Where is the modules folder?

[Stephen304]

I know this is a relatively easy question, but there are a lot of folders called modules.

I'm trying to add in my lua file of wire variables but after trying a couple module folders i can't seem to find the right one. Where is the folder i should use?

ulx\lua\ulx\modules

For some reason i see no difference in the menu before i placed the .lua file in there and after i placed the file there.

Is this correct?

Code: [Select]

ulx.addToMenu( ulx.ID_MADMIN, Max Wire Pods :, { max=100, cvar="sbox_maxwire_pods " } )
I have one of those for each variable i added with just the variable and the name changed from line to line. Is that how its supposed to be?

Off the top of my head, remove the space between pods and the quote, and you need "Max Wire Pods:" within quotes. Also, watch your console for errors. They'll help.

Ok i tried that and now every lien in the lua file looks similar to this:

Code: [Select]

ulx.addToMenu( ulx.ID_MADMIN, Max Lights:, { max=100, cvar="sbox_maxlights" } )
And no errors in the server console or the client console. Nothing seems changed at all in the admin menu.

and you need "Max Wire Pods:" within quotes.

ulx.addToMenu( ulx.ID_MADMIN, "Name Of Slider", { max=100, cvar="actual name of convar" } )

Whoops missed that.

Thanks now it works great and everything's in the menu.

Another way you can do this would be:

Code: Lua

1. Menu_Items = { "Max Wire Pods:" = "sbox_maxwire_pods", "Max Lights:" = "sbox_maxlights" }
2. for title, command in pairs( Menu_Items ) do
3.         ulx.addToMenu( ulx.ID_MADMIN, title, { max=100, cvar=command } )
4. end
