Group can target, need help!

[rs1485]

Hi!

I made about 10 different ranks/groups called _A _B _C _D _E _F _G _H _I _J
I wrote big single letters to make it easier...

It looks like this:
Name: _A
Inherits from: user
Can target: !%_B

Name _B
Inherits from _A
Can target !%_C

And so on.

The only problem is that _A can still slap (or use commands on) _B to _J

It's striahgt inheritance, no branches.

What might the problem be?

Run ulx debuginfo in server console and paste the results here.

I changed the inheritances now.

Everything is like this: "<-" mean inherited by

user (inherited by operator inherited by admin inherited by superadmin
user inherited by A <- B <- C <-D
operator inherited by E <- F <- G
admin <- H <- I <- J

Those that inherit from user can't target those that inherit from operator
same for operator and admin
same for admin and superadmin

Both operator and guest inherit from user, so you do have branching. I recommend specifying what users can target, instead of what they can't. For example, for "VIP" you might set can_target to "#A,#B,#C,#D". Using "#" instead of "%" ignores inheritance, so you're specifying groups explicitly.

That's a fair amount of information condensed into a few sentences (very few people complain that I'm too wordy). Let us know if you need us to expand on anything.

I do have branching now because I changed the inheritances. At first I thought it would be easier to make everything start from user and make a straight branch but then I realised that other addons look for the admin and superadmin groups and you probably know the rest.

I totally understand what you are saying.

If you ever think about changing how immunities work, I suggest assigning a number to each group from 1 to 100. Group B with immunity level 35 can't target Group A with immunity level 50 because the number is higher than it's own number. I'm pretty sure you have thought of this but please enlighten me about why it doesn't work. You can go all technical if you want, I program a great deal so no problems with that stuff.

[Megiddo]

We experimented with different ways of doing immunity, and this is the one we were happiest with. Our current way works well with how our target system works in general and meets almost everyone's needs, though sometimes users will have to be more explicit than others.

This post should be its own sticky. I never knew about the "#" operator. You saved me *so* much time and hassle, thanks so much Megiddo! ^_^

Already is, in the FAQs.

ULX Help:
If a command can take multiple targets, it will usually let you use the keywords '*' for target
all, '^' to target yourself, '@' for target your picker, '$<userid>' to target by ID (steamid,
uniqueid, userid, ip), '#<group>' to target users in a specific group, and '%<group>' to target
users with access to the group (inheritance counts). IE, ulx slap #user slaps all players who are
in the default guest access group. Any of these keywords can be preceded by '!' to negate it.
EG, ulx slap !^ slaps everyone but you.
You can also separate multiple targets by commas. IE, ulx slap bob,jeff,henry.
All commands must be preceded by "ulx ", ie "ulx slap"
