ULib.ucl.userAllow trouble.

[BlueNova]

I've been working on a script for the past few days that automatically assigns permissions to certain Steam IDs when the command is issued.
The only issue is that I'm getting some backtalk from ULib.ucl.userAllow

The error is as follows

[ERROR] lua/autorun/pttt_admin.lua:174: attempt to call field 'userAllow' (a nil value)
  1. unknown - lua/autorun/pttt_admin.lua:174
   2. unknown - lua/includes/modules/concommand.lua:54

And the relevant lines are

Code: Lua

1.     if table.HasValue( rootadmin_id, ply:SteamID() ) then
2.         local root = ply:SteamID()
3.         ULib.ucl.userAllow( root, rootadmin_perms, false )
4.     else
5.         return false
6.     end
7.  
8.     if table.HasValue( superadmin_id, ply:SteamID() ) then
9.         local super = ply:SteamID()
10.         ULib.ucl.userAllow( super, superadmin_perms, false )
11.     else
12.         return false
13.     end

If you need more from the script then I can provide everything though I don't think the rest is relevant to the isssue. Thanks in advance.

This is just my guess at this (for me) late hour.
Are you sure this code is loading after ULib?
You place it in Autorun. It might be running too early.
If you're using ULib, to guarantee ULib is loading it's functions, I'd use ULib modules folder to initialize this (or a separate file to initialize your ULib specific code files, like we do for ULX "addons/ulx/lua/ulib/modules/ulx_init.lua"

Perhaps it is the location of it.

I'll put it in the ulib modules directory and come back with results.

[MrPresident]

ULib modules is where it should go so that it loads after UCL and ULib initialize.

If you just put it in lua/autorun it might try and run/load before ULib and that would cause the errors you are seeing.

I placed it in the ulib modules directory and the same error occurred.

[ERROR] addons/ulx/lua/ulib/modules/pttt_admin.lua:175: attempt to call field 'userAllow' (a nil value)
  1. unknown - addons/ulx/lua/ulib/modules/pttt_admin.lua:175
   2. unknown - lua/includes/modules/concommand.lua:54

The userAllow method is only available on the server- are you sure that your code is not being run client-side?

[BlueNova]

The command is from a client. I suppose that's the issue now that you mention it Stickly.

Edit:

I wouldn't imagine it would work with RunConsoleCommand would it? Just a theory that came into my head.

RunConsoleCommand would only run console commands, as the name would suggest, on the side it is executed on. You could use (AUTHENTICATED) net messages to run a console command on the server, you could just use userAllow with that instead.

I don't follow

Could ya explain for me please?

Edit:

So I did some tweaking and now I'm not getting any errors. Nothing returns at all.

[iViscosity]

If you tweaked some things and nothing returns and no errors, can you post what code you made?

[BlueNova]

Code: Lua

1.                 if table.HasValue( rootadmin_id, ply:SteamID() ) then
2.                         local root = ply:SteamID()
3.                         userAllow( root, rootadmin_perms )
4.                 elseif table.HasValue( superadmin_id, ply:SteamID() ) then
5.                         local super = ply:SteamID()
6.                         userAllow( super, superadmin_perms )
7.                 end
8.  

I edited userAllow to say just that and the ulx format was lacking so I fixed that. Now nothing returns. What I attempted to do was use user.lua as a reference for userAllow since I was a bit bored.
