Running clientside code on ULX

[Blizzard098]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to run some Derma through a ULX command. I've done an "if CLIENT then" statement but that didn't seem to work. It's a very small piece of derma so I don't feel like making a separate file. Any thoughts?

The callback function of a ULX command always runs on the server-side.

ULX commonly uses ULib.clientRPC to make players run client-side code. While ULX separates these client-side functions into a different file, it is not strictly required.

The example below uses ULib.clientRPC to call ulx.rcvNotify on the client-side - all in one file.

Code: Lua

1. -- lua/ulx/modules/sh/my_command.lua
2.  
3. function ulx.rcvNotify( message )
4.     notification.AddLegacy( message, NOTIFY_GENERIC, 3 )
5.     surface.PlaySound( "buttons/button14.wav" )
6. end
7.  
8. function ulx.notify( calling_ply, target_plys, message )
9.     ULib.clientRPC( target_plys, "ulx.rcvNotify", message )
10.     ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A sent a notification to #P", target_plys )
11. end
12. local notify = ulx.command( "Example", "ulx notify", ulx.notify, "!notify" )
13. notify:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayersArg }
14. notify:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.StringArg, hint="message", ULib.cmds.takeRestOfLine }
15. notify:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
16. notify:help( "Send notification to target(s)." )
