[ULX hates me]Help with a command AGAIN AGAIN

[XxLMM13xX]

Hello! i have made my own command that tp's a player to a sit ( or any selected location ) and it is not doing the tsay and its not in the ulx menu...

Here is the code/addon that i have...


Hope you can help THANKS

Im not a lua coder. As a matter of fact I suck. However what I do to fix problems where there isnt a direct fix is look at other scripts. For example, I was having trouble with a script so I looked at another script and borrowed some of the code and put it where I needed it and it fixed my problem.

So go in teleport.lua and chat.lua and look at how they have there chat thing is set up and try to work off that.

[XxLMM13xX]

Thats the bad thing.... I copied the teleport command and worked on it lol and it STILL does not work ;( wanna take a look?

[JabbaTheWut]

Sure. the only reason I do that is because I dont know how to make code all that well. I can understand whats going on but thats it

[XxLMM13xX]

So you cant help me... lol its ok thanks for the ( somewhat ) help

[Bite That Apple]

Alright, don't take this the wrong way. It's not ULX that hates you, it's your lua that hates you. Secondly, I don't understand what you're trying to do!?

What is a "sit"??

What does it even do, people need descriptions??

What exactly doesn't work??

Are there any errors??

Your code without the beginning comments:

Code: Lua

1. vector1         =       83.237251
2. vector2         =       -414.578888
3. vector3         =       -12223.580078
4. angle1          =       1.759990
5. angle2          =       150.339874
6. angle3          =       0.000000
7.  
8. function ulx.sit( calling_ply, target_ply )
9.  
10.  
11. --local vector = "2199.119385, -1950.238281, -12735.968750"                 --this is where you put the vector
12. --local angle = "12.319997, -40.999668, 0.000000"                           --this is where you put the angle
13.  
14.  
15.         if not calling_ply:IsValid() then
16.                 Msg( "You are the console, you can't teleport or teleport others since you can't see the world!\n" )
17.                 return
18.         end
19.  
20.         if ulx.getExclusive( target_ply, calling_ply ) then
21.                 ULib.tsayError( calling_ply, ulx.getExclusive( target_ply, calling_ply ), true )
22.                 return
23.         end
24.  
25.         if not target_ply:Alive() then
26.                 ULib.tsayError( calling_ply, target_ply:Nick() .. " is dead!", true )
27.                 return
28.         end
29.  
30.         local t = {}
31. --      t.start = calling_ply:GetPos() + Vector( 0, 0, 32 ) -- Move them up a bit so they can travel across the ground
32.         t.endpos = calling_ply:GetPos() + calling_ply:EyeAngles():Forward() * 16384
33.         t.filter = target_ply
34.         if target_ply ~= calling_ply then
35.                 t.filter = { target_ply, calling_ply }
36.         end
37.         local tr = util.TraceEntity( t, target_ply )
38.  
39. --[[   
40.         if target_ply == calling_ply and pos:Distance( target_ply:GetPos() ) < 64 then -- Laughable distance
41.                 return
42.         end
43. ]]
44.         if target_ply:InVehicle() then
45.                 target_ply:ExitVehicle()
46.         end
47.  
48.         target_ply:SetPos( Vector( vector1, vector2, vector3 ) )
49.         target_ply:SetPos( Angle( angle1, angle2, angle3 ) )
50.  
51.         target_ply:SetLocalVelocity( Vector( 0, 0, 0 ) ) -- Stop!
52.  
53.         if target_ply ~= calling_ply then
54.                 ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A teleported #T to the sit", target_ply ) -- We don't want to log otherwise
55.         end
56. end
57. local sitc = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx sit", ulx.sit, {"!sit"} )
58. sitc:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayerArg, ULib.cmds.optional }
59. sitc:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
60. sitc:help( "Teleports target to a sit." )
61.  

Question 1: Why is it not appearing in the ULX menu?
Answer: Look at Line 57 in your code:

Code: [Select]

57. local sitc = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx sit", ulx.sit, {"!sit"} )
You are making the ULX Function call "CATEGORY_NAME" but nowhere have you defined the actual category name. To fix this, put at the top of your actual code:

Code: Lua

1. local CATEGORY_NAME = "Sit"

Question 2: Please elaborate as to which tsay it is not calling.

[XxLMM13xX]

When I type !sit <name> it works but it does not say player teleported player to sit

[Caustic Soda-Senpai]

Oh you mean the FancyLog. Remove the if statement at the end.

[Bite That Apple]

I'll look at this tomorrow, see if I can help if I'm not busy, or this isn't answered yet. Though to be honest, I'd just comment out FanceLog "things", even me who makes ulx modules doesn't even really understand this.

[XxLMM13xX]

If I remove the fancy log won't that get rid of the whole thing? ( get rid of the tsay )
All i want is when the command is used the chat says so..

Thanks for all the help so far guys!

[JabbaTheWut]

Also FYI !return doesnt work with this.

[XxLMM13xX]

What do you mean? return is not a thing i wanted to do.... i just want it to say in chat that i teleported someone to a sit...

[JamminR]

What do you mean?

He's saying that if you force someone to sit, and then later want to return them (or they want to return), ulx return command doesn't work.
But, take one challenge at a time.

[XxLMM13xX]

Ok this is frustrating because i'm trying to make it say <caller> teleported <target> ti the sit. And it wint work... HELP!!!! And how would I do the return...
