[krikus62]

[lua]resource.AddFile("sound/admin_alert.mp3")

if SERVER then
AddCSLuaFile("autorun/admin_alert.lua")

end

function AdminAlert( pl )
if pl:IsUserGroup("owner","admin1","admin2","admin3","admin4") then
for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
v:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTCENTER,"Admin has joined the server!")
v:ConCommand("play admin_alert.mp3")

end
end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "playerInitialSpawn", AdminAlert )
[/lua]
This is a script that I edited and I use, but for some reason it does not work, it doesn't display any errors or anything it just doesn't work.
Please someone help me.

[krikus62]

bump, can anyone explain me what's wrong with it?

[Dynn]

AFAIK you can only use IsUserGroup with a single string argument.

[krikus62]

Alright gonna test it.

EDIT:

Well I changed the code to this:

[lua]resource.AddFile("sound/donator.mp3")

if SERVER then
AddCSLuaFile("autorun/donator_alert.lua")

end

function AdminAlert( pl )
if pl:IsUserGroup("donator") then
for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
v:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTCENTER,"Donator has joined the server!")
v:ConCommand("play donator.mp3")

end
end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "playerInitialSpawn", AdminAlert )[/lua]

It is downloading the sound and everything but still isn't palying or showing the text.

Is play donator.mp3 in the server files where did you put the sound?

[krikus62]

sound is placed in /sounds folder, as it should be, but it isn't showing the text also. Perhaps it isn't finding the group from ulx admin ?

EDIT:

I can play the sound file by using playsound trought ulx menu, so it is downloaded to all players.

There is nothing wrong with pl:IsUserGroup, it is rather HUD_PRINTCENTER. It works well with HUD_PRINTTALK though. Try putting a timer on HUD_PRINTCENTER, see if that works!

The player hasn't loaded completely in on InitialPlayerSpawn, there is something weird about HUD_PRINTCENTER.

[krikus62]

Okay changed the HUD_PRINTCENTER to HUD_PRINTTALK and it fixed the problem, don't know why or how, but it did.

[bmatchett]

Haha strange..

[krikus62]

New problem, since I have more than one usergroup that I want to have the sound, and I couldn't add more than one usergroup, I made separate files.
2 files Owner.lua and Donator.lua

[lua]resource.AddFile("sound/donator.mp3")

if SERVER then
AddCSLuaFile("autorun/donator.lua")

end

function AdminAlert( pl )
if pl:IsUserGroup("donator") then
for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
v:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK,"Donator has joined the server!")
v:ConCommand("play donator.mp3")

end
end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "playerInitialSpawn", AdminAlert )[/lua]
This script is not working. when I join with this group nothing happens.
[lua]resource.AddFile("sound/admin_alert.mp3")

if SERVER then
AddCSLuaFile("autorun/owner.lua")

end

function AdminAlert( pl )
if pl:IsUserGroup("owner") then
for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
v:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK,"Owner has joined the server!")
v:ConCommand("play admin_alert.mp3")

end
end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "playerInitialSpawn", AdminAlert )[/lua]
This script is working, when I join it plays the sound and prints the message.

Is it that I cannot make seperate files for these? Only 1 will work?

Your files are creating what is called 'global' functions. Since they have the same name, only 1 of those functions will exist.
To avoid this, put 'local' in front of your function definition.
[lua]local function AdminAlert( pl ) ............[/lua]

EDIT:
Also, your hooks need unique names, they are both called "playerInitialSpawn"

MOAR EDIT:
This is what it would look like in one file.
[lua]if SERVER then

resource.AddFile("sound/donator.mp3")
resource.AddFile("sound/admin_alert.mp3")

AddCSLuaFile() --by not entering a filename it will just send the current file which is what we want

local function SpecialAlert( pl )
if pl:IsUserGroup("donator") then
for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
v:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK,"Donator has joined the server!")
v:ConCommand("play donator.mp3")
end
elseif pl:IsUserGroup("owner") then
for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
v:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTTALK,"Owner has joined the server!")
v:ConCommand("play admin_alert.mp3")
end
end
end

hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "Check Player Rank on Spawn", SpecialAlert )

end[/lua]

EDIT:
Currently this is all serverside code so i've wrapped it all inside if SERVER, and there is really no need for the AddCSLuaFile().

[krikus62]

Yea I am quite new so I am learning lua slowly. I thought that it might be something the same function, but I didn't think it required such huge edit.

Anyway thank you it is working now perfectly.
