Admins get certain player models

Garry's Mod coding
#1

I was wondering how I would be able to make to so that when a player is an admin on my server, they use a custom “admin” player model?

#2

[lua]
function AdminModel( ply )
if ply:IsAdmin() then
ply:SetModel( “model path” )
end
end

hook.Add( “PlayerSpawn”, “AdminModel”, AdminModel )
[/lua]

Put this in your lua / autorun map.

I dont understand what you mean when you say that. o.o

EDIT: I didnt see the lua. Sorry

EDIT: Yet I still dont understand it. I dont have a “map” in the lua/autorun. I only have ulib_init.

#4

You do have a garrysmod server ? cause you should have a garrymod folder with stuff like lua, data and that sort of stuff, send me a screen of you server map

#5

He means, put in garrysmod>lua>(you may need to crete this folder)autorun>(may need to create this folder to)server. Put it there and it should work.

#6

he calls it a map instead a of a folder, lol

#7

Shouldn’t it be “PlayerSetModel” and not “PlayerSpawn”?

#8

There’s a way you can do it with steam ID’s if this helps:

[lua]

function GM:SetupPlayerModel( pl )

if pl:SteamID() == "SteamID" then
	pl:GetTable().PlayerModel = "model"
	pl:SetModel( pl:GetTable().PlayerModel )
	return
elseif pl:SteamID() == "SteamID" then
	pl:GetTable().PlayerModel = "model"
	pl:SetModel( pl:GetTable().PlayerModel )
	return
elseif pl:SteamID() == "SteamID" then
	pl:GetTable().PlayerModel = "model"
	pl:SetModel( pl:GetTable().PlayerModel )
	return
elseif pl:SteamID() == "SteamID" then
	pl:GetTable().PlayerModel = "model"
	pl:SetModel( pl:GetTable().PlayerModel )
	return
elseif pl:SteamID() == "SteamID" then
	pl:GetTable().PlayerModel = "model"
	pl:SetModel( pl:GetTable().PlayerModel )
	return
elseif pl:SteamID() == "SteamID" then
	pl:GetTable().PlayerModel = "model"
	pl:SetModel( pl:GetTable().PlayerModel )
	return
elseif pl:SteamID() == "SteamID" then
	pl:GetTable().PlayerModel = "model"
	pl:SetModel( pl:GetTable().PlayerModel )
	return
end

end
[/lua]

You don’t need the returns, as it will ignore the rest of the if-then. Also, it’s “GM:PlayerSetModel”. A shorter version would be:
[lua]local model = {}
local function addModel(steamID, model)
model[steamID] = model
end
addModel(“steamID”, “model”)

function GM:PlayerSetModel(ply)
util.PrecacheModel(model[ply:SteamID()]) --Not sure if this is needed anymore.
ply:SetModel(model[ply:SteamID()])
end[/lua]

It’s old computer slang and it’s valid.

#11

Why do people overwride the gamemode functions? and Unrealomega, you might want to add a check for if the steamID is not in the table :

[lua]local model = {}

function addModel(steamID, model)
model[steamID] = model
end

hook.Add(“PlayerSetModel”,“SteamIDBasedModels”,function(ply)
if model[ply:SteamID()] then
ply:SetModel(model[ply:SteamID()])
end
end)[/lua]

#12

Missing a ‘)’ after the last end.

#13

Ah, forgot about that, its fixed now.

#14

Ugh… why not use a table for the SteamIDs?
