unknown command: what am i doing wrong?

[odyss3y]

Below is the code I'm working on. It is in a custom addon under lua\autorun. I've tried it under autorun\server with no effect. I'm not very good with Lua, obviously, and would appreciate anyones help. When I run either of the added console commands, I get "unknown command".

function CustomClass()
     if player:IsUserGroup("CustomUserClass") then 
		game.ConsoleCommand("rp_CustomClass" player:Name()"\n")
	end
end
concommand.Add("CustomClass",CustomClass)

function checkCustomUserClass(ply)
 
     if player:IsUserGroup("CustomUserClass") then
          ply:ChatPrint("You are an CustomUserClass on the server")
     else
          ply:ChatPrint("You are not an CustomUserClass on this server!")
     end
 
end
concommand.Add("info_CustomUserClass", checkCustomUserClass)

[lua]function CustomClass(player , command , arguments)
if player:IsUserGroup("CustomUserClass") then
game.ConsoleCommand("rp_CustomClass "..player:Name().."\n")
end
end
concommand.Add("CustomClass",CustomClass)

function checkCustomUserClass(ply)

if ply:IsUserGroup("CustomUserClass") then
ply:ChatPrint("You are an CustomUserClass on the server")
else
ply:ChatPrint("You are not an CustomUserClass on this server!")
end

end
concommand.Add("info_CustomUserClass", checkCustomUserClass)[/lua]

In Lua, like in almost other languages, in order to use a variable in a string you must concatenate it. Lua's concatenation operator is ".."

Edit: Offtopic, but using a player's name in game.ConsoleCommand is unadvisable. If they use the name ";sv_cheats 1" then there is a possibility that your script will enable cheats when they change class.

that helps a lot, thanks.

I'm getting this error now: attempt to call method 'IsUserGroup' (a nil value)

Offtopic: command injection is a nonissue as only alphanumeric chars are allowed in the username.

Hmm, I see no obvious reasons it would do that.. Do you get the error only for the first command? If so maybe it has to do with you trying to overwrite the "player" library.. Try changing it to "ply", it's worth a try! :wink:

Hehe, you rhymed.
I think you might want to use Lua_reloadents so you can tweak it.

ok, updated

function CustomClass(pl , command , arguments) 

	if pl:IsUserGroup( "dave" ) then 
		game.ConsoleCommand("rp_dave "..pl:Name().."\n")
	else
		game.ConsoleCommand("exit")
	end

end
concommand.Add("CustomClass", CustomClass)

function checkCustomClass(pl)

	if pl:IsUserGroup( "dave" ) then
		pl:ChatPrint("You are Dave on the server")
	else
		pl:ChatPrint("You are not a Dave on this server!")
	end

end
concommand.Add("info_CustomClass", checkCustomClass)

results in:

] info_customclass
You are not a Dave on this server!

even though when i logon to the server it says:
"Hey 'dave' - You're in the 'dave' group on this server."
