xPermissions - Permission Denied.

[tazy4tazy]

I've been working on an addon called xPermissions, which is basicly something for Lua coders to implement into scripts.

You can do stuff like.

[lua]
function LetUsNoClip(ply)

if xPermissions and xPermissions.HasPermission(ply, "noclip") then

return true

else

return false

end

end

hook.Add("PlayerNoClip", "xPermissionsTest", LetUsNoClip)
[/lua]

It will be released soon as soon as I work out all of the bugs.
You can also assign a player a '*' permission to let them access everything.

Functions:

xPermission.GetPermissions(PLAYER Object) -- Returns a table of all the players permissions.
xPermission.GivePermission(PLAYER Object, STRING permission) -- Gives a player a permission.
xPermission.HasPermission(PLAYER Object, STRING permission) -- Returns true if a player has a permission, Returns false if they do not.
xPermission.RemovePermission(PLAYER Object, STRING permission) -- Removes a players permission, if they do not have permission, it returns nil.
xPermission.SetPermissions(PLAYER Object, TABLE permissions) -- Sets a players permission, (WARNING: Accepts tables only.)

Current Bugs:
For some reason, Permissions started to durr when I put it on a dedicated server instead of a listen server. - Should be fixed.

You can also use this in DarkRP to restrict weapons and jobs to certain players.
Instead of true/false for the admin boolean on the AddCustomTeam function, use [lua]xPermissions.HasPermission(ply, "whateverpermission")[/lua]

How will these permissions be stored?

[tazy4tazy]

[QUOTE=_nonSENSE;33920954]How will these permissions be stored?[/QUOTE]

SQLite, Why? I might add some more storage methods such as GLON and MySQL

[QUOTE=tazy4tazy;33921034]SQLite, Why? I might add some more storage methods such as GLON and MySQL[/QUOTE]

GLON isn't a method of storing data, it's a method for compressing data. I assume you say GLON, but mean to say text file?

[LauScript]

someone could find this useful i suppose.

I suggest for the sake of actually getting publicity( Lua Libraries like this don't get a lot of attention believe me ), you make a menu for admins to give permissions and include all the basic sandbox hooks for permissions.

also how many "bugs" could there be with this? I can't possibly imagine how you'd manage to get a bug with storing true/false on the player

your bugs are very descriptive

[tazy4tazy]

[QUOTE=Knallex;33922580]your bugs are very descriptive[/QUOTE]

When I put it on a listen server, it returns true when a player has the permission, when its dedicated, it returns false when the player has the permission.

never ran into this. something you must be doing weird with your code.

[lua]
if !ply or !perm then return end

local plyperms = xPermissions.GetPermissions(ply)

if table.HasValue(plyperms, "*") or table.HasValue(plyperms, perm) then
return true
else
return false
end
[/lua]
Dont see whats wrong.

[Aide]

[lua]function YourFunction(ply, perm)
if table.HasValue(plyperms, "*") or table.HasValue(plyperms, perm) then
return true
end
return false
end[/lua]

Why add the "else".

[Ploo]

[lua]function YourFunction(ply, perm)
return table.HasValue(plyperms, "*") or table.HasValue(plyperms, perm)
end[/lua]

You don't even know how to use SQLite

[tazy4tazy]

god damnit, it works in singleplayer/listen servers, but it wont work on dedicated servers.

[hentie]

I'd rather have a general purpose addon that allows you to save any sort of data for players (except tables).

[LauScript]

[QUOTE=Chessnut;33923416]You don't even know how to use SQLite[/QUOTE]

Playerdata uses SQLite, he doesn't need to know.

[QUOTE=Hentie;33924494]I'd rather have a general purpose addon that allows you to save any sort of data for players (except tables).[/QUOTE]

pdata.

btw a permissions library is useless,

player:SetPData("CanNoclip", true );

player:GetPData("CanNoclip");

like my lib?

[Science]

[lua]hook.Add("PlayerNoClip", "xPermissionsTest", function(ply)
return xPermissions.HasPermission(ply, "noclip")
end)[/lua]
Why take up 15 lines when you could just use 3?

And this is such a basic addon. Any developer that can actually do decent scripting wouldnt need this.

Don't hate on other peoples work when you can't do better you're self

[Science]

[QUOTE=Dame Flawless;33925552]Don't hate on other peoples work when you can't do better you're self[/QUOTE]Yay. Flawless is back.

I could make this system so easily and have it encorporate more than he has.

[LauScript]

oh yeah well i can make it better than all u nerds!!!

anyone wasting there time arguing over this is stupid, if this is released, [b][i]someone might[/i][/b] find it useful. leave it at that and quit being retards talking about who can store a bool on the player "better", it's pathetic.

[jamie]

Reminds me of things like PermissionsBukkit

You can't code, get over yourself, no one gives a shit.

For the Permissions, this would be something useful for an admin mod, I don't see it being useful for something else other than that.

[Chessnut]

I got xPermissions released bro.

[lua]
xPermission = {};

function xPermission.add(client, permission)
client:SetPData(permission, true);
end;

function xPermission.remove(client, permission)
client:RemovePData(permission);
end;

function xPermission.has(client, permission)
return client:GetPData(permission, false);
end;
[/lua]

[lorde banana]

That really is the entire thing lol

[Chessnut]

If you want the version using the player metatable:

[lua]
local playerTable = FindMetaTable("Player");

playerTable.XPerm_Give = playerTable.SetPData;
playerTable.XPerm_Take = playerTable.RemovePData;
playerTable.XPerm_Has = playerTable.GetPData;
[/lua]

[tazy4tazy]

The purpose of this was for developers to implement it into scripts, for instance, you can replace

[lua]
function LetsDoSomeShit(ply)

if ply:IsAdmin() then
...doshit...
end

end[/lua]

With:

[lua]
function LetsDoSomeShit(ply)

if xPermissions and xPermission.HasPermission(ply, "doshit") or ply:IsAdmin() then
...doshit...
end

end
[/lua]

So that you can control multiple scripts using one plugin.

First Beta (may be buggy, report bugs in this thread)
[url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15584452/xPermissions.zip][img]http://pud-linux.sourceforge.net/icon/download_manager.png[/img][/url]

I will be releasing an addon that uses this permission system in the Sandbox gamemode.
So you can restrict propspawning etc.

[lua] if result == "" or result == nil or !result then
sql.Query("INSERT INTO xpermissions (personaName, steamID, permissions) VALUES ('"..ply:Nick().."', '"..ply:SteamID().."', '') ")
ply:SetNWString("xpermissions", "")
else
sql.Query("UPDATE xpemissions SET personaName = '"..ply:Nick().."'' WHERE steamID = '"..ply:SteamID().."'")
ply:SetNWString("xpermissions", result)
end[/lua]

Set nick to " lol'); DROP TABLE `xpermissions`; --".
Woops.

Dont think that would work, also, I've used _R. before, I just didn't feel like putting it in, might put it in a later version.

[LuaMilkshake]

Ah, now that I look at it I think you're right about that for SQLite. Regardless, you should sanitize SQL queries. Why are you even storing the player's name?

Because, a owner will look in the database and think "God, I have to translate every SteamID in here." (fuuuuu face)
