Utime -- Show how long your players have been connected this session and total

[monkeymacman]

Hi, I use this for my murder server... Is there a permission or setting that I can set that it removes it from certain players being able to view it? I know utime_enable 0 but I want the players not able to use that command.

Thanks

I'm sure there's a better way but what you can do is: In addons/utime/lua/autorun go to cl_utime.lua in the first section of code look for this chunk of code, it is in the think() function

Code: Lua

1. if not utime_enable:GetBool() or not IsValid( LocalPlayer() ) or
2.          (IsValid( LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon() ) and LocalPlayer():GetActiveWeapon():GetClass() == "gmod_camera") then
3.       gpanel:SetVisible( false )
4.    else
5.       gpanel:SetVisible( true )
6.    end
7.  

You should be able to simply change the part that says gpanel:SetVisible( true ) to gpanel:SetVisible( false ) . After doing so no matter if the player has utime_enable 1 or Utime_enable 0 the box should not show. This is useful if you want to make alternative methods of checking times, because in some gamemodes it just looks bad, or it ruins a part of the gamemode (like looking at somebody with a disguiser on ttt)

There's no configurable way to do that at the moment. Are you trying to set it up for admins only?

If possible, yes.

Is there a way to only allow it in other gamemodes but not in murder and/or TTT?


I really need to learn lua coding

[pieman88]

Apologies for such a large bump, but is there an easy way to get a player's playtime?

Edit: I suppose I should say it has to be clientside.

[Megiddo]

Yes. Look at the shared file for the function name.

[Ciank33]

Is this incompatible with pointshop2?

[Megiddo]

No

We've never been able to figure out why some users get that error occasionally, but it's harmless.

Heey can i get some help? when i restart my server the Utime resets total time etc...... whats the point of it if resets when i restart my server?

[Megiddo]

Sounds like you may have some permission problems with your server database. The times are saved to sv.db in the garry's mod root. Make sure that the file is writable.

Canne, please read Megiddo's precise instructions. He doesn't use many words, but when he does, they are important.

Contact your hosting provider if you're having trouble making the file sv.db in the root directory of your server writeable. It's your best bet, from what I can tell.
