Friends Checker - Garry's Mod

Hey there, I made a small ulx command that i wanted to share. It allows users to check if a players has any friends in the server, by cross checking his friendslist against online players. Very useful for verifying if people are ghosting in TTT. [URL]https://www.dropbox.com/s/t4cc94rtzo405jc/CheckFriends.zip[/URL] Just drop it in your garrysmod/addons folder to use it, type "ulx checkfriends name" in the console. Have fun, zeroZshadow

Why are people voting this dumb? Is it somehow a virus or a harmful addon to your server..?

You can bet that those people who rated this thread dumb didn't even download the addon at all. Anyway, nice work and thanks for sharing!

Welcome to facepunch, town of uninformed hooligans. Solid release! Looks like it could be useful!

Don't worry, being rated dumb means you have been accepted into the community, unless what you said was actually stupid. Anyways, I think this addon will make many admins life far easier

Every newcomer gets boxed in.

Nice addition for TTT servers, thanks for sharing this.

[QUOTE=EvacX;41797738]Because he signed his post and [B]mispelled[/B] "useful".[/QUOTE] You misspelled misspelled.

[QUOTE=t h e;41800825]You misspelled misspelled.[/QUOTE] That's not the point though, I just explained why OP was getting dumb ratings.

[QUOTE=EvacX;41801355]That's not the point though, I just explained why OP was getting dumb ratings.[/QUOTE] Doesn't really justify it though. Oh, he misspelled "useful" guess we better deem his entire post as dumb. Oh, he signed his name guess his entire post is dumb. When you rate an addon release dumb you're getting that either OP is dumb or the addon is dumb. Making one typo and signing your name doesn't warrant either of these.

I have tested it and its a great little command. thanks!

Does signing every post in your avatar count?

[QUOTE=EvacX;41807967]I also wasn't justifying it, again, I explained why.[/QUOTE] And I wasn't saying you were justifying it, I was explaining why that reason didn't justify it.

Nice and original idea! Alough I think it might be simplified dramatically, use [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/GetFriendStatus[/url] instead of the steam API. As far as I know it can bypass private profiles too

[QUOTE=MDave;41809027]As far as I know it can bypass private profiles too[/QUOTE] It does

Its just a small thing i made for a server i work on. Like it or dont, i just figured i'd make a few people happy by releasing here. About GetFriendStatus, this seems to return relationship status of player with local player. So that wouldn't work as i need the relation between 2 players in the server. (have the script only tell me wich on my friends are ingame makes it rather useless)

You could request the player to network their friends back to the admin requesting the relationships.

But thats more coding and sending code to clients, i rather keep it server side
