Stupidest question

[Unknown Gamer]

Hi,

So I found a server hopper. Works great! (I know how to make one sorta, don't know how to fetch map logo) anyway, It works great except, it only comes with a console command. So I made a ULX command and it doesn't work. All it is supposed to do is a simple RunConsoleCommand. Though it does not work!

It appears in  ULX menu but when I run the command, it does nothing! Any help?

Code: Lua

1. local CATEGORY_NAME = "BDG TTTs"
2.  
3. function ulx.hopper()
4.         RunConsoleCommand('serverhopping')
5. end
6.  
7. local hopper = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx hopper", ulx.hopper, "!hop", true )
8. hopper:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ALL )
9. hopper:help( "Swith to a different server." )

As far as I know, you can't do that. You're calling that on the server, not the client.
It's probably inefficient, but the way I did it was as follows:

Code: Lua

1. if SERVER then
2.     util.AddNetworkString("cl_openserverhoppermenu") -- long name to prevent conflicts
3. end
4.  
5. if CLIENT then
6.     net.Receive("cl_openserverhoppermenu",
7.     function (ply)
8.         RunConsoleCommand("serverhopping")
9.     end)
10. end
11.  
12. function ulx.hopper(calling_ply)
13.     net.Start("cl_openserverhoppermenu")
14.     net.Send(calling_ply)
15. end
16.  
17. -- code to add command to ulx here

I remember doing this once. Though it was like 3 months ago. I do not remember needing to setup networks. Ill give it a try though!

It works! Thanks man! IDK why I need to use networks now but ya!

ULX commands may be shared, but they only run serverside.  That's why your version wouldn't work.  You were basically telling the server to run the command.

You could also use this and you wouldn't have to use all the net library stuff.
