Let me get this straight... You OPENLY acknowledge that Bite That Apple already did this; THEN you attempt to attach a copyright to it claiming it as yours.

Your code:

Code: Lua

1. local CATEGORY_NAME = "Livaco"
2.  
3. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. --DO NOT EDIT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING OR HAVE A BACKUP OF THE FILE--
5. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.  
7. function ulx.respawn( calling_ply, target_plys, forcespawn )
8.  
9.         local affected_plys = {}
10.         for i=1, #target_plys do
11.                 local v = target_plys[ i ]
12.                 v:Spawn()
13.                 table.insert( affected_plys, v )
14.         end
15.         ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A Respawned #T", affected_plys )
16. end
17. local respawn = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx respawn", ulx.respawn, "!respawn" )
18. respawn:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayersArg }
19. respawn:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
20. respawn:help( "Respawn A Player" )
21.  

Apple's code:

Code: Lua

1. local CATEGORY_NAME = "Apple's Creations"
2.  
3. // Forces a player to respawn
4. function ulx.respawn( calling_ply, target_plys, forcespawn )
5.  
6.         local affected_plys = {}
7.         for i=1, #target_plys do
8.                 local v = target_plys[ i ]
9.                 v:Spawn()
10.                 table.insert( affected_plys, v )
11.         end
12.         ulx.fancyLogAdmin( calling_ply, "#A have force spawned #T", affected_plys )
13. end
14. local respawn = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx respawn", ulx.respawn, "!respawn" )
15. respawn:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayersArg }
16. respawn:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
17. respawn:help( "Forces a player to respawn - !respawn" )

Your code is pretty much a copy/paste of what Apple did, which is pretty hypocritical if you're going to attach a copyright to it.

Do you know what a copyright IS?

Note:
I'm not trying to be rude, but you're posting stuff that already exists..a lot..

I'm not sure if this makes it better or worse, but it doesn't look like he copied it straight from BtA.  Rather, he copied it straight from a ULX tutorial...

(note his comment requesting help from about a month ago).

Livaco... dude...  seriously, think before you do things.  Copying existing material (whether it was the tutorial or Bite's pre-existing addon) and then attaching a copyright and threat about claiming false ownership is just begging people to hammer all over you. I get that you're trying to get your name out there and want to contribute to the community, but you seem to be going about it the wrong way.  Just my $ 0.02.

Figured it was only a matter of time.

[Megiddo]

Anyone else find Livaco's new forums kinda creepy? http://formsadvancedgmod.createaforum.com/index.php

How old is this person, ten? His grammar, spelling, and overall tone all give me jitters.

[MrPresident]

I dunno about creepy.. but its definitely something.

I'll add those "forms" to my favorites for when I need "anay" Advanced Garrysmod "suppot".


Thanks for the entertaining question Megiddo. I wasn't even curious when 'Slamitboy' spammed his forum.

I Knew He Was Of Some Great Intelligence From His First Posts.
