Hello, could anyone tell me how you would read users from another txt file.

Also, I would like to know how you would be able to add types of users (vip,members,etc.) from the server, that's running the script, by saying "!makevip <usgn> or <id>" and "!makemember <usgn> or <id>", which would add the usgns into the txt file.

Currently, this is how the script identifies the users.

cfile = "sys/uconfig.cfg"

ranks = {
	6 = "Super Admin",
	5 = "Admin",
	4 = "Moderator",
	3 = "VIP",

end

function loadFile()

end

loadFile()

function getRank(usgn)
	return users[usgn]
end

function findByUsgn(usgn)
	for _,ply in pairs(player(0,"table")) do
		if player(ply,"usgn")==usgn then
			return ply
		end
	end
	return nil
end

function setUser(usgn,rank) --the rank should be numeric
	users[usgn]=rank
	msg2(findByUsgn(usgn),"©000255000You have been promoted to "..ranks[rank])
end

addhook("say","addusers",10096)
function addusers(id,t)
	if t:sub(1,8)=="!promote" then -- syntax: !promote ID RANK, where ID - player id and rank is numeric rank
		local iid=tonumber(t:sub(9,11))
		local rank=tonumber(t:sub(12))
		setUser(player(iid,"usgn"),rank)
		writeInFile()
	end
end

addhook("join","findplayer")
function findplayer(id)
	if not users[player(id,"usgn")] then
		users[player(id,"usgn")] = 1
	end
end

This should be in the 'sys/uconfig.cfg' file:

1
2
3

users = {
	[7749] = 6 -- example shown on my usgn
}

That's how I did it.

EngiN33R: Thanks, but when I used your code I get this error: "LUA ERROR: sys/lua/users.lua:4: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 3) near '=' "
Could you tell me what to change?

Also in 'my' code, to state an admin's functions, I would've had to write this "if isAdmin(id) then". What would I have to type in your code?

Thanks again.

Oops, my mistake. Put the numbers that go in the ranks table in square brackets (the ones in '6 = "Super Admin"').

You'll need to write the following with my code:

if getRank(player(id,"usgn"))==6 then -- id is player ID, 6 is the numerical rank for super admin - change it to other numbers for other ranks

Yup, it worked. Although, the promote thingy was a bit confusing; I would have to say "!promote <id> 6" to make someone member and 1 to make him superadmin, etc.

No big thing though, I changed the rank order around and everything's perfect.

Thanks EngiN33R.
