[SOLVED] Custom Cvar Sliders in XGUI?

[Zotero]

Hi,
I'm running a TTT server (I know, ew, another TTT fag)
But I was wondering, in the XGUI menu, you know how if you go to settings, and then server, and on the side there's a slider for gravity? (and something else)
I would like to make a slider (or two) just below that, which changes a different cvar (ttt_spec_prop_rechargetime | ttt_spec_prop_force | ttt_spec_prop_base)
Thanks in advance!

Easiest way would be to open ulx/lua/ulx/xgui/settings/server.lua, add the following lines (pretty much a copy of the lines above it) after line 20:

Code: Lua

1. xlib.makelabel{ x=10, y=210+offset, label="ttt_spec_prop_rechargetime", parent=server }
2. xlib.makeslider{ x=10, y=225+offset, label="<--->", w=125, min=0, max=4, decimal=2, repconvar="ttt_spec_prop_rechargetime", parent=server }

For each additional one you add, you'll have to add 45 to the y value, and change the label and then change repconvar to the correct cvar. Also you should set min/max and decimal (number of decimal places) to good values for each one, too.

Note that this will only work if these cvars are 'replicated cvars'-- you can check by testing if you can change these cvars from your CLIENT console. If they're not replicated, you will see a 'Only server owners can change this CVAR' type message, and you'll have to do something to work around that.

Ah, thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. I'll be back with updates.

Yes, it is indeed a server CVAR.
Maybe we could work something out with RCON?

you could just code it as its own command?

by doing something like this but modify it to use a integer instead of a set value

Here is a simple example (untested):

Code: Lua

1. function ulx.proprechargetime( calling_ply, amount )
2.  
3.         RunConsoleCommand("ttt_spec_prop_rechargetime", amount)
4.  
5.         ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A set the prop rechargetime to #i", amount )
6. end
7. local proprechargetime = ulx.command( "TTT CVAR", "ulx proptime", ulx.proprechargetime, "!ptime" )
8. proprechargetime:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.NumArg, min=0, max=10000, default=1000, hint="Prop recharge time", ULib.cmds.optional, ULib.cmds.round }
9. proprechargetime:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
10. proprechargetime:help( "Changes the Prop Recharge Time." )
11.

You could just make it a replicated cvar (as Stickly does for all the default gmod cvars).

Bender180, You are a genius, thank you
Also, I just realized who you are, the creator of the TTT plugins. I'm honored to have you reply!
That plugin code worked, with some slight remodelling. Thank you!

haha, no problem glad it worked for you.
