Pointshop Groups aren't working!

[xSylar]

In the Pointshop(by unidentified) I want it so a group like Donater/Superadmin can buy them but when i add the groups i want it just does not see to want to work. It says Your not in the right group to buy this item!

Here is the Coding for the Pointshop

ITEM.Name = 'Adolf Hitler'
ITEM.Price = 750
ITEM.Model = 'models/player/hitler.mdl'
ITEM.AllowedUserGroups = { "superadmin"} - but not superadmin
ITEM.AllowedUserGroups = { "diamond"}     - diamond works
ITEM.AllowedUserGroups = { "admin"}  - but admin group does not work
ITEM.AllowedUserGroups = { "hos"} - this works also

something like that anyway
If anyone can help me thx
also I like the Ulysses forums more then Facepunch forums

Try:

Code: [Select]

ITEM.AllowedUserGroups = {"superadmin", "diamond", "admin", "hos"}

THANKS anyway!!!

Just to go a little farther and explain to you WHY it didn't work the way you had it:

When you want to set the contents of a table in lua you put it in curly brackets.
Example:
test.table = {"hello"}

If I were to write another line defining something completely different in test.table; for example:
test.table = {"something else"}
this completely overwrites whatever was already in test.table with the new value which is "something else" in this case.

Your example basically overwrote itself 3 times until:
ITEM.AllowedUserGroups = { "hos" }
was the last thing you set that table to. Everything before it was erased.

If you want to add multiple items to a table there are two ways to do it.
You can separate each item with commas when you originally define the table, which is what Megiddo did in his example:
ITEM.AllowedUserGroups = { "superadmin", "diamond", "admin", "hos" }

Or, alternatively, you can append new data to an already existing table.
To append new data to an existing table, you would use the lua function 'table.insert'
ITEM.AllowedUserGroups = { } --This creates the table with nothing in it. Items will be added below.
table.insert( ITEM.AllowedUserGroups, "superadmin" )
table.insert( ITEM.AllowedUserGroups, "diamond" )
table.insert( ITEM.AllowedUserGroups, "admin" )
table.insert( ITEM.AllowedUserGroups, "hos" )




The reason diamond worked even though it appears to have been overwritten is because I would be willing to bet that your 'hos' group inherits from the diamond group.

I hope this has been helpful and not confusing.
