Tsay Display Rank.

[Derf]

Hey Guy's!

I currently have this for my Tsay

Code: [Select]

------------------------------ Tsay ------------------------------
function ulx.tsay( calling_ply, message )
ULib.tsayColor( _, false, Color(0,255,0), "(ADMIN) ", calling_ply:IsValid() and calling_ply:Nick() or "Console", ": ", message )

if util.tobool( GetConVarNumber( "ulx_logChat" ) ) then
ulx.logString( string.format( "(tsay from %s) %s", calling_ply:IsValid() and calling_ply:Nick() or "Console", message ) )
end
end
local tsay = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx tsay", ulx.tsay, "@@", true, true )
tsay:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.StringArg, hint="message", ULib.cmds.takeRestOfLine }
tsay:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
tsay:help( "Send a message to everyone in the chat box." )

What I want to do is display their rank

so like (%RANK%) %Playername% : Message

What would I change "(ADMIN)" To?

Thank you very much for the help!

Or can you make like a custom check for the different ranks (like a VIP job for dark RP)

For Example

Code: [Select]


customCheck = function(ply)
             return ply:IsUserGroup("trialadmin")
ULib.tsayColor( _, false, Color(0,255,0), "(Trial Admin) ", calling_ply:IsValid() and calling_ply:Nick() or "Console", ": ", message )
end
and do it for all the ranks?

Define 'rank' for us.
To me, rank = Gmod group.
Unfortunately, various other authors have made their own definitions, for some, rank = Gmod team.
For others, rank = some invented Gmod gamemode variable having little to do with team or group.

Sorry by 'Rank' I mean ULX Group.

Easiest method would be to use ULib's GetUserGroup command
string.upper ( calling_ply:GetUserGroup() ) would return the player objects group name.

It won't be as pretty with spaces if you used multiword group names, but it will get the point across.
