ulx explode

[JamminR]

How did you guys get around that with slay?

Megiddo, he still may want to go further than that and use our variable.

I forget the exact check, but we have a variable set if in a vehicle, being mauled, jailed, ragdolled, and a few other instances that will prevent other actions from being performed.
You probably wouldn't want explode performed on a ragdolled player either. Though, then again, that might be funny. I think we have the ragdoll dissapear if the player dies/kills themself.
I'm on the run, or would look up the code for you.

(totally off topic - On run because wife and I are going house shopping again. Pray we find one, or I'll never be motivated to do all the little tasks this one needs to get back on the market again)

ulx.getExclusive( target, initiator ):
Both args are players. Initiator is optional, used to generate "your are" if target == initiator. Returns a string you should print if exclusivity is set, nil otherwise. You should not continue the action if it returns a string (return from the function).

Example:

Code: Lua

1. if ulx.getExclusive( v, ply ) then
2.         ULib.tsay( ply, ulx.getExclusive( v, ply ), true )
3.         return
4. end

ulx.setExclusive( target, string ):
target is a player. String should describe the action that's taking exclusivity.

Example:

Code: Lua

1. ulx.setExclusive( ply, "spectating" )

ulx.clearExclusive( target ):
Clears exclusiveness from a player.

Regardless to how old this thread might be, I think there should be need of a "implode" command. One which splats the player and pulls objects like props and whatever towards where the person was. Now on the idea of pulling props maybe there should be a "magnetize" command which causes unwelded and unfrozen props to be attracted at high speeds towards the "victim" of said command, also preventing use of noclip while effected would be ideal, as would the removal of godmode on effected "victim". With this all said I will be more then happy to be "victim" to these commands when they are being tested, should I be online at the time.

Now on the idea of pulling props maybe there should be a "magnetize" command which causes unwelded and unfrozen props...

Actually, I think it should create gibs or temporary props that fly towards the player instead of pulling props currently on the map or near the person to avoid conflict with other peoples contraptions.

[Ascendant]

Hmm you have a point...how about props of people that are not connected(and not an admin) that haven't been deleted yet? I doubt anyone will care about those.

Bah, you two are just taking the fun and simplicity out of it.
Think Ulysses motto - Striving for Simplicity!

[Megiddo]

But he's not of Ulysses

[JamminR]

Heh, so? ulx explode.
Fun. Simple.

Not ulx explode_affect_only_certain_players_and_only_certain_props_only_if_certain_conditions_apply.


He's got his custom game mode he's been working on for months (see his forum and Stranded server) for complexity.

Ermmm where the download link?  

[Megiddo]

You must sign up for an account to see it.

Ok I registered I don't know why I didn't in the first place?

Nice module by the way. It's a fun add-on for some extra lols once in awhile and not too overpowered that it effects all players. By the way, I've noticed that it doesn't seem to work when a player is in a shuttle. I assume that the vehicle tweaks that you've applied to your script doesn't also work for sents too.

ulx\modules/explode.lua:103: attempt to call method 'Frags' (a nil value)

[Megiddo]

Considering how many updates have been made to Gmod between when this was released and now, it's a minor miracle this works at all anymore, sparky.

[atomicspark]

I've actually seen a lot of add-ons producing nil value errors. Probably removed/changed functions.
