I can't remember how to ULX, someone give me a hand?

[MagisterMortalis]

I can only do the basics now, it's been a long time since I last coded with LUA and haven't touched ulx for a very long time.
The thing I'm trying to code would be really simple, but I'm clearly missing something and once it's pointed out to me, I will feel really stupid because it's very simple.

I'm trying to create a command, when you use it on someone it says in chat "Person has poked SomeDude." I've got most of the basics down, with the targeting, but I can't seem to figure out how to make fancyLog to display in chat.

Someone lead me in the correct direction, I have no idea what to put in the code to make this work, my knowledge is gone, please.

Code: Lua

1. function ulx.test( calling_ply, target_ply )
2.  
3.         ulx.fancyLog( calling_ply, "#A tested a command on #T", target_plys )
4. end
5. local test = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx test", ulx.test, "!test" )
6. test:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayerArg, target="!^", ULib.cmds.ignoreCanTarget }
7. test:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
8. test:help( "daw dawd aw" )
9.  

A little more info, I have no idea if I use fancyLogAdmin, or fancyLog. I need to learn to do this again.

idk about your fancylog or fancylogadmin problem

But I know on line 3 of that you're trying to use target_plys even though on line 1 you called the variable target_ply
That might be why it's not showing up in chat

Let me try that now, thanks for pointing that out.
Edit: Nope, that's a shame, still not working.

For the example code you've shown, besides fixing the variable name, you want the fancyLogAdmin.
Also, make sure you're defining CATEGORY_NAME in your command object setup somewhere else in your file or you can change it at that spot.
fancLogAdmin allows for a "optional" 2nd parameter, a boolean, that if not present, defaults to false.

ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, true, "#A tested a command on #T", target_ply )
would HIDE from players (except admins with see echo access)
ulx.fancyLog( calling_ply, "#A tested a command on #T", target_ply )
would not hide from players

Error's your getting would be helpful to us in helping you.

I'm getting no errors, as the code is all correct, just it's not showing anything in chat.

Edit: as you said, fancyLogAdmin works, but is silent. Is there some kind of different format I need to follow for fancyLog?

[Megiddo]

Use ulx.fancyLogAdmin. As you have it now, it's only echoing to the calling_ply. Make sure you're checking the ULX log files too, they may help you figure out what's going on.

Just checked the ULX log files, nothing. What would I have to do to make it echo to all? calling_ply, true? Sorry for being such a newb.

[Megiddo]

Pass it nil for the first argument. Are you using ulx.fancyLogAdmin?

[MagisterMortalis]

fancyLogAdmin, yes. Pass what nil? O.O

[JamminR]

Replace the first parameter, calling_ply, with nil (any var, such as _, that isn't defined)

There are plenty of examples of how it's used different ways within our codebase.
Simply have to search our github repo.
