Title: ULX Get User Group
Post by: hymsan on March 20, 2011, 08:53:16 AM

Hello everyone,

I'm having a little issue detecting ULX groups with lua, I've tried:

http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Player.IsUserGroup

But it doesn't seem to detect, basically I need to do, if ply.IsUserGroup("protected") then etc. but it's not detecting the group when I go in game, am I using this function wrong? Is there another way to do it?

Thanks in advance!

It would really help us to see what code example you are using to test before we can determine how correct it is.

However, without knowing much, if you have a user that is in a group called "protected", that test should result to true with that lua check.

Ok, I spotted your problem.

if ply.IsUserGroup("protected") then  ---  You do not use a dot(.), you use a colon(:).

---

if ply:IsUserGroup("protected") then

Hey, sorry about not being specific, basically I'm trying to make it so Uclip allows people in the group "protected" to use uclip, I can't find a good way to pull the ulx group, the ply:IsUserGroup doesn't work.

If using ulx, grant your protected group "ulx noclip" access.


If not, and you simply have a protected group in your gmod/settings/users.txt
Uclip 1.2, line 31 of sh_uclip.lua
Old -

Code: [Select]

elseif ply:IsAdmin() or ply:IsSuperAdmin() then

Change to

Code: [Select]

elseif ply:IsAdmin() or ply:IsSuperAdmin() or ply:IsUserGroup("protected") then

If you're not using ULib, and that line isn't working for you, then whatever you are using isn't using normal Gmod group checking.
If you are using ULib/ulx, and that doesn't work for you, please return to us with a "ulx debuginfo" file attached to your next post, run from the server console while a protected group player is connected to the server.
