Ulx Custom Command for user groups

[proxzei]

Does anyone know hot to make a ulx command where by typing !vip a user would be added to that group. Just !vip though.

[JamminR]

Yes.
Many here know how.
What particular challenge are you having with it?

[proxzei]

Uh, I don't know how to do it at all and would like the code if thats possible.

it's basically a shortened version of ulx adduser.

so you basically want to write the command that gets called on !vip which runs the function to add the calling player to "vip".

RunConsoleCommand("ulx","adduser",calling_ply,"vip")

It doesn't seem like this person knows how to code at all, so that won't be very helpful. I'm usually against just giving people code because it's much better if you learn how to code yourself, but I'll make an exception because this is so simple.

This command is used like "!vip <player>".

Code: Lua

1. local CATEGORY_NAME = "Utility" --the category the command will be located under in the XGUI menu (!menu)
2.  
3. function ulx.givevip( calling_ply, target_ply )
4.   RunConsoleCommand( "ulx", "adduser", target_ply, "vip" ) --runs the command "ulx adduser <player> vip" in console
5. end
6. local givevip = ulx.command( CATEGORY_NAME, "ulx vip", ulx.givevip, "!vip" ) --tells ULX to create this command and gives it the corresponding console and chat commands, in addition to the category it should be in
7. givevip:addParam{ type=ULib.cmds.PlayerArg } --adds a player argument to the command
8. givevip:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_SUPERADMIN ) --the default group that can access the command
9. givevip:help( "Sets the targeted player's group to vip." )

Edit:

Whoops, forgot to tell you where to put this. I suggest you create a new addon (just a new folder in 'garrysmod/addons/') and put this file in '<addonname>/lua/ulx/modules/sh'

The reason it's so simple is why i didn't just dump code.

Eh, I just did it because it didn't take me much effort. If I were 100% true to my philosophy I wouldn't give anyone code without them attempting it first, but every once in a while you have to break.

Reading my post again it seems I may have sounded a bit rude... I didn't mean to insult you for trying to help, I just wanted to point out that it likely wouldn't be very useful to someone who doesn't know how to code.

No insult taken, you'd have to try a lot harder
