ULX - SteamID to clipboard

[Snell]

This is my code
http://pastebin.com/1BviDHau
or

Code: [Select]

function ulx.floop ( calling_ply, target_ply )

calling_ply:SetClipboardText ( target_ply:SteamID()  )
ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, true, "#A copied the SteamID of #T", target_ply )

end
local floop = ulx.command ( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx id", ulx.floop, "!id" )
floop:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayersArg }
floop:defaultAccess ( ULib.ACCESS_ALL )
floop:help ( "Copies target's SteamID" )

I have tried a lot, with no success. The recurring error re guards the method "SteamID" being a Nil Value.

I believe I had a similar issue, just with a different code: http://forums.ulyssesmod.net/index.php/topic,6722.msg32743.html#msg32743

Try changing "PlayersArg" to "PlayerArg" on line 8 (according to the Pastebin).

Edit: I forgot to CTRL+V the post I was referring to...

ULib.cmds.PlayersArg returns a table of player objects, even if the table only has one object.
You'd have to cycle through it using for loop.
ULib.cmds.PlayerArg will only be one player object.

This is what happened when I tested the Altered Code, I really have no idea what happened

SetClipboardText is a clientside function.

[MrPresident]

So try..

calling_ply:SendLua("LocalPlayer():SetClipboardText( target_ply:SteamID() )")

[Cobalt]

So try..

calling_ply:SendLua("LocalPlayer():SetClipboardText( target_ply:SteamID() )")

You don't need LocalPlayer() for that.

[MrPresident]

Ahh, yeah. Indeed you don't. I just took his 'server side' code and made it 'client side' verbatim.

You would need this:

Code: [Select]

calling_ply:SendLua("SetClipboardText( target_ply:SteamID() )")


[Snell]

Firstly, Thank you MrPresident for the SendLua (I tested it and worked with a basic string)

This is my current code, and apparently the Universe Explodes if these 2 functions a put together. (I tested the 2 seperately)
http://pastebin.com/hdcCe4C0

Code: [Select]

-- Copies Target's SteamID to Clipboard
function ulx.steam_id ( calling_ply, target_ply )

local steamid = tostring ( target_ply:SteamID() )

calling_ply:SendLua( " SetClipboardText ( " .. steamid .. " ) " )

-- calling_ply:SendLua( " SetClipboardText ( 'taco' ) " ) -- Sets Clipboard to Taco, works and tested

-- Prints targets SteamID to console (works and tested)
Msg ( steamid )
ulx.fancyLogAdmin ( calling_ply, true, "#A's clipboard consist of #T's SteamID", target_ply )

end

local steam_id = ulx.command ( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx id", ulx.steam_id, "!id" )
steam_id:addParam { type = ULib.cmds.PlayerArg }
steam_id:defaultAccess ( ULib.ACCESS_ALL )
steam_id:help ( "Copies the Target's SteamID to Clipboard." )
Console and Server Error

Code: [Select]

[ERROR] LuaCmd:1: '<name>' expected near '0'

I fixed (with a friend) this to my knowledge and it works, so thank you for you help.
