[ItsMoney]

i have this code

function changeplayermodel(ply)
    ply:SetModel("models/player/gman_high.mdl")
end
concommand.Add("changeplayermodel", changeplayermodel)

But i need the command to work with certian ulx groups.

The documentation to create a ulx command is [url=http://ulyssesmod.net/docs/files/lua/ulib/shared/commands-lua.html]here[/url].

i dont need to make a ulx command i want to make a console command for donator's to change to a custom playermodel

[Percipience]

if ply:GetNWString( "usergroup" ) == "donator" then
	ply:SetModel("models/player/gman_high.mdl")
end

that will work I'm pretty sure. server-side script.

[QUOTE=Percipience;49770487]there's no way you're going to be able to do that[/QUOTE]

this should work for you.

local modelPaths = 
{

{"donator","models/path"}, // first string is player's ulx group to check, other one is the model to change.
{"admin","models/path"},
{"superadmin","models/path"}


}

hook.Add("PlayerSpawn", "_getSpawnedUser", function(ply)
      for k,v in pairs(modelPaths) do
	if(modelPaths[k][1] == string.lower(ply:GetUserGroup())) then
		ply:SetModel(modelPaths[v][2])
	end
     end
end)

Or just use concommand.Add serverside?????

[Percipience]

Wait, are you saying you want them to become a certain playermodel on command?

If so:

concommand.Add( "changemodel", function( ply )

	if ply:GetUserGroup() == "donator" then
		ply:SetModel( "models/player/gman_high.mdl" )
	else
		ply:SendLua( "notification.AddLegacy( 'You must be a Donator to access this feature', 1, 2 )" )
	end

end )

Tested, and working. You're welcome.

or you could just make a chat command

local playerMeta = FindMetaTable('Player')

function playerMeta:isGroup(group)
return self:IsUserGroup(string.lower(group))
end



hook.Add("PlayerSay","_onPlayerTypeSomething",function(ply,text)
if( ply:isGroup("donator") && text == "!changemodel") then
	ply:SetModel( "models/player/gman_high.mdl" )
      ply:SendLua( [[  chat.AddText(Color(0,180,255), '[SERVER] ', Color(0,255,0),   'You have succesfully changed your model.') ]]  )
      return false 
elseif(text == "!changemodel" && !ply:isGroup("donator")) then
       ply:SendLua( [[  chat.AddText(Color(0,180,255), '[SERVER] ', Color(255,0,0),   'You are not allowed to do this.') ]]  )
    return false
end

end)

I think, I think I get what you mean.
You want a player to type something like this in his console "ChaneModel_OrWhatever modelName", and have his model be set to modelName?

If so, you can either translate the actual .mdl file names (gman_high, p2_chell, etc) into understandable names (G-Man, That girl from Portal 2, etc) in a table.
Then have the concommand print a list of models in case the model specified is invalid, and actually set the model if the model is valid.

If this is not what you meant you should really be more specific. (Also simply add a ply:IsUserGroup or LocalPlayer():IsUserGroup test to see if he's in the correct ulx group)

I've already told him the solution, he just wanted a handout, and now he's out. He doesn't care about replying anymore lmao.
