Get group of SteamID

[BigBrainAFK]

Hello,

I have recently scripted some things and now I kind off ran into some problems.
I have to figure out how I can check if a SteamID is in a specific user group.

Is there an ULX or UCL function for this?


//EDIT: I also noticed that every group that has banid or kickid rights is able to ban everyone including people from groups they normally can't target.

Could use ULib's getPlyByID
http://ulyssesmod.net/docs/files/lua/ulib/shared/player-lua.html#getPlyByID

and then GetUserGroup or CheckGroup the ply object.

As for can_target, I don't remember well enough to know if that is by design or something not actually right.
It doesn't sound right, and is likely you have a group inheritance branch issue somewhere.
That question would fit best in another thread.

thx for the quick help and I will definitely open a new thread for the banid / kickid thing cause I checked all can target field nothing wrong there. I also would like to know how inheritance could be the issue of the banid /kickid thing.

I'm going to work on this. I'll post once I have an update for you.

Here is something I put together. It will allow you to return information about a player who is registered in UCL by passing their SteamID, IP, or UID (however they were added to UCL)

Code: Lua

1. --[[
2.         Function: ULib.ucl.getUserInfoFromID
3.  
4.         Returns a table containing the name and group of a player in the UCL table of users if they exist.
5.  
6.         Parameters:
7.  
8.                 id - The SteamID, IP, or UniqueID of the user you wish to check.
9. ]]
10.  
11. function ULib.ucl.getUserInfoFromID( id )
12.        
13.         ULib.checkArg( 1, "ULib.ucl.addUser", "string", id )
14.         id = id:upper() -- In case of steamid, needs to be upper case
15.        
16.         if ucl.users[ id ] then
17.                 return ucl.users[ id ]
18.         else
19.                 return nil
20.         end
21.        
22. end
23.  

Since this returns a table, you would need to do something like this to get a player's group:

ULib.ucl.getUserInfoFromID( "STEAM_0:1:123456" ).group
