Get users in group

[duckboy424]

Hey, I'm trying to make it so that you can open up a menu and it has a list of all the players a user group called test. I would like to use DListView, if that is possible. Thanks for any type of assistance.

If you already know how to get them to show, I'm assuming you do by how you asked, but you could use

Code: Lua

1. for k,v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
2.     if v:GetUserGroup( "test" ) then
3.         table.insert( someTable, v )
4.     end
5. end
6.  

Just an example.

That's not what I was really looking for. I need to be able to get the names of all the players in a certain group and put it on a vgui menu. Players that aren't online as well, not just players that are on the server.

All group info is in the "ULib.ucl" table - You'd need to either cycle through or print table it to get the info, but I'm pretty sure it loads players in memory who aren't even connected.
Once you found the table key name, you could just cycle through it.

Yeah sorry, it was late for me when I posted that, should've clarified to see what you meant. Like JamminR said, I know there is something that the default ulx motd uses that displays people who are in the user group even if they're not connected at the bottom, or something like that - sorry can't really remember - but you could probably use something like that. I'm not quite sure how ULib.ucl works, so I probably couldn't help there but it's probably the easiest way to do this.

[JamminR]

More specifically, ULib.ucl.users has the info for each player you have stored using ULib.

(not real code, and I've not actually programmed in lua in years, so forgive me if my table-loop-fu is off, but you should get the general idea)

Code: [Select]

for i, kn in pairs(ULib.ucl.users) do
    testit = ULib.ucl.users[i]
    if lower(testit["group"]) == lower("<group you are looking for>")
        table.insert ( names, testit["name"] )
    end
end
-- now do vgui stuff with your table of "names"

So if that's how you would use it, Lua (or at least gLua) uses string.lower, instead of just "lower".
