Can't pick up some entities?
« on: August 21, 2014, 11:59:53 PM »
Hi!

So I've recently ran into an issue. Currently I have the ranks Admin, Superadmin, and Manager. My Admin and Superadmin ranks can pick up cars and cardealers fine, but the rank I self created (Manager) can't do it at all.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

EDIT: I'm using TDM cars, but it can't pick up the default jeep or airboat either.

This isn't really a ULX/ULib issue.
TDMCars probably looks for "IsAdmin" or "IsSuperadmin" within it's code.
Unless the TDMCars has a way to specify custom groups you want to have access, you'd either have to modify the code to look for your custom group, or have Manager inherit Admin.
You may want to ask the author of the cars release.

...or have Manager inherit Admin.

It already inherits from admin. I also mentioned this wasn't only a TDM car issue, it was effecting them all. (airboat/jeep)

I am no lua expert, but I know enough to do some reconfigurations, post the code here and I'd be happy to see what I can do for you. remember, never edit a code without saving a copy of the original as a backup so you can change it back if something goes wrong.

That's one of the issues. I don't even know what I'm looking for to fix this problem.

Isn't this more of an issue with prop protection? Either way, ULX doesn't really have any control over this- we just assign people to groups, the "superadmin" and "admin" groups and anything that inherit from them will be given those special permissions which most everything Garrysmod uses.

I think I might still be able to help you. what game mode are you hosting?
