no limits for admins.

[lyoko]

i think admins should have no limit to spawn stuff. like npc's sent's props.
with the all sbox_Max cvars.
thanks.

[lyoko]

Please?

[MrPresident]

This is hard coded into Garrysmod. The only way 'around' this would be to set the sbox_limit to like.. 9999 and have a separate module that told clients they couldn't spawn after a certain limit unless they were admins. then you get into the stacker and duplicator issues.

[Megiddo]

This is part of the functionality of one of my half-finished projects. Here's the core of what you need, I think. Untested, so let me know if there's any problems with it. It should work fine with stacker and duplicator, and limits are reported correctly to all other clients.

Code: Lua

1. local function LimitReachedProcess( ply, str )
2.  
3.         // Always allow in single player
4.         if (SinglePlayer()) then return true end
5.  
6.         local c = server_settings.Int( "sbox_max"..str, 0 )
7.  
8.         if ply:Admin() or ply:IsSuperAdmin() then
9.                 return true
10.         end
11.  
12.         if ( ply:GetCount( str ) < c || c < 0 ) then return true end
13.        
14.         ply:LimitHit( str )
15.         return false
16.  
17. end
18.  
19. local function init()
20. /*---------------------------------------------------------
21.    Name: gamemode:PlayerSpawnRagdoll( ply, model )
22.    Desc: Return true if it's allowed
23. ---------------------------------------------------------*/
24. function GAMEMODE:PlayerSpawnRagdoll( ply, model )
25.  
26.         return LimitReachedProcess( ply, "ragdolls" )
27.  
28. end
29.  
30.  
31. /*---------------------------------------------------------
32.   Name: gamemode:PlayerSpawnProp( ply, model )
33.   Desc: Return true if it's allowed
34. ---------------------------------------------------------*/
35. function GAMEMODE:PlayerSpawnProp( ply, model )
36.  
37.         return LimitReachedProcess( ply, "props" )
38.  
39. end
40.  
41.  
42. /*---------------------------------------------------------
43.    Name: gamemode:PlayerSpawnEffect( ply, model )
44.    Desc: Return true if it's allowed
45. ---------------------------------------------------------*/
46. function GAMEMODE:PlayerSpawnEffect( ply, model )
47.  
48.         return LimitReachedProcess( ply, "effects" )
49.  
50. end
51.  
52. /*---------------------------------------------------------
53.   Name: gamemode:PlayerSpawnVehicle( ply )
54.   Desc: Return true if it's allowed
55. ---------------------------------------------------------*/
56. function GAMEMODE:PlayerSpawnVehicle( ply )
57.  
58.         return LimitReachedProcess( ply, "vehicles" )
59.        
60. end
61.  
62. /*---------------------------------------------------------
63.    Name: gamemode:PlayerSpawnSENT( ply, name )
64.    Desc: Return true if player is allowed to spawn the SENT
65. ---------------------------------------------------------*/
66. function GAMEMODE:PlayerSpawnSENT( ply, name )
67.                
68.         return LimitReachedProcess( ply, "sents" )     
69.        
70. end
71.  
72. /*---------------------------------------------------------
73.    Name: gamemode:PlayerSpawnNPC( ply, npc_type )
74.    Desc: Return true if player is allowed to spawn the NPC
75. ---------------------------------------------------------*/
76. function GAMEMODE:PlayerSpawnNPC( ply, npc_type, equipment )
77.  
78.         return LimitReachedProcess( ply, "npcs" )      
79.        
80. end
81.  
82. local meta = FindMetaTable( "Player" )
83. // Return if there's nothing to add on to
84. if (!meta) then return end
85.  
86. function meta:CheckLimit( str )
87.  
88.         // No limits in single player
89.         if (SinglePlayer()) then return true end
90.  
91.         local c = server_settings.Int( "sbox_max"..str, 0 )
92.        
93.         if self:IsAdmin() or self:IsSuperAdmin() then
94.                 return true
95.         end
96.  
97.         if ( c < 0 ) then return true end
98.         if ( self:GetCount( str ) > c-1 ) then self:LimitHit( str ) return false end
99.  
100.         return true
101.  
102. end
103.  
104. end

Sorry MrPresident

[MrPresident]

Don't be sorry. You are rewritting the gamemode processes which makes it perfectly possible. =) I just never thought of that, I was thinking of the way I was doing it with the hooks.

[lyoko]

Thanks. i'll test it.

I thought garry removed the ability to limit sents.  I wish he hadn't cause those damned bouncy balls lag like a mother.

Garry did. As Megiddo said, that's an old project, though I think still a very valid one.
Either way, who knows, Garry's fickle at times, especially when hundreds of people yell out in unison "WTH? Not USED??"
Perhaps Garry will put it back in.

[Avien]

Well i am assuming we just take Meg's code and put it in a lua file and stick it is lua/autorun/?

Sure, that'll work.

Fickle is an understatement cough linux cough

[Avien]

Been away for awhile, so sorry for the late post.  Will this script actually limit props, and if so how do I set the max limit for any one thing?  Such as 75 for props, 6 for sents, etc...

[JamminR]

Avien, No worries. Welcome back.

You use normal sbox_max<blah> settings on your server.
This just throws in extra code to Garry's function to allow for Superadmin and Admin group to go past those limits.
