A hook for custom pieces. (Default Pieces: *, ^, $)

[LuaTenshi]

I would like to see the ability for people to add custom "pieces" into ULX, for their own targeting methods.

https://github.com/Nayruden/Ulysses/pull/332


Added a hook to allow custom pieces within ULib.getUsers. Lines: 219 - 223

Here is a quick example...

Code: Lua

1. hook.Add("ulx_custompiece", "__j", function(ply, p)
2.         if p:sub( 1, 1 ) == "&" then
3.                 local uSel = ply._ulxSelection
4.                 if uSel and type(uSel) == "table" and #uSel >= 1 then
5.                         local tab = {}
6.                         for _,v in next, ply._ulxSelection do
7.                                 if IsValid(v) and v:IsPlayer() then
8.                                         table.insert(tab, v)
9.                                 end
10.                         end
11.                         return tab -- Notice how we are returning the built table here.
12.                 else
13.                         return nil
14.                 end
15.         end
16. end)

This is a good idea, I like it.

This is a very interesting feature- I'll have test it out myself and run the idea past Megiddo.
