Coding ULX Usergroup-Specific TTT Detective/Traitor Weapons

[C:\Windows]

I would like to know if it is possible to have a SWEP that only shows up in the detective menu depending on the player's ULX user group. For example, if a regular detective goes into the shop, he/she will not be able to buy the taser weapon unless their usergroup is set to superadmin.

[HornetPilot]

I believe you have to edit the TTT base as well as the weapon but I am not sure. I have been trying to find a way for this for ages and I was thinking if I could, release it for free or on coderhire for about 5-10USD.
But only if I made it of course.

[capnsparrow]

In shared.lua for the weapon try something like

[lua]if not Owner:IsUserGroup("Group") then return end
else
SWEP.CanBuy = { ROLE_TRAITOR }
end
[/lua]

I honestly don't know if this would work, especially since the owner might not have been defined before the weapon is bought, but its worth a shot and this might help you figure it out at least.

[HornetPilot]

Doesn't work.

LOL WRONG MAZAFAKER!Siriously its wrong.Here is normal code

if not Owner:IsUserGroup("Group") then return ""
else   
       SWEP.CanBuy = { ROLE_TRAITOR }

try

if self.owner:IsUserGroup("Group") then 
       SWEP.CanBuy = { ROLE_TRAITOR }
else   
       return
end

and post your 82 string with that fucntion

[zerothefallen]

[lua]if self.owner:IsUserGroup("X") then
SWEP.CanBuy = {ROLE_TRAITOR}
else
return end[/lua]

idunno 4 am coding.

dunno why they do it that way

Since your using ULX and checking for ULX groups, use [url=http://ulyssesmod.net/docs/files/lua/ulib/shared/sh_ucl-lua.html#Player:CheckGroup]Player:CheckGroup[/url] as it checks the group chain as well, from the wiki:

[QUOTE=UCL Wiki;0]
This function is similar to IsUserGroup(), but this one checks the UCL group chain as well. For example, if a user is in group “owner” which inherits from “superadmin”, this function will return true if you check the user against “superadmin”, where IsUserGroup() wouldn’t.

No lua errors or anything but its not in the menu.

Thats were I also came to.. Seems Im stuck there for a while. Coundn't find the answer. Sorry

I think as I said before we have to edit the TTT base.

Try

function SWEP:Customcheck()
if self.Owner:CheckGroup("vip+") then
	SWEP.CanBuy = {ROLE_TRAITOR}
		else
return end
end

or

function customcheck()
if LocalPlayer():CheckGroup("vip+") then
	SWEP.CanBuy = {ROLE_TRAITOR}
		else
return end
end

I do like how people being remotely helpful are labeled as dumb when you can't get it to work

[editline]7th August 2013[/editline]

Try [lua]
if LocalPlayer():IsUserGroup("group") then
SWEP.CanBuy = {ROLE_TRAITOR}
else return end
[/lua]

[HornetPilot]

None of the above work. No lua errors but it doesn't show up in the Traitor Equipment Menu

[AirBlack]

[QUOTE=Sm63;41755219]None of the above work. No lua errors but it doesn't show up in the Traitor Equipment Menu[/QUOTE]

Are you sure you're in that group?

Try that(without function)

if LocalPlayer():CheckGroup("vip+") or LocalPlayer:IsAdmin() then
	SWEP.CanBuy = {ROLE_TRAITOR}
		else
return end

[HornetPilot]

And yes air, I used rcon to add myself vip+ and it didn't show at all

[looter]

This is pretty hacky, but it's the only way I could think of easily adding this functionality for every SWEP, whether in an addon or in TTT itself, without the need to modify base TTT code so you can easily keep up with updates.

Place this code into autorun/ttt_hacky_ulx.lua on the server.
[lua]
if SERVER then

AddCSLuaFile();

else

local oWeaponsGetList = weapons.GetList;

function weapons.GetList()

local tbl = oWeaponsGetList();

-- LocalPlayer does not exist yet, do not filter
if( !IsValid( LocalPlayer() ) ) then

return tbl;

end

local grp = LocalPlayer():GetUserGroup();

-- Modify weapons.GetList() returned results if it's called by cl_equip.lua's GetEquipmentForRole function
-- Based on the LocalPlayer's ULX group
if( string.find( tostring( debug.traceback() ), "GetEquipmentForRole" ) != nil ) then

for k,v in pairs( tbl ) do

if( v and v.CanBuy ) then

if( v.GroupOnly and v.Groups ) then

if( !table.HasValue( v.Groups, grp ) ) then

table.remove( tbl, k );

end

end

end

end

end

return tbl;

end

end
[/lua]

Then, just add this code to any weapon you want to be restricted to a group.
[lua]
SWEP.GroupOnly = true;
SWEP.Groups = {"vip", "admin", "someothergroup"};
[/lua]

Supports multiple groups, tested this on a dedicated server and didn't run into any issues. The detour only target's TTT's cl_equip.lua's GetEquipmentForRole(role) function on line 10.

Oh and, you guys are using CanBuy incorrectly. To get a good idea of how to use it correctly, look at ttt_knife near line 45, you define it with the rest of the SWEP.* Variables, not in it's own function.

So, I tried it. It works! Thank you so much for this. Hope the OP locks the thread now :)
