Give Pointshop Points

[miny1997]

Hi guys,

I am coding a web application and the app can give points to players. I use the xPaw class for this. I tested the RCON connection with Rusty(connection works) and I don't know how I can add points. I use the pointshop from Undefinied.

Look through the files next time; you'll be able to find the answer quicker than we can answer

ply:PS_GivePoints(NUMBER)

[miny1997]

That's that I don't need! I need the CONSOLE command and not the Lua method.

Don't get aggressive with people who are trying to help you.
Pointshop doesn't have console commands for giving points. You'll have to make one I saw this posted in another thread but you'll have to modify to accept steamids.

concommand.Add("ps_give_points", function(ply, cmd, args)
	if #args != 2 then
		ply:ChatPrint("Missing arguments! ps_give_points <player-id> <points>")
		return
	end
	other = player.GetByID(args[1])
	points = tonumber(args[2])
	if points < 0 then
		ply:ChatPrint("You can't give a negative amount of points")
		return
	end
	if (ply:IsAdmin()) and other and points and IsValid(other) and other:IsPlayer() then
		other:PS_GivePoints(points)
		other:PS_Notify(ply:Nick(), ' gave you ', points, ' points.')
		ply:PS_Notify('You gave "', other:Nick(), '" ', points, ' points.')
	end
end)

Re-did the code above, untested, but should work.

[lua]
concommand.Add("ps_give_points", function(ply, args, cmd)
local target
for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if string.find(string.lower(v:Nick()), string.lower(tostring(args[1]))) or string.find(string.lower(tostring(v:SteamID())), string.lower(tostring(args[1]))) then
target = v
end
end
if (#args < 2) then
ply:ChatPrint("Missing arguments! Do ps_give_points <player> <amount of points>")
return
end
if tonumber(args[2]) < 0 then
ply:ChatPrint("You can not give negative amount of points!")
return
end
if (ply:IsAdmin()) and target and tonumber(args[2]) and IsValid(target) and target:IsPlayer() then
target:PS_GivePoints(points)
target:PS_Notify(ply:Nick(), ' gave you ', tonumber(args[2]), ' points.')
ply:PS_Notify('You gave "', target:Nick(), '" ', tonumber(args[2]), ' points.')
end
end)
[/lua]

Example: ps_give_points Author 100 ps_give_points STEAM_0:0:58068155 100
Both commands would give me 100 pointshop points.

[lua]for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if string.find(string.lower(v:Nick()), string.lower(tostring(args[1]))) or string.find(string.lower(tostring(v:SteamID())), string.lower(tostring(args[1]))) then
local target = v
end
end[/lua]

Don't use local target inside the loop, just do

[lua]target = v[/lua]

since it's already defined above.

When you call a concommand from the server console the ply argument is no longer a player it's Entity( 0 ).

[miny1997]

Ok, sounds logical. But I have a question. Are there other ways than the RCON to run console command where I must check for admin rights?
