Can user target group?

[end360]

Is there a built in function to see if a specific user can target a group? I actually need to see if they can't. I want to make it so say an operator can't mute an admin but the admin could mute the operator.

In the Manage groups portion of the groups tab, you need to set operator's target to !%admin

Yes i know that, but I need a way in lua to tell if the specific user can target a group. It's for a mute list in VGUI and I don't want a guest/member to be able to mute an admin but at the same time to allow the admin to mute them. (All clientside)

Use an if statement.

Code: Lua

1. if ply:IsAdmin then
2.      return
3. else
4.      (your mute function)
5. end

Caustic Soda-sanpai, I really think they're wanting more specific than just if they are an admin.

End360, check out ULib docs.
ULib - getGroupCanTarget
Check out the docs for other functions.
We have functions that will return a players specific group, and we have commands that will return true if inheritance chain matches below.

I just assumed he wanted an admin check since he asked

I don't want a guest/member to be able to mute an admin but at the same time to allow the admin to mute them.

I noticed the getGroupCanTarget, but it returns it as the !%admin and stuff, is there any way i can convert that into a list of ranks or should i just compare it against a table of ranks? The IsAdmin wont work because some of the groups dont inherit from an admin group.

Disable the mute command for guest/member/user. Just remove the permission
Keep the mute command permission for admin.

Now I believe that the user cannot mute anyone, only admins can.

The best way to do this is just having the panel run a ULX command. This will handle all the targeting for you, so you don't have to copy ULib's code for same purpose.
