Title: Not sure why ULib.tsayColor is not working.
Post by: StaTiiKxKALEB on May 15, 2016, 10:08:16 AM

Any idea why ULib.tsayColor() is not working?

Code: [Select]

function ulx.asay( calling_ply, message )
    local players = player.GetAll()
    for i=#players, 1, -1 do
        local v = players[ i ]
        if not ULib.ucl.query( v, seeasayAccess ) and v ~= calling_ply then -- Calling player always gets to see the echo
            table.remove( players, i )
        end
    end

    ULib.tsayColor( players, false, Color(255,0,0), "(ADMIN CHAT) ", Color(0, 111, 255), calling_ply:Nick(), Color(255,255,255), ": ", message )

end
local asay = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx asay", ulx.asay, "@", true, true )
asay:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.StringArg, hint="message", ULib.cmds.takeRestOfLine }
asay:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ALL )
asay:help( "Send a message to currently connected staff memebers." )

For future reference, please explain "not working". It's very hard to fix a problem you know nothing about. Post any and all relevant errors, both client and server, as well as expected vs actual behavior.
What I can tell you is that ULib.tsayColor(Player ply, boolean wait, ...) (http://ulyssesmod.net/docs/files/lua/ulib/shared/messages-lua.html#tsayColor) only takes one player as an argument, not a table of players.

Also, why are you trying to make an asay command when there already is one for ULX? If you want to change it, you can just edit the code itself (which I don't really recommend).

I'm not making my own, it's an edited version of it. I want it to have set colors and for "(Staff Chat)" to be red, etc, what's in the tsayColor().

I see. What do you mean by "not working", though? What errors are you getting?

I'm not getting any messages after I use the command, I think it's because of what "Bytewave" said earlier about it not accepting a table.

Yeah, it is.   Move the tsay into the loop and change the check from negative to positive for asay privs and you should be fine.  (ie, do a tsay for each asay listener)

Whenever I try to do it, it just gives this error. (http://puu.sh/oTRp5/9b79d4a2a3.png)

Let's see your updated code that is getting you that error.

I fixed it.

Code: [Select]

function ulx.asay( calling_ply, message )
    local players = player.GetAll()
    for i=1, #players do
        local v = players[ i ]
        if ULib.ucl.query( v, seeasayAccess ) or v == calling_ply then -- Calling player always gets to see the echo
            ULib.tsayColor( v, false, Color(255,0,0), "(ADMIN CHAT) ", Color(0, 111, 255), calling_ply:Nick(), Color(255,255,255), ": ", message )
        end
    end               
end
local asay = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx asay", ulx.asay, "@", true, true )
asay:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.StringArg, hint="message", ULib.cmds.takeRestOfLine }
asay:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ALL )
asay:help( "Send a message to currently connected staff memebers." )
