Problem with et_ConsoleCommand()

KoSH · 13-Dec-10 17:12:28

Hi Guys,

i've started dealing with lua-scripting, and encountered a little problem. I thought, maybe one of you
can give me a little hint
What i want basically is, to call a LUA function from a custom-shrubbot command. Therefor i
wrote this custom command:

command = test
exec = testcommand; cpm Test
desc = text
levels = 4 5 6 7

This command should call following function

function et_ConsoleCommand()
  if et.trap_Argv(0) == "testcommand" then
	et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_NOW, "cp works ") 
	-- doing some calculations and actions
        return 1
  end
  return 0
end

The problem is, that i do not manage to call the function at all
Even if shrubbot-command doesn't work, ... in my opinion at least /rcon testcommand
should do it
Am i just too dumb to find the right way to call the function? or is that just not possible?

If i use

et_ClientCommand(clientNum, command)

i can call my function perfectly well with typing /testcommand in console. But i want to restrict my function to certain shrubbot levels. Of course i could read in the shrubbot.cfg and check if the client, who calls this function has sufficient rights, but i fear that would cause too much calculating time, especially as N!tmods shrub cfg is not very small

If you want to use et_ClientCommand( clientNum, command ), you can do it this way :

function et_ClientCommand( client, command )
     command = string.lower(command)
     lvl = et.G_shrubbot_level(client)

          if (lvl > 1) and ( command == "test" ) then
               et.trap_SendConsoleCommand(et.EXEC_NOW, "cp works")
               return 1
          end
     return 0
end

If you want to use et_ConsoleCommand( command ), I guess some people will be able to help you out, i'm not really good in LUA coding, yet. ^^

This line is great
At the moment i do a workaround with creating an array containing all known GUIDs of our admins.
This line makes it way easier

Sadly there is no possiblity to call a "ClientCommand()" function from a custom shrubbot command, is there?

If i could find a solution for that i would be perfectly satisfied

thank you N!trox

You could scan what the client says to see if:

a) the command matches the text they enter
b) their level is high enough to use it
