SteamID64 of my Data (player connect)... Need conversion ?

[Naografix]

Hey !

I have a problem in my code, i want to return the game time on gmod of the player connected, i made this :

if SERVER then

    gameevent.Listen( "player_connect" )
    
    hook.Add( "player_connect", "AnnounceConnection", function( data )
        
        for k,v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
            SteamID = data:SteamID64()
            
            http.Fetch( "http://api.steampowered.com/IPlayerService/GetOwnedGames/v0001/?key="..Key.."&format=json&input_json={%22appids_filter%22:[4000],%22steamid%22:"..SteamID.."}",
                function( body, len, headers, code )
                    TableJson = util.JSONToTable(body)
                    ForeverTime = TableJson.response.games[1].playtime_forever
                    RunConsoleCommand("say",ForeverTime/60)
                end
            )
            break
        end
end )

It's broken because DATA:STEAMID64 doesnt work, because the steamID64 need a player entity, not a data.
And my http.Fetch, need a STEAMID in 64 bit...
How i can convert the steamID of my data in 64 bits ?

Thx

That's not how it works. [i]data[/i] is a table containing informations about the player and not a player object (as he didn't connect yet), therefore it should be data.steamid and not data:SteamID64(). But it's not a 64bit steamid, so you should use [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/CheckPassword"]CheckPassword[/URL] instead.

Well you could just do this...

if SERVER then

    gameevent.Listen( "player_connect" )
    hook.Add( "player_connect", "AnnounceConnection", function( data )

	local SteamID = util.SteamIDTo64( data.networkid )

	http.Fetch( "http://api.steampowered.com/IPlayerService/GetOwnedGames/v0001/?key="..Key.."&format=json&input_json={%22appids_filter%22:[4000],%22steamid%22:"..SteamID.."}", function( body, len, headers, code )

		ForeverTime = util.JSONToTable(body).response.games[1].playtime_forever
		RunConsoleCommand("say",ForeverTime/60 )

	end )

    end )

end

But I wouldn't really recommend it. The event fires when a player clicks "connect" in the server browser. If they start downloading and then leave, it could print your player connected text many times for players that never end up actually joining your server. I would recommend this instead:

if SERVER then
    
    hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "AnnounceConnection", function( ply )

		local SteamID = ply:SteamID64()

		http.Fetch( "http://api.steampowered.com/IPlayerService/GetOwnedGames/v0001/?key="..Key.."&format=json&input_json={%22appids_filter%22:[4000],%22steamid%22:"..SteamID.."}", function( body, len, headers, code )

			ForeverTime = util.JSONToTable(body).response.games[1].playtime_forever
			RunConsoleCommand("say",ForeverTime/60 )

	    end )

	end

end )

Ok Thx CallMePyro,

I use your first version, its for restriction on my server ;) !

I have an another question : I can return if my data (player) are admin or not ?

[CallMePyro]

Depends. If you're using ULX, then yes. Simply do this:

if SERVER then

	local admins = 
	{
		["admin"] = true,
		["superadmin"] = true,
		["owner"] = true,
	}

    gameevent.Listen( "player_connect" )
    hook.Add( "player_connect", "AnnounceConnection", function( data )

		local sid64 = util.SteamIDTo64( data.networkid )

		http.Fetch( "http://api.steampowered.com/IPlayerService/GetOwnedGames/v0001/?key="..Key.."&format=json&input_json={%22appids_filter%22:[4000],%22steamid%22:"..sid64.."}", function( body, len, headers, code )

			local ForeverTime = util.JSONToTable(body).response.games[1].playtime_forever
			RunConsoleCommand("say",ForeverTime/60 )

		end )
		
		if admins[ULib.ucl.users[data.networkid].group] then
		
			print( "THIS GUY IS AN ADMIN" )
			
		end

    end )

end

To add groups that are recognized as an admin, simply add entries to the 'admins' table in the format that I showed you.

["groupname"] = true,

don't forget the brackets, quotes, or ending comma.

The Guy is a lua king.

Really thx dude !

[Naografix]

I have one problem with your line : if(AllowedGroup[ULib.ucl.users[data.networkid].group]) then

If the player havent group (user) it return NIL :/

I suggest you use the CheckPassword hook instead, it's called earlier (Assumption) and allows you to return false and kick him with a reason.
[lua]
if SERVER then

local admins = {
admin = true,
superadmin = true,
owner = true
}

hook.Add("CheckPassword", "AnnounceConnection", function(id)
http.Fetch( "http://api.steampowered.com/IPlayerService/GetOwnedGames/v0001/?key="..Key.."&format=json&input_json={%22appids_filter%22:[4000],%22steamid%22:"..id.."}", function( body, len, headers, code )
local ForeverTime = util.JSONToTable(body).response.games[1].playtime_forever
RunConsoleCommand("say",ForeverTime/60 )
end)

if admins[ULib.ucl.users[id].group] then
return true
end

if true then
return false, "Here's the reason!"
end
end)
end[/lua]

With the
[lua]if true then[/lua] replace that with your condition to kick them from the server.

Sure but the guy specifically asked for player_connect gameevent, so that's what I used.

edit: Here's the fix for a null user.

if SERVER then

	local admins = 
	{
		["admin"] = true,
		["superadmin"] = true,
		["owner"] = true,
	}

    gameevent.Listen( "player_connect" )
    hook.Add( "player_connect", "AnnounceConnection", function( data )

		local sid64 = util.SteamIDTo64( data.networkid )

		http.Fetch( "http://api.steampowered.com/IPlayerService/GetOwnedGames/v0001/?key="..Key.."&format=json&input_json={%22appids_filter%22:[4000],%22steamid%22:"..sid64.."}", function( body, len, headers, code )

			local ForeverTime = util.JSONToTable(body).response.games[1].playtime_forever
			RunConsoleCommand("say",ForeverTime/60 )

		end )

		local info = ULib.ucl.users[data.networkid]
		
		if info and admins[info.group] then
		
			print( "THIS GUY IS AN ADMIN" )
			
		end

    end )

end

I wasn't criticizing, I was just saying it's more effective.
