Well, string.Replace(text:lower(), " ","") is replacing all your spaces with nothing, making it all run together.
Perhaps find a way to add a space after and before each censored word was found.
Formatting would stilll be off, but would be better than no space.

[jay209015]

Is there a way to just test the for the words while is lowercased and with the spaces removed, then return back to normal, but with the censor in place?

[JamminR]

Well, no easy way.
If all they were typing was w o r d 1 w o r d 2 w o r d 1 ... after converting to lower/removed spaces, you could replace with ~**** .. then replace ~ with " "
But. That wouldn't make up for when someone went w o r d 1 a n d I t h i n k i t s w o r d 2
" **** andIthinkits **** "
Here, trying to watch for censor avoidance with people using spaces, you start getting really complicated.
You also start chewing into resources.

Ok, I guess I'll stop with any further developement of this script, and start working on something new

[Chironex]

Nice catch there, thank you.

==EDIT==

Code with the change, but still doesn't work.

Code: [Select]

function WFilter( ply, text, toall )
TextD = { "word1", "word2" }
TextC = text.Explode(" ")
for _, v in pairs ( TextC )
    if TextD[v:lower()] then
        text:Replace( v, string.rep( "*", v:len() ) )
    end
end
return text
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "WFilter", WFilter )

N00b, you copied my error i forgot the 'do' after the for, which i fixed some minutes after..that's probably why it didn't worked..well i don't see anything else.

[jay209015]

Lol, wow. I see that now. All this effort just to get stuck back where I started lol. Oh well this was very educational for me anyways

[jay209015]

Ok, Now back to the Ajoin script.
How do I make slow pulsing ring like effect at admins feet?
here is my current script.

Code: [Select]


local function MakeEffect( ply )
                        EFFECT.Mat = Material( "effects/select_dot" )
local effectdata = EffectData()
effectdata:SetOrigin( ply:GetPos() )
effectdata:SetNormal( ply:GetPos() )
effectdata:SetMagnitude( 3 )
effectdata:SetScale( 2 )
effectdata:SetRadius( 5 )
util.Effect( "Sparks", effectdata, true, true )
end

function AdminJoin( ply)

         if ( !ply:IsAdmin() ) then return end

                             timer.Simple( 3, game.ConsoleCommand, "ulx playsound admin.mp3 \n")
                             timer.Simple( 5, game.ConsoleCommand, "ulx csay admin " ..ply:Nick().. " has connected \n")
                             timer.Create(math.random( 10000000, 99999999 ), 1, 0, MakeEffect, ply )

end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "AdminJoin", AdminJoin );

I've not dealt with effects much. You might take a look at Mr.President's explode release script for the various vector functions he used.

I would suggest using the actual ULib library functions for all the ulx console commands you're using though.
This will prevent having to run console commands, bypasses the ULX middleman (which, basically just calls ULib for the commands you're doing)

Library docs can be found at http://www.ulyssesmod.net/docs/index/Functions.html
You'll most likely want csay - http://www.ulyssesmod.net/docs/files/lua/ULib/shared/messages-lua.html#csay
and - Sound - http://www.ulyssesmod.net/docs/files/lua/ULib/server/util-lua.html#play3DSound

I tried using the ULib library functions, but didn't get them to work. I did however get my effects to work with sparks, but if an admin leaves the server I get spammed with this in the server console:

Code: [Select]

Timer Error: autorun/Ajoin.lua:6: Tried to use a NULL entity!
Here's my code:

Code: [Select]

function AdminJoin( ply)
local function MakeEffect( ply )
if ( !ply:IsAdmin() ) then return end
local effectdata = EffectData()
effectdata:SetOrigin( ply:GetPos() )
effectdata:SetNormal( ply:GetPos() )
effectdata:SetMagnitude( 3 )
effectdata:SetScale( 2 )
effectdata:SetRadius( 5 )
util.Effect( "Sparks", effectdata, true, true )
end
if ( !ply:IsAdmin() ) then return end
timer.Simple( 3, game.ConsoleCommand, "ulx playsound admin.mp3 \n")
timer.Simple( 5, game.ConsoleCommand, "ulx csay admin " ..ply:Nick().. " has connected \n")
timer.Create(math.random( 10000000, 99999999 ), 1, 0, MakeEffect, ply )
end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "AdminJoin", AdminJoin );

I'll let you tinker with the ULib functions on your own for now. Best practice would be to use them though.
As for a tip for how to fix the error, you need to find a way to stop it when they leave. (this you know I'm sure)
You can't kill a simple timer (directly anyway) because they aren't named.
Perhaps an advanced timer, or a think hook self created timer that always checks IsValid().

Ok, I'm getting this error for the ULib.play3DSound timer.

Code: [Select]

Timer Error: ULib/server/util.lua:104: bad argument #1 to 'SetPos' (Vector expec
ted, got nil)I tried 0, but it gave me an Nil error.

I'm still getting the same error with the effects timer aswell.

