URS BETA - A Highly Customizeable Restriction System (or will be)

[Aaron113]

it wasn't until like May of this year that you had pretty much fully returned. I just hadn't said anything until now.

That's what I thought heh.  I was like... I've been kinda half way back for months.  It's just phases, I like to mix it up.

More sbox cvar limits would be awesome, like wiremod limits or the rest of the gmod limit?

Good idea, I'll look into it.

Is there a way I could print the limit of a category to say a hud?

Assuming URS is old school, and uses flat files in the DATA folder, then you can have server side grab the cvar's set data from the file, and move it client side to a HUD.

Though I don't know too much about cvar's though, and you might be able to actually grab that cvar data from a command that garry's mod has, like:

Code: Lua

1. local whatever_cvar_name_is = GetConVar( "wire_lights" )
2. print( whatever_cvar_name_is:GetInt() )

I don't know if cvars are client or server though, I lack that information on them, but you can try to see if the above command would work for you.

Gmod has a way of doing this in the form of :

Code: [Select]

cvars.Number( "sbox_maxprops" )which is what I'm using however, this inserts the original server side value and not the one set in urs

huh, weird. Wait for aaron to say something, he knows this best.

Uh, you would have to check to see if URS has the limit first.  You can do that through XGUI's data.  The table is xgui.data.URSLimits.  After that you would have to check default limit.  I would make a function that does this so you can just call one function.  There is no built in URS function in this version.  However, in the future version I have included one, but it could use some fine tweaking for this specific situation.

You can see my serverside code for checking here (do keep in mind you have to change it to use the above mentioned table):  https://github.com/Aaron113/urs/blob/master/lua/ulx/modules/urs_server.lua#L74-L85

EDIT: 800th post... WHOO!

Could I run it like this if every usergroup had a set limit?

Code: [Select]

LocalPlayer():GetCount( "props" ) .. "/" .. xgui.data.URSLimits["prop"][LocalPlayer():GetUserGroup()]
EDIT: It works... however, when I first load into the game I get lua errors saying: "prop" is a nil value. This goes away after a few seconds. My guess is that the table isn't getting initialized until I spawn. How could I make the table initialize before I completely load in?

You can most likely fix that by doing this:

Code: [Select]

if xgui != nil then
LocalPlayer():GetCount( "props" ) .. "/" .. xgui.data.URSLimits["prop"][LocalPlayer():GetUserGroup()]
end

You have to check to make sure all the tables exist before trying to access them.  Otherwise you will get errors.  And this won't work for people who don't have limits.

Managed to make it work with a simple check

Code: [Select]

if xgui.data.URSLimits["prop"] then
Thanks bob ;-;

Might want to see if the usergroup one exists as well.

I'm a little lost what do you mean?

Code: [Select]

if xgui.data.URSLimits["prop"] and xgui.data.URSLImits["prop"][ply:GetUserGroup() thenThat, just to make sure both exist. 

PS.  Sorry for late reply, don't believe I ever got notified.

where do i put the file?

I am currently using the URS restriction system and I am trying to make a group called minge that will have absolutely nothing. They should not be able to spawn any props or entities and the likes and they should also not be able to use any weapons or tools. I have tried using the wildcard "*" to mass restrict things and it is still not fully restricting the people. They are not able to spawn props but they can use weapons and tools. I was wondering if there is another way that I would be able to restrict all of the weapons for a group or if I am doing it wrong.
