Custom Commands

[Steev2]

Hey guys so I'm not really getting any errors however the files are just not working, not sure if ulx is overpowering the files or not.

I've added the "Custom-ULX-Commands" from here: [url]https://github.com/jkralicky/Custom-ULX-Commands[/url]

Mainly cause of the watch list presented via table format; [url]https://github.com/jkralicky/Custom-ULX-Commands/blob/master/CustomCommands_onecategory/lua/ulx/modules/sh/cc_util.lua[/url]

Anyone that could know anything on how to get this working ?

Thanks

PS. i am still new at all this and slowly learning it all

Just to be sure, you added the files here 'garrysmod/garrysmod/addons/ULX/lua/ulx/modules/sh' (this could vary). Correct?

[Steev2]

No i didnt think that was i added the "Custom-ULX-Commands" to the "garrysmod/garrysmod/addons" as the other commands work, just not the watchlist

[Steev2]

In chat it appears as: "Steb (STEAM ##) is on watchlist for RDM'ing" When the user joins that is okay, say i want to list the Watchlist and i have several users ? it wont fit in chat...

function ulx.watchlist(calling_ply)
	watchlist = {}
	for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
		if v:GetPData("Watched") == "true" then
			table.insert( watchlist, v:Nick())
			table.insert(watchlist, v:GetPData("WatchReason"))
		end
	end
	local watchstring = table.concat(  watchlist, "," )
	ulx.fancyLogAdmin( nil, true,  "Watchlist: #s ",watchstring )
end
local watchlist = ulx.command("Essentials", "ulx watchlist", ulx.watchlist, "!watchlist",true)
watchlist:defaultAccess( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
watchlist:help( "Prints watch list." )

Trying to get it to lodge like this as a watch list, or if not possible;

List the watchlist in chat ona new line:
Eg.
WatchList
---------
Name1 : Reason
Name2 : Reason
Name3 : Reason

but instead i get this: [IMG]http://prntscr.com/ak93h0[/IMG] ([url]http://prntscr.com/ak93h0[/url])

As you see it's missing 1 player.

Like i said i am still all new to this, any help would be great!! on an easier solution

ulx.fancyLogAdmin is printing watchstring, which is created via table.concat.
table.concat concatenates the contents of a table to a string using the provided "concatenator". You can change the concatenator to your liking (\n adds a new line).

What would the code be tho please?

[QUOTE]
local watchstring = table.concat( watchlist, "," )
ulx.fancyLogAdmin( nil, true, "Watchlist: #s ",watchstring \n )
[/QUOTE]

Would that be right ?

No. This is coding 101, please have a little bit of knowledge if you're gonna post in the Dev section

Ok then, regarding this attempt [lua]ulx.fancyLogAdmin( nil, true, "Watchlist: #s ",watchstring \n )[/lua]
1) \n needs to be inside a string to create a new line
2) The argument "[I]watchstring \n[/I]" is invalid, it'll return a ") expected near" error
2) *A function takes in arguments, that are seperated via commas. Writing two arguments with no comma in between will always result in an error
3) Since I said this: [QUOTE=JasonMan34;50038891]table.concat concatenates the contents of a table to a string using the provided "concatenator". You can change the concatenator to your liking (\n adds a new line).[/QUOTE] I have no idea why you even edited fancyLogAdmin, that has nothing to do with what I said. Instead, edit the concatenator in table.concat
