/me is serverwide

[Daniel999]

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my dark rp server that for some reason the /me command can be seen by the whole server.
Can you guys help me please? Thanks.
Bare in mind, I'm pretty newb so if you do help me your instructions are going to have to be exact.

Thankyou

[Megiddo]

First, who do you want it to be seen by?

[Daniel999]

Just the local area like it would normally happen on other servers.
Thanks

[Megiddo]

How large of an area?

[Daniel999]

5-10 meters would do.

[Megiddo]

10 meters is a very short distance, but try this (untested). Replace the me check in modules/chat.lua, which originally is like this:

Code: Lua

1. local function meCheck( ply, strText, bTeam )
2.         if ply.gimp or not ULib.isSandbox() then return end -- Don't mess
3.  
4.         if strText:sub( 1, 4 ) == "/me " then
5.                 strText = string.format( "*** %s %s", ply:Nick(), strText:sub( 5 ) )
6.                 if not bTeam then
7.                         ULib.tsay( _, strText )
8.                 else
9.                         strText = "(TEAM) " .. strText
10.                         local teamid = ply:Team()
11.                         local players = team.GetPlayers( teamid )
12.                         for _, ply2 in ipairs( players ) do
13.                                 ULib.tsay( ply2, strText )
14.                         end
15.                 end
16.  
17.                 if game.IsDedicated() then
18.                         Msg( strText .. "\n" ) -- Log to console
19.                 end
20.                 if util.tobool( GetConVarNumber( "ulx_logChat" ) ) then
21.                         ulx.logString( strText )
22.                 end
23.  
24.                 return ""
25.         end
26. end
27. hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "ULXMeCheck", meCheck, 18 ) -- Extremely low priority

To this:

Code: Lua

1. local meDist = 10
2. local function meCheck( ply, strText, bTeam )
3.         if ply.gimp or not ULib.isSandbox() then return end -- Don't mess
4.  
5.         if strText:sub( 1, 4 ) == "/me " then
6.                 strText = string.format( "*** %s %s", ply:Nick(), strText:sub( 5 ) )
7.                 if not bTeam then
8.                         for _, ply2 in ipairs( player.GetAll() ) do
9.                                 if (ply:GetPos():Distance(ply2:GetPos()) < meDist) then
10.                                         ULib.tsay( ply2, strText )
11.                                 end
12.                         end
13.                 else
14.                         strText = "(TEAM) " .. strText
15.                         local teamid = ply:Team()
16.                         local players = team.GetPlayers( teamid )
17.                         for _, ply2 in ipairs( players ) do
18.                                 if (ply:GetPos():Distance(ply2:GetPos()) < meDist) then
19.                                         ULib.tsay( ply2, strText )
20.                                 end
21.                         end
22.                 end
23.  
24.                 if game.IsDedicated() then
25.                         Msg( strText .. "\n" ) -- Log to console
26.                 end
27.                 if util.tobool( GetConVarNumber( "ulx_logChat" ) ) then
28.                         ulx.logString( strText )
29.                 end
30.  
31.                 return ""
32.         end
33. end
34. hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "ULXMeCheck", meCheck, 18 ) -- Extremely low priority

[Daniel999]

It didn't seem to work.
Did I do it in the right place?

/orangebox/garrysmod/addons/ulx/lua/ulx/modules/sh/chat.lua

[Megiddo]

You should know beyond a shadow of a doubt if you replaced the right code, since it's listed above. What does "it doesn't work" mean?

[Daniel999]

By it didn't work - I mean nothing happened. It just stayed the same.


Example

***Daniel falls over.

Tells the whole server that.

[Megiddo]

You'll need to change maps after making the change.

[MrPresident]

Also, the units returned with entity:Distance(entity) is map units is it not?

If that is the case, 10 meters would be more closely 512 units.

or, you have the line:

Code: [Select]

if ply.gimp or not ULib.isSandbox() then return end -- Don't messWouldn't this return early since the gamemode he is running is DarkRP?

[Daniel999]

I tried changing maps, that didnt work.

I do have this line
if ply.gimp or not ULib.isSandbox() then return end -- Don't mess

Should i remove it?

[Megiddo]

DarkRP is considered Sandbox, if it wasn't, he wouldn't be able to use the "/me" command at all. Not sure why the modification isn't taking effect for you Daniel, sorry. Make sure that you're actually changing the file on the server.

[LuaTenshi]

Why not try doing a find in sphere instead of a GetAll? (In the code above.)
-
Also are you running FAdmin as well and does FAdmin have its own /me command?

[Megiddo]

Why not try doing a find in sphere instead of a GetAll? (In the code above.)

I considered it, but the way I did it above is a much simpler modification.
