Title: Help with a ulx command - adding God to Goto
Post by: Tomis13lack on October 16, 2014, 02:12:53 PM

I have been trying to make a ulx command, as i have already made a few, but i d not know how to stack commands. The command is going to be ulx.ggoto, it is going to be able to god you when u goto someone.

Thanks!

To me, it seems simple enough to add if/then/ulx.god() or player:GodEnable() to our Goto code in a new function, but, as you've already done some commands, what is simple for me may not be as simple for you.
Where exactly are you stuck?

ok so this is what i have so far

Code: [Select]

function ulx.ggoto( calling_ply, target_ply )
if not calling_ply:IsValid() then
Msg( "You may not step down into the mortal world from console.\n" )
return
end

if ulx.getExclusive( calling_ply, calling_ply ) then
ULib.tsayError( calling_ply, ulx.getExclusive( calling_ply, calling_ply ), true )
return
end

if not target_ply:Alive() then
ULib.tsayError( calling_ply, target_ply:Nick() .. " is dead!", true )
return
end

if target_ply:Alive() then
Player:GodEnable()
return
end


if not calling_ply:Alive() then
ULib.tsayError( calling_ply, "You are dead!", true )
return
end

if target_ply:InVehicle() and calling_ply:GetMoveType() ~= MOVETYPE_NOCLIP then
ULib.tsayError( calling_ply, "Target is in a vehicle! Noclip and use this command to force a goto.", true )
return
end

local newpos = playerSend( calling_ply, target_ply, calling_ply:GetMoveType() == MOVETYPE_NOCLIP )
if not newpos then
ULib.tsayError( calling_ply, "Can't find a place to put you! Noclip and use this command to force a goto.", true )
return
end

if calling_ply:InVehicle() then
calling_ply:ExitVehicle()
end

local newang = (target_ply:GetPos() - newpos):Angle()

calling_ply:SetPos( newpos )
calling_ply:SetEyeAngles( newang )
calling_ply:SetLocalVelocity( Vector( 0, 0, 0 ) ) -- Stop!

ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A godded and teleported to #T", target_ply )
end
local goto = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx ggoto", ulx.ggoto, "!ggoto" )
ggoto:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayerArg, target="!^", ULib.cmds.ignoreCanTarget }
ggoto:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
ggoto:help( "God and Goto target." )

it is not working. I added this:

Code: [Select]

if target_ply:Alive() then
Player:GodEnable()
return
end

First, when discussing Gmod code, and one describes a player command like I did, player:GodEnable() ... player is a variable... not a literal statement.
The Gmod wiki uses the word "player" in general, but in code, it's almost always going to be a variable you define, and won't often just be "player"
In our code, we almost always use calling_ply or target_ply. Target_ply, in our code, could be a single player table or multiple player object tables depending on the command object setup.
Meaning, you adding Player:GodEnable() would give you an error. Player doesn't exist.

Second:
You only need to add two lines.

Right before

Code: [Select]

calling_ply:SetPos( newpos )
calling_ply:SetEyeAngles( newang )
calling_ply:SetLocalVelocity( Vector( 0, 0, 0 ) ) -- Stop!

Simply add before these lines;

Code: [Select]

calling_ply:GodEnable()
calling_ply.ULXHasGod = true --the previous command is a general Gmod command, so we set a player variable to let ULX know the player has god access if ever needed later.
