TTT Setting ulx usergroups to custom player models.

[PeddleMe]

Hi, I'm not entirely sure if I'm posting in the correction section, sorry if I am. :/

I've been trying to set ulx groups to have custom player models on spawn for TTT. So far this is all I've got:

   if ply:IsUserGroup("owner") then
      return "models/player/superheroes/superman.mdl"
   end

I placed this into lua/autorun/server

Is that the _only_ code you have?
Is that code in a function?
Does TTT call whatever function you have, and set the model of the player depending on if it's returned.
The way you have it set is literally returning "/model/.../path/etc" to whatever is calling it.
If that code is just in a file, it's likely erroring out on server start.

Yes this is the only code I have.
It's not in a function.
The only model related stuff I have are;
shared.lua

-- Everyone's model
local ttt_playermodels = {
   
   Model("models/player/gman_high.mdl")
   
};

function GetRandomPlayerModel()
   return table.Random(ttt_playermodels)
end


local ttt_playercolors = {
   all = {
      COLOR_GREEN
   },

   serious = {
      COLOR_DGREEN
   }
};

player.lua

hook.Call("PlayerSetModel", GAMEMODE, ply)

player_ext.lua

function plymeta:SpawnForRound(dead_only)
   hook.Call("PlayerSetModel", GAMEMODE, self)

Those last three quotes are from the original TTT files with only the first one being slightly edited. I'm posting these because when I tried to add functions (a couple of hours ago, I get kept getting errors from these lines; forgot what functions I was adding because I gave up at some point :/ ).

I think this function might help you:

Code: Lua

1. function GM:PlayerSetModel(ply)
2.    local mdl = GAMEMODE.playermodel or "models/player/phoenix.mdl"
3.    util.PrecacheModel(mdl)
4.    ply:SetModel(mdl)
5.  
6.    -- Always clear color state, may later be changed in TTTPlayerSetColor
7.    ply:SetColor(COLOR_WHITE)
8. end

Taken from "player.lua". However, this is called from the PlayerSpawn hook:

Code: Lua

1. function GM:PlayerSpawn(ply)
2.    -- Some spawns may be tilted
3.    ply:ResetViewRoll()
4.  
5.  
6.    -- Clear out stuff like whether we ordered guns or what bomb code we used
7.    ply:ResetRoundFlags()
8.  
9.  
10.    -- latejoiner, send him some info
11.    if GetRoundState() == ROUND_ACTIVE then
12.       SendRoundState(GetRoundState(), ply)
13.    end
14.  
15.  
16.    ply.spawn_nick = ply:Nick()
17.    ply.has_spawned = true
18.  
19.  
20.    -- let the client do things on spawn
21.    net.Start("TTT_PlayerSpawned")
22.       net.WriteBit(ply:IsSpec())
23.    net.Send(ply)
24.  
25.  
26.    if ply:IsSpec() then
27.       ply:StripAll()
28.       ply:Spectate(OBS_MODE_ROAMING)
29.       return
30.    end
31.  
32.  
33.    ply:UnSpectate()
34.  
35.  
36.    -- ye olde hooks
37.    hook.Call("PlayerLoadout", GAMEMODE, ply)
38.    hook.Call("PlayerSetModel", GAMEMODE, ply)
39.    hook.Call("TTTPlayerSetColor", GAMEMODE, ply)
40.  
41.  
42.    ply:SetupHands()
43.  
44.  
45.    SCORE:HandleSpawn(ply)
46. end

 It's best to NOT edit this as it is a core terrortown file, but by adding a PlayerSpawn hook, something like

Code: Lua

1. hook.Add( "PlayerSpawn", "Give Admins Specific Models", function( ply )
2.     if ply:IsUserGroup( "owner" ) then
3.         ply:SetModel( "models/player/superheroes/superman.mdl" )
4.     --[[ elseif ply:IsUserGroup( "your_other_group" )
5.         ply:SetModel( "some/other/model.mdl" ) ]]
6.     end
7. end