Code: [Select]

local function MakeEffect( ply )
local effectdata = EffectData()
effectdata:SetOrigin( ply:GetPos() )
effectdata:SetNormal( ply:GetPos() )
effectdata:SetMagnitude( 3 )
effectdata:SetScale( 2 )
effectdata:SetRadius( 5 )
util.Effect( "Sparks", effectdata, true, true )
end
function AdminJoin( ply)
if ( !ply:IsAdmin() ) then return end
timer.Simple( 4, ULib.play3DSound, "admin.mp3, ply:GetPos(), 1, 1")
timer.Simple( 5, game.ConsoleCommand, "ulx csay admin " ..ply:Nick().. " has connected \n")
if ply:IsConnected( ) then
timer.Create( "AdminJoin", 1, 0, MakeEffect, ply )
else
timer.Destroy("AdminJoin")
end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "AdminJoin", AdminJoin );


[Megiddo]

timer.Simple( 4, ULib.play3DSound, "admin.mp3", ply:GetPos(), 1, 1)

[jay209015]

Still trying to get rid of the timer error.

Code: [Select]

Timer Error: autorun/Ajoin.lua:2: Tried to use a NULL entity!

Code: [Select]

local function MakeEffect( ply )
if ply:IsConnected()  then
local effectdata = EffectData()
effectdata:SetOrigin( ply:GetPos() )
effectdata:SetNormal( ply:GetPos() )
effectdata:SetMagnitude( 3 )
effectdata:SetScale( 2 )
effectdata:SetRadius( 5 )
util.Effect( "Sparks", effectdata, true, true )
else
timer.Destroy( "Admin" ..ply:Nick() )
end
end
function AdminJoin( ply)
if ( !ply:IsAdmin() ) then return end
timer.Simple( 3, game.ConsoleCommand, "ulx playsound admin.mp3 \n")
timer.Simple( 5, game.ConsoleCommand, "ulx csay admin " ..ply:Nick().. " has connected \n")
if ply:IsConnected( ) then
timer.Create( "Admin" ..ply:Nick(), 1, 0, MakeEffect, ply )
end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "AdminJoin", AdminJoin )
concommand.Add( "Ajoin", AdminJoin )
I tested this:

Code: [Select]

lua_run timer.Destroy("AdminJay209015")
> timer.Destroy("AdminJay209015")...
and it worked fine, so obviously it's something in my code

Also tested this:

Code: [Select]

local function MakeEffect( ply )
local effectdata = EffectData()
effectdata:SetOrigin( ply:GetPos() )
effectdata:SetNormal( ply:GetPos() )
effectdata:SetMagnitude( 3 )
effectdata:SetScale( 2 )
effectdata:SetRadius( 5 )
util.Effect( "Sparks", effectdata, true, true )
end
function AdminJoin( ply)
if ( !ply:IsAdmin() ) then return end
timer.Simple( 3, game.ConsoleCommand, "ulx playsound admin.mp3 \n")
timer.Simple( 5, game.ConsoleCommand, "ulx csay admin " ..ply:Nick().. " has connected \n")
if ply:IsConnected( ) then
timer.Create( "Admin" ..ply:Nick(), 1, 0, MakeEffect, ply )
end
if ( !ply:IsConnected() ) then
timer.Destroy( "Admin" ..ply:Nick() )
end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "AdminJoin", AdminJoin )
concommand.Add( "Ajoin", AdminJoin )
failed.

[spbogie]

instead of ply:IsConnected() use ply:IsValid() or ValidEntity( ply ).

[jay209015]

Same Error new code:

Code: [Select]

local function MakeEffect( ply )
local effectdata = EffectData()
effectdata:SetOrigin( ply:GetPos() )
effectdata:SetNormal( ply:GetPos() )
effectdata:SetMagnitude( 3 )
effectdata:SetScale( 2 )
effectdata:SetRadius( 5 )
util.Effect( "Sparks", effectdata, true, true )
end
function AdminJoin( ply)
if ( !ply:IsAdmin() ) then return end
timer.Simple( 3, game.ConsoleCommand, "ulx playsound admin.mp3 \n")
timer.Simple( 5, game.ConsoleCommand, "ulx csay admin " ..ply:Nick().. " has connected \n")
if ply:IsValid() then
timer.Create( "Admin" ..ply:Nick(), 1, 0, MakeEffect, ply )
else
timer.Destroy( "Admin" ..ply:Nick() )
end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "AdminJoin", AdminJoin )
concommand.Add( "Ajoin", AdminJoin )

Same error here two Different code:

Code: [Select]

local function MakeEffect( ply )
local effectdata = EffectData()
effectdata:SetOrigin( ply:GetPos() )
effectdata:SetNormal( ply:GetPos() )
effectdata:SetMagnitude( 3 )

timer.Simple( 3, game.ConsoleCommand, "ulx playsound admin.mp3 \n")
timer.Simple( 5, game.ConsoleCommand, "ulx csay admin " ..ply:Nick().. " has connected \n")
if ValidEntity( ply ) then
timer.Create( "Admin" ..ply:Nick(), 1, 0, MakeEffect, ply )
else
timer.Destroy( "Admin" ..ply:Nick() )
end
