MrPresident is there anyway to get this working with steamid, would be really helpful for the automatic donation system and would love to use this on my server but atm I have no need for it unless it was done by the steamid rather than just the username.

Yeah, I will have to figure out a way to convert steamids into the 64 bit steamids which I know is possible with some math. Then this could be a possibility. Just don't expect it for a while. I don't plan on doing any more work until after my surgery in a few days,

Thanks for the reply, nice to hear youll look into sorting it out and I hope you do figure it out because it would be a nice feature and will more than likely attract more users to this addon. Thanks again and I hope your surgery goes to plan!

Regards,
Dave

Suggestion:

Option to temp add user until they disconnect.

I got error at line 40

Code: [Select]
if os.time() >= exptime then
Failed to compare string with nubmer

What the reason of this?

You are sure that is the right line? Neither one of those should be a string.

os.time() is an integer

and exptime is also an integer.

Hmm, it's not working for me. Does it not work with Entities?

Code: [Select]
attempt to call method 'SetUserGroup' (a nil value)

Without going into too many details, a player is-a entity (inheritance relationship). Are you sure you're using the right entity number? They'll always be in the range 1-<max players>.

Yeah, I'm aware of the player-entity relationship, just thought for a moment it might've not counted here.

And it doesn't work whatever way I do it:

Code: [Select]
Entity(ply:EntIndex()):SetUserGroup("superadmin")
Code: [Select]
print(Entity(1):GetName()) -- prints my nick correctly
Entity(1):SetUserGroup("superadmin") -- error

Works for me. Something's wrong in your Lua environment, perhaps?

Code: [Select]
lua_run print(Entity(1))
> print(Entity(1))...
Player [1][[ULX]Megiddo]
lua_run Entity(1):SetUserGroup("superadmin")
> Entity(1):SetUserGroup("superadmin")...
