Colour staff chat(asay) ?

[Dog]

So I change asay to make it a chat for staff members only, is there a way to colour it differently?

Code: Lua

1. function ulx.asay( calling_ply, message )
2.         local format
3.         local me = "/me "
4.         local nothing = ""
5.         if message:sub( 1, me:len() ) == me then
6.                 format = "(Staff)   #P: #s"
7.                 message = message:sub( me:len() + 1 )
8.         elseif message:sub(  1, nothing:len() ) then
9.                 --format = "#P to admins: #s"
10.                 format = "(Staff)   #P: #s"
11.                 message = message:sub( nothing:len() + 1 )
12.         end
13.  
14.         local players = player.GetAll()
15.         for i=#players, 1, -1 do
16.                 local v = players[ i ]
17.                 if not ULib.ucl.query( v, seeasayAccess ) and v ~= calling_ply then -- Calling player always gets to see the echo
18.                         table.remove( players, i )
19.                 end
20.         end
21.  
22.         ulx.fancyLog( players, format, calling_ply, message )
23. end
24. local asay = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx asay", ulx.asay, "#", true, true )
25. asay:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.StringArg, hint="message", ULib.cmds.takeRestOfLine }
26. asay:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
27. asay:help( "Staff chat." )

Easiest way would be to change the table.insert to use this on each player instead...

I don't really understand how to change the table.insert to use tsaycolor, if you can help me or at least guide me how to do use it that'd be great.

[Aaron113]

The very basic idea....

Code: Lua

1. ULib.tsayColor(v, false, Color(255, 0, 0), "(ADMIN) ", Color(0, 0, 0), "NAME: ", Color(0, 255, 0), message)

So my code's like this(works)

Code: Lua

1. function ulx.asay( calling_ply, message )
2.         local format
3.         local nothing = ""
4.                 local owner = Color(255,74,2)
5.                 local super = Color(122,0,0)
6.                 local admin = Color(116,173,0)
7.                 local mod = Color(68,90,251)
8.                 local dev = Color(0,255,255)
9.                
10.                 message = message:sub( nothing:len() + 1 )
11.                 if calling_ply:IsUserGroup("Special") or calling_ply:IsUserGroup("disguiseowner") or calling_ply:IsUserGroup("vipdisguise") then
12.                         ULib.tsayColor(v, false, Color(255, 255, 255), "[", Color(255, 0, 0), "STAFF", Color(255,255,255), "] ", owner ,  "(Owner) ", team.GetColor(calling_ply:Team()), calling_ply:GetName(), Color(255,255,255) , ": " ,  Color(128, 128, 128), message)
13.                 elseif calling_ply:IsUserGroup("superadmin") or calling_ply:IsUserGroup("disguisesuper") then
14.                         ULib.tsayColor(v, false, Color(255, 255, 255), "[", Color(255, 0, 0), "STAFF", Color(255,255,255), "] ", super , "(Super)  " ,team.GetColor(calling_ply:Team()), calling_ply:GetName(), Color(255,255,255) , ":" ,  Color(128, 128, 128), message)
15.                 elseif calling_ply:IsUserGroup("admin") or calling_ply:IsUserGroup("disguiseadmin") then
16.                         ULib.tsayColor(v, false, Color(255, 255, 255), "[", Color(255, 0, 0), "STAFF", Color(255,255,255), "] ", admin , "(Admin)  " ,team.GetColor(calling_ply:Team()), calling_ply:GetName(), Color(255,255,255) , ":" ,  Color(128, 128, 128), message)
17.                 elseif calling_ply:IsUserGroup("mod") or calling_ply:IsUserGroup("disguisemod") then
18.                         ULib.tsayColor(v, false, Color(255, 255, 255), "[", Color(255, 0, 0), "STAFF", Color(255,255,255), "] ", mod , "(Mod)    " ,team.GetColor(calling_ply:Team()), calling_ply:GetName(), Color(255,255,255) , ":" ,  Color(128, 128, 128), message)
19.                 elseif calling_ply:IsUserGroup("dev") then
20.                         ULib.tsayColor(v, false, Color(255, 255, 255), "[", Color(255, 0, 0), "STAFF", Color(255,255,255), "] ", dev , "(Dev)     " ,team.GetColor(calling_ply:Team()), calling_ply:GetName(), Color(255,255,255) , ":" ,  Color(128, 128, 128), message)
21.                 end
22.  
23.         local players = player.GetAll()
24.         for i=#players, 1, -1 do
25.                 local v = players[ i ]
26.                 if not ULib.ucl.query( v, seeasayAccess ) and v ~= calling_ply then -- Calling player always gets to see the echo
27.                         table.remove( players, i )
28.                 end
29.         end
30.  
31.         ulx.fancyLog( players, format, calling_ply, message )
32. end
33. local asay = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx asay", ulx.asay, "#", true, true )
34. asay:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.StringArg, hint="message", ULib.cmds.takeRestOfLine }
35. asay:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
36. asay:help( "Staff chat." )

But I get an error everytime someone uses it

Code: Lua

1. addons/ulx/lua/ulx/log.lua:450: attempt to index local 'format' (a nil value)

How do I fix this?
