Title: Possible to over-ride ULX commands and ULib functions?
Post by: jakej78b on September 04, 2014, 09:15:15 PM

Just curious, I was wanting to add a reason to slay. I have done so successfully before, but I want to do it without editing core files. (Been using Falco's ways for too long)

Hello there,
I'd probably add a string param and give an output using ulx.fancyLogAdmin.

Also without editing core files? You could add an extra command slayres - just take a look at ulx.kick:

Code: [Select]

function ulx.kick( calling_ply, target_ply, reason )
        if reason and reason ~= "" then
                ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A kicked #T (#s)", target_ply, reason )
        else
                reason = nil
                ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A kicked #T", target_ply )
        end
        ULib.kick( target_ply, reason, calling_ply )
end
local kick = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx kick", ulx.kick, "!kick" )
kick:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayerArg }
kick:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.StringArg, hint="reason", ULib.cmds.optional, ULib.cmds.takeRestOfLine, completes=ulx.common_kick_reasons }
kick:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
kick:help( "Kicks target." )

Avoid, there's better ways than making new commands.

Likely two most helpful in this instance;
ULibCommandCalled (http://ulyssesmod.net/docs/files/lua/ulib/shared/defines-lua.html#ULibCommandCalled) (called on server before any Ulib command actually runs(which ULX uses of course)
ULibPostTranslatedCommand (http://ulyssesmod.net/docs/files/lua/ulib/shared/defines-lua.html#ULibPostTranslatedCommand) - Server hook - runs after a ulib command call - this one could look for slay, then run the additional logging code/whatever code you wanted after slay.

If I were wanting to do any additional commands in ULX but not actually change our project code...those are what I'd use.

Oh,
thanks for pointing those two functions out, yes always have a read through the documentation first! :)

Thanks, JamminR. I'll be sure to give that a shot and report back!
