos, ang, ztime )
end
ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A zombified #T for #s seconds", target_ply, ztime )
end
local zombify = ulx.command( "Fun", "ulx zombify", ulx.zombify, "!zombify" )
zombify:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayersArg }
zombify:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.NumArg, hint="ztime", min=10, max=60, default=10, ULib.cmds.optional }
zombify:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_SUPERADMIN )
zombify:help( "Turn a players into zombies." )

It seems to work...

How ever I would like a ulx.fancyLogAdmin() to tell every one that the player you ran it on has been "unzombified".
