Giving specific users access to ulx commands without a group, but only a variable

[fruitwasp]

Hey,

I would like to give users some ulx admin commands without their own group, but only a variable: Player.DarkRPVars.vip == true. I already tried editing their overwriting IsAdmin function, but no results.

I made a copy of the overwriting ulx IsAdmin function.

local origIsAdmin = meta.IsAdmin
--[[
	Function: Player:IsAdmin

	Overwrite garry's IsAdmin function to check for membership in admin group. This is so if group "serverowner"
	inherits from superadmin, this function will still return true when checking on a member belonging to the
	"serverowner" group.

	Returns:

		True is the user belongs in the admin group directly or indirectly, false otherwise.

	Revisions:

		v2.40 - Rewrite.
]]
function meta:IsAdmin()
	if ucl.groups[ ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN ] then
		return self:CheckGroup( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
	else -- Group doesn't exist, fall back on garry's method
		origIsAdmin( self )
	end
end

I already tried this:

function meta:IsAdmin()
	if self.DarkRPVars.vip == true then
		return true	
	elseif ucl.groups[ ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN ] then
		return self:CheckGroup( ULib.ACCESS_ADMIN )
	else -- Group doesn't exist, fall back on garry's method
		origIsAdmin( self )
	end
end

I would really be interested in this I am trying to do something similar

I have an IsVIP() function and I would like to allow VIPs the votekick and voteban commands without actually changing their ugroup.

Did you find a way to do this?

The only way to do it without a group would be to edit the ulx code and make all group/isadmin checks also check that variable.

My recommendation would be to create a vip group in ulx. Then have a script hook the player join event and check if the person is in the vip group, if not add them.
