clientside hook to change chat input before sending to server?

[NeatNit]

[QUOTE=Xaotic;47211025]clientside hook to change chat input before sending to server?[/QUOTE]

I don't really see why you'd want this... Wouldn't it work to change it serverside on [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/PlayerSay]GM/PlayerSay[/url]?

Only thing I can think of clientside is [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/ChatTextChanged]GM/ChatTextChanged[/url], which I've never worked with. Alternatively there's [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/OnChatTab]GM/OnChatTab[/url], which would require your users to press tab but lets you change it to whatever and they would also see it.

i got my reasons *puts glasses on*
i can work with the second one, thanks hon

I think you may need to use the chat-box "hack" solution so you can get the text from the box as it is typed ( different from On Chat Changed because that only returns to the function the new contents, it doesn't let you alter it ) and the Chat Tab function is so you can create a sort of auto-complete system ( so if you have @Name for private messaging or whatever, it can be coded in, if I'm reading it correctly ) which won't help because the client would need to press TAB to have the text altered.

Honestly, instead of having the CLIENT manipulate data which may be important, it is much better to have the SERVER handle it in PlayerSay as mentioned before. Another alternative would be to use OnPlayerChat which is client-side BUT it is the communication the SERVER sends to all CLIENTs when a message has completed its rounds...

Depending on what it is needed for, you may be able to use one or the other.. Here are how chat commands can be created with examples using PlayerSay, OnPlayerChat, and other methods of string manipulation:

[url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/chat_commands/chat_commands_other.lua.html[/url]

Here's the most likely solution that would work for you because you'd be able to target the text box prior to the user pressing enter, and alter it... The down-side is that it is highly likely that this method will be removed, ie "fixed", because it is exploitable: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1451374[/url]

Any assistance with planning out my Chat Box?
Obviously, I need to hide the old one, but when it comes to actually creating the design;

Should I use a DTextEntry to give a base typing area for the client and when finished, have it insert into a 'History' table. From there, have another [scrollable] panel that loops through 'History' and makes new Lines/Bars on a itself?

On mobile right now, so kinda kept the description short, but help me think of what I'm missing.

[editline]25th February 2015[/editline]

Oh yes, and I need to override chat.AddText, Correct?

[NeatNit]

[url=https://github.com/garrynewman/garrysmod/blob/master/garrysmod/lua/includes/extensions/table.lua#L695-L699]table.KeyFromValue[/url] returns no value when a key isn't found. Is there any reason, at all, why it doesn't return nil?

It got a bit confusing to debug, since the following code:
[lua]print( type(table.KeyFromValue(tab, val)), table.KeyFromValue(tab, val) )
local a = table.KeyFromValue(tab, val)
print(type(a), a)[/lua]
produces (when tab doesn't have val):

no value
nil	nil

Which is inconsistent.

I mean, I got over it now, but shouldn't it just return nil? I mean, it's a function that returns a value, it SHOULD always return one!

my staff keeps using the !give command to give themselves weapons in darkrp even though I removed the !give command in the restrictions. How would I restrict that command entirely?

[WalkingZombie]

So I know there's a way to put elements on the HUD at different angles, 3D2D, but is there a way to make the entire thing curve, like a bubble?

If your staff doesn't listen to you, you should consider demoting them instead.
As for the !give command, it's not a default ULX command afaik, so you could just remove the script. Restricting it on a per group basis will work, unless you're doing something wrong.

This isn't everything, but it's the start: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/chat_box/creating_custom_chatbox.lua.html[/url]

I'd recommend looking at the wiki... Try to incorporate all existing hooks into the new chat-box so it will support all other mods. Besides, then the functions are put to use and not wasted space.

And, yes... I would recommend overwriting chat.AddText ( but keep the functionality ), etc...

[QUOTE=meowking1;47213054]my staff keeps using the !give command to give themselves weapons in darkrp even though I removed the !give command in the restrictions. How would I restrict that command entirely?[/QUOTE]

If you removed it from being restricted then it is unrestricted.. You'd need to restrict access so they do not give themselves weapons or as ms333 says, demote them... If they go behind your back to use admin abilities to spawn themselves things... they're not trustworthy.

Here's a console command tracking system if you're interested: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/_utilities/concommand_logger_.lua[/url]

You can add give to the command_blacklist table. It can either be a function if you want to allow yourself or you can simply add give = true; in the command_blacklist table and it'll be blocked for everyone.. There is a hook you can override though so a simple hook.Add CanPlayerRunConCommand with args for player, command, args in table format, args in string format...

While I agree that functions should be standardized.. not all of them are. Not all of them need to return a value but, personally, a getter should return either a default value if it's that type of getter, or false if no data found, etc...

Although, because nil is "nothing", meaning it doesn't exist... you can easily test... if ( !table.KeyFromVale( ... ) ) then ... nothing found ... end

(TTFs have worked fine though.)

Anybody know how to stop this from stacking:

function GM:HUDPaint()

local Target
	for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
	Target = v
end

if Target:Team() == LocalPlayer():Team() then
		if Target == LocalPlayer() then return end
			if !Target:IsValid() then return end

draw.RoundedBox(0, 25, ScrH()-137.1 * 4, 200, 35, Color(25,  25, 25, 150))
draw.SimpleText(Target:Nick(), "Trebuchet22",40, ScrH()-136 * 4, Color(255, 255, 255))

draw.SimpleText(Target:Nick() , "Trebuchet22",40, ScrH()-127 * 4, Color(255, 255, 255))


    end
end

Perhaps I'm missing the point, but those look exactly the same except the background.

Edit: oh, I see it. Rate me dumb!

Edit: you're setting a value in a for loop but only using it outside the for loop. That means you're only using the LAST value that it was set to. Put the rest of the code inside the loop, like so:
[lua]function GM:HUDPaint()

local Target

for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
Target = v

if Target:Team() == LocalPlayer():Team() then
if Target == LocalPlayer() then return end
if !Target:IsValid() then return end

draw.RoundedBox(0, 25, ScrH()-137.1 * 4, 200, 35, Color(25, 25, 25, 150))
draw.SimpleText(Target:Nick(), "Trebuchet22",40, ScrH()-136 * 4, Color(255, 255, 255))

draw.SimpleText(Target:Nick() , "Trebuchet22",40, ScrH()-127 * 4, Color(255, 255, 255))

end
end
end[/lua]

Also for the love of code, properly tab your lines.
