Pulling user groups

[Munch1431]

Hello,

So I'm new to lua and derma. I'm still learning. I've been trying to follow wikis and have had no luck. I'm trying to pull user groups. Here is what I mean (probably really simple for most of you).

If the user is the rank superadmin then they can use the chat command !admin which opens a plain DFrame.

Hopefully you can help, thanks Munch

Ok, yeah I understand what you mean. Here is my basic derma. Currently F4 opens the dframe which is empty. I want to convert it so, it's a chat command, which for the time being can be !test. It must only open if the user is in the group SuperAdmin.

Ok, that helped and I made into a chat command. However this chat command can be used by any group. How do I make it so only if the user is superadmin will the command work.

Just check if the player calling the chat command is an admin like so

[lua]
if CLIENT then
usermessage.Hook( "Openpls", function()
local base = vgui.Create( 'DFrame' )
base:SetSize( 1280, 720 )
base:Center()
base:ShowCloseButton( true )
base:MakePopup()
end )
end

if SERVER then
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "Openpls", function( ply, text, public )
text = string.lower( text )
if ( string.sub( text, 1, 5 ) == "!test" and ply:IsAdmin() ) then -- will only run if the player is an admin.
umsg.Start( "Openpls", ply )
umsg.End()
end
end )
end
[/lua]

Also, it's a good idea to use string.sub for checking chat commands.

How would I make it so if the user isn't in the groups defined, which is superadmin and admin (i added) it would print in chat a message?

[James]

[lua] hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "Openpls", function( ply, text, public )

if ( not ply:IsAdmin() ) then
ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Oh noes! You aren't an admin!" )
return
end

if ( string.sub( string.lower( text ), 1, 5 ) == "!test" ) then -- will only run if the player is an admin.
umsg.Start( "Openpls", ply )
umsg.End()
end

end )
[/lua]

The return stops the rest of the code from running, if the player isn't admin.

How would I broadcast my DPanel. Here is my code:

[LUA]
if CLIENT then
usermessage.Hook( "Openpls", function()
local base = vgui.Create( 'DFrame' )
base:SetSize( 300, 120 )
base:SetTitle( "Cease Fire" )
base:Center()
base:ShowCloseButton( true )
base:MakePopup()
base:SetDraggable( false )

function base:Paint( w, h )
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, Color( 18, 18, 18, 250 ) )
end

local mess = vgui.Create( 'DPanel' )
mess:SetSize( 400, 100 )
mess:SetPos( 20, 20 )
mess:SetVisible( false )
mess:MakePopup()

function mess:Paint( w, h )
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 0, w, h, Color( 18, 18, 18, 150 ) )
end
[/LUA]

Where I create the DPanel mess. By default it isn't visible. Essentially when someone clicks a button it sets the visibility to true but this only happens to the client. When the button is clicked to set it visible I want every connected player to see it.
