ply:isUserGroup advice

[Aaron113]

FINAL VERSION... I promise lol

Code: Lua

1. local convar = CreateConVar("server_mode", "0", FCVAR_ARCHIVE)  -- Basically creates a console command that saves between maps
2.  
3. local whitelisted_groups = {} -- table for whitelisted groups
4.  
5. gameevent.Listen( "player_connect" ) -- Hooks into the engine's code if I'm not mistaken  (I don't fully understand how it works)
6.  
7.  
8. hook.Add( "player_connect", "player_whitelist", function( data )  -- Lets us hook into the even we're listening too up there ^^
9.         if convar:GetInt() == 1 then -- if server_mode is equal to 1
10.                 local steamid = data.networkid -- this is the steamid from the data we got from the hook
11.                 local userid = data.userid
12.                 local group = ULib.ucl.getUserInfoFromID(steamid).group -- new ULib function to check user info by steamid
13.                 if not table.HasValue(whitelisted_groups, group) then -- checks if the group is not in your server whitelist
14.                         RunConsoleCommand("kickid", userid, "YOU NO ALLOWED!!!!! D:")  
15.                 end
16.         end
17. end )

EDIT:  This would make a nice addon in the releases section.  Which is exactly what you want it for?

That is my bad, I didn't fully test it.

Code: [Select]

local convar = CreateConVar("server_mode", "0", FCVAR_ARCHIVE)  -- Basically creates a console command that saves between maps

local whitelisted_groups = {} -- table for whitelisted groups

gameevent.Listen( "player_connect" ) -- Hooks into the engine's code if I'm not mistaken  (I don't fully understand how it works)


hook.Add( "player_connect", "player_whitelist", function( data )  -- Lets us hook into the even we're listening too up there ^^
if convar:GetInt() == 1 then -- if server_mode is equal to 1
local steamid = data.networkid -- this is the steamid from the data we got from the hook
local userid = data.userid
local group = ULib.ucl.getUserInfoFromID(steamid) -- new ULib function to check user info by steamid
if not table.HasValue(whitelisted_groups, group.group) then -- checks if the group is not in your server whitelist
RunConsoleCommand("kickid", userid, "ENTER YOUR MESSAGE HERE")   
end
end
end )
EDIT:  Ignore me, now I'm doing something else wrong now.... I need to pay closer attention.

EDIT2:  Should be fixed again.

Okay thanks, so if I wanted to give messages to people who ARE in the group, it would be

Code: Lua

1.                 if not table.HasValue(whitelisted_groups, group.group) then -- checks if the group is not in your server whitelist
2.                         RunConsoleCommand("kickid", userid, "ENTER YOUR MESSAGE HERE")  
3. else
4. ply:PrintMessage("bleh")
5. end
6.                 end

Oh and btw, I don't really feel good uploading this and claiming it as my own lol, considering basically 100% of this is yours... I would however put it on my server, and put it on releases and give you 100% credit.

AND... to make the ulx command to change the cvar, it would basically be

Code: Lua

1. function ulx.servermode ( ply )
2. game.ConsoleCommand("server_mode 1")
3. end

then the rest of the normal ulx stuff right? and that would automatically make it switch right?

No, this is catching people as soon as they connect to the server.  Meaning at the loading screen.  If you want to print a message to them, you would have to wait for them to spawn and put it in some PlayerSpawn hook.

I guess if you give me credit and make sure the addon works fine, I could care less.

1. function ulx.servermode ( ply )
2. game.ConsoleCommand("server_mode 1")
3. end

That should work, it just won't kick anyone who is currently in the server out and it will not change the name of the server or anything.

According to the gmod wiki, (I have no clue what player_connect is either but..) data.networkid is not steamid, but unique ID. I could be completely wrong, I think I have seen Garry call it a unique id to be steam id before in the past.

According to the gmod wiki, (I have no clue what player_connect is either but..) data.networkid is not steamid, but unique ID. So, not sure how you're getting that to work as a Steam ID.

I don't think so, it worked just fine in the last version I gave.  I guess I would have to double check, but I'm pretty confident that it is steamid seeing as it worked.

Yeah, I think I had made a mistake. I didn't finish reading the wiki.

Local steamid = data.networkid // Same as Player: Unique ID ()
Local id = data.userid // Same as Player: UserID ()

With that in mind though, what function in ulib allows ulib to search in the users.txt for if a player exists in it, and then grab the group data, if that's possible? Because if what I'm thinking is possible, I could fix my player joined announcement script to actually show colour for players who are connected.

MrPresident recently added this to ULib.  I believe you could possibly fetch uteam's colors for groups after that.

EDIT:  Keep in mind that my code on first post of page will error if the user doesn't exist.  I figured whoever uses it can figure that out.

Alright, thanks. I'll check it out and see if I can get something to get working. I'll post on my own favorite thread (Questions, Questions, Questions! thread) if I have any issues.
