Running IsAdmin() on RCon (or something similar)?

[VladimirMurphy]

I downloaded [url=http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=62671]this awesome Ravebreak script[/url], and tried to run it though RCon with HLSW.

I get this Lua error:

20:14:28 autorun/rave.lua:18: attempt to call method 'IsAdmin' (a nil value)

So I looked at it, and saw that the script was trying to check if RCon was an admin.
Now, I'm not very good at Lua, but even I know the problem here.

[lua]
function RaveCommand( pl, cmd, args )
if pl:IsAdmin() then
if not Raving then
RaveBreak()
else
pl:ChatPrint("You're already raving dude!")
end
end
end
[/lua]

Is there a way to recode this function so that the console command works with RCon?

I think ply:IsValid() returns false if you're in RCON

[QUOTE=iRzilla;19097882]You shouldn't really be adding these checks to see if it's RCON as it can be exploited by calling commands before the player has loaded. But this script couldn't cause much harm.

[lua]
function RaveCommand( pl, cmd, args )
if !pl:IsValid() | pl:IsValid() & pl:IsAdmin() then
if not Raving then
RaveBreak()
else
pl:ChatPrint("You're already raving dude!")
end
end
end
[/lua]

Should work I suppose.[/QUOTE]

I think you meant to write || and && not | and &.

Is there any way to check if they have the proper rcon password, and then go ahead and allow the rest of the function to run?
