ULX Jail Reason.

[Greenlight7]

When I jail someone ingame, I type !jail <player> <seconds> <reason>
But it only shows <me> jailed <player> for <seconds>.

I want it to say <me> jailed <player> for <seconds> (<reason>) .

This is the lua code:

I tried doing it and had some help. Still havent got it to work.

You'll find that most developers won't respond to "do it for me" requests. Do some basic research and try making it work on your own. Tell us what you tried and show us your best attempt.

No promises this will work

Thats the best I could come up with.

Ingame it shows: Usage: !jail <name> <seconds> [{reason}]
but it doesnt work sadly

Didnt work sadly, thanks though

ulx.fancyLogAdmin is where the log string is being generated. You'll need to pass the reason in there. #s is equivalent to %s in string.format.

[bender180]

always forget that part lol even with my own commands I would do it. anyway,

again not tested but should work now

Code: Lua

1.     ------------------------------ Jail ------------------------------
2.     local doJail
3.     local jailableArea
4.     function ulx.jail( calling_ply, target_plys, seconds, should_unjail, reason )
5.     local affected_plys = {}
6.     for i=1, #target_plys do
7.     local v = target_plys[ i ]
8.      
9.     if not should_unjail then
10.     if ulx.getExclusive( v, calling_ply ) then
11.     ULib.tsayError( calling_ply, ulx.getExclusive( v, calling_ply ), true )
12.     elseif not jailableArea( v:GetPos() ) then
13.     ULib.tsayError( calling_ply, v:Nick() .. " is not in an area where a jail can be placed!", true )
14.     else
15.     doJail( v, seconds )
16.      
17.     table.insert( affected_plys, v )
18.     end
19.     elseif v.jail then
20.     v.jail.unjail()
21.     v.jail = nil
22.     table.insert( affected_plys, v )
23.     end
24.     end
25.      
26.     if not should_unjail then
27.     local str = "#A jailed #T (#s)"
28.     if seconds > 0 then
29.     str = str .. " for #i seconds. (#s)"
30.     end
31.     ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, str, affected_plys, seconds, reason )
32.     else
33.     ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A unjailed #T", affected_plys )
34.     end
35.     end
36.     local jail = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx jail", ulx.jail, "!jail" )
37.     jail:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayersArg }
38.     jail:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.NumArg, min=0, default=0, hint="seconds, 0 is forever", ULib.cmds.round, ULib.cmds.optional }
39.     jail:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.StringArg, hint="reason", ULib.cmds.optional, ULib.cmds.takeRestOfLine }
40.     jail:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.BoolArg, invisible=true }
41.     jail:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
42.     jail:help( "Jails target(s)." )
43.     jail:setOpposite( "ulx unjail", {_, _, _, true}, "!unjail" )

should_unjail and reason need to be flipped on the function argument list, but this is getting closer.
