#A Issue, this really does confuse me

[lKarma]

Hey guys,
Allow me to make a disclaimer and say I am not that experienced in LUA, nor ULX.

So here's my issue, any ULX command that has no target such as !cleardecals or our own custom commands they come back with an echo that says for example "#A has cleared the decals" rather then calling the players name.

Now I don't know if this is a server side error or its the code its self so I am going to post all the code that could be causing an issue.

Code: Lua

1. ------------------------Chat Facepalm------------------------
2.  
3. function ulx.facepalm( calling_ply, target_ply )
4.  
5.         ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A facepalms", target_ply )
6. end
7. local facepalm = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx facepalm", ulx.facepalm, "!facepalm" )
8. facepalm:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
9. facepalm:help( "Show people how disappointed you are of them!" )

Code: Lua

1. ------------------------Clear Decals------------------------
2.         function ulx.cleardecals( calling_ply )
3.  
4.         for _,v in ipairs( player.GetAll() ) do
5.                
6.                 v:ConCommand("r_cleardecals")
7.                
8.         end
9.        
10.         ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A cleared decals" )
11.        
12. end
13. local cleardecals = ulx.command( "Essentials", "ulx cleardecals", ulx.cleardecals, {"!cd", "!cleardecals"} )
14. cleardecals:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
15. cleardecals:help( "Clear decals for all players." )

Any help or ideas will be appreciated, i've tried everything I could think of.
Thanks

You have "target_ply" as a parameter when you aren't targeting anyone. It should look more like this, I think.

Code: Lua

1. function ulx.facepalm( calling_ply )
2.  
3. --Some stuff goes here just for some fun--
4.  
5.           ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A has facepalmed!", affected_plys )
6.  
7. end
8.  
9.  

"affected_plys" may or may not be needed but I'm fairly certain that's what your issue is.

This makes sense, but doesn't explain !cleardecals, I have tried removing "target_ply" before to no avail.
The !cleardecals has no target so shouldn't it still be putting the players name instead of #A?

If even cleardecals is displaying "#A cleared decals" instead of the players name then it may be something with the log.lua file. Unless you have any errors from you console? That's what I would think anyways.

These are the only errors that occur upon mounting the modules.

Ok so I got a bit sidetracked in trying to solve this and made you an alternative that I found to work when testing it in game.

Rather than trying to use ulx.fancyLogAdmin I used ULib.tsay and got essentially the same thing. Try this out and see if it suits your needs.

Code: Lua

1. local CATEGORY_NAME = "Facepalm"
2.  
3. function ulx.facepalm( calling_ply )
4.  
5.     for k, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
6.         ULib.tsay( v, calling_ply:Nick() .. " has facepalmed!" )
7.     end
8.  
9. end
10.  
11. local facepalm = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx facepalm", ulx.facepalm, "!facepalm" )
12. facepalm:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ALL )
13. facepalm:help( "Facepalms to show disappointment." )

I'll try it, Thanks!

This solves my issue at this moment thanks again!

ikarma, you're using a custom chatbox.
Have you tried your code without a custom chat box?
I could imagine it literally printing #A, instead of normal Gmod lua filling in the variable #A with calling player.
Though the code given to you will do what you want off-hand, it won't log the player's 'attack' using ULX log settings, or follow ULX's echo modes.
