Pointshop Help

Basically, I have 2 questions

1.) How do I make it so that only Superadmins and above can see the admin tab

2.) How do I make a custom tab that is donor and above only?

Go to sh_config.lua in the pointshop addon and change line 20 to say false.
For the custom tab create a folder in with all the other categories called donor, then create a lua file in the folder called __category.lua. In that file put:

CATEGORY.Name = 'Donor'
CATEGORY.Icon = 'heart'
CATEGORY.AllowUserGroups = { "donor", "admin" }

Put all of the ranks that are allowed to use it in AllowedUserGroups

Here's my script: [lua]CATEGORY.Name = 'VIP'
CATEGORY.Icon = 'heart'
CATEGORY.AllowUserGroups = {"superdonor"}[/lua]

It is not working

What's the error?

[Dr. Aven]

It doesn't show up

Are you naming the script __category.lua? No caps?

Notice how the "superdonor" in this script is yellow, and the one you made is grey. I'm not sure if that means anything, but maybe it does.

CATEGORY.Name = 'VIP'
CATEGORY.Icon = 'heart'
CATEGORY.AllowUserGroups = { "superdonor" }

Also make sure there are 2 underlines before category.lua.
So __ not _

Heya,

Your questions are answered fairly easily with some research.

Regarding the 'Admin tab':
You can change this simply by going into the configuration file and changing some values.
The Config file is situated in 'Addons/Pointshop/lua/sh_config'
This file contains a table with configurable values.
You'll find these two lines: ( Both True ( Enabled ) by default )

PS.Config.AdminCanAccessAdminTab = true
PS.Config.SuperAdminCanAccessAdminTab = true

Simply change the first one to false and you're done, save the file and exit.

The info needed to create your own category is easily obtainable:

If you're the lazy type you can download a pre-made donator pack.
Just google; "Pointshop donator" either go to Youtube or garrysmod.org from there.

I also recommend you learn the basics of ( G )Lua.
This way you can edit/fix or even make your own additions to Garry's Mod without having to ask others for help.

I hope this sorts out your problems. ^ ^
