Ummm,

I was buzzed when I posted that.

Okay, ULX has function ulx addgroup

Does that function allow
function respectedcheck
if ply:IsUserGroup("respected") then
ply:Give("phygun")
ply:Give("toolgun")
end
concommand.Add("respected", respectedcheck)

IsUserGroup() is a garry function. It returns true if the user belongs to the group, yes. You might be looking for CheckGroup() though (see docs).

No. Pay attention to the docs. CheckGroup returns a bool and takes a parameter.

I'm not experianced with Booleans yet,

Could you explain? I don't see any formats on the Documentation.

if ply:CheckGroup() "Respected" == 1 then
ply:Give( "physgun" )
ply:Give( "toolgun" )
end

This isn't the right place to start learning lua. Look to http://lua.org/pil and the garrysmod wiki until you got off your feet.

CheckGroup("group")

Title: Re: ULX ADMIN GROUPS LUA HALP!!!
Post by: nofear1999 on September 14, 2009, 03:01:22 PM

so

if ply:CheckGroup("respected") then
ply:Give("gmod_tool")
ply:Give("Physgun")
end

or
if CheckGroup("respected") then
ply:Give("gmod_tool")
ply:Give("Physgun")
end

Your first example should work.
Boolean basically means true or false.

Be careful though. CheckGroup will see inherited groups and return true.
For example, if admin inherits respected in the ULib UCL chain... admin's would get returned as true also.
If you only want the respected group to have something, then GetUserGroup is your best bet, and for that you would then use the example you showed already "if ply:GetUserGroup() == "respected" then"
