Solved Add/delete/modify config file from chat command (Lua)

Hi Guys,

I wanted to upgrade my vipname.lua plugin to allow admins to add users from the command line (CHAT), is there a way to do this? Can you guys show me how?

I would like to add / delete SteamIDs to eg.: Vips list that's one thing, and another, I would like to modify any Setting values for eg.: AddOther3Tag": "false" change to "true", how do I go about it? Thanks.

My config file looks like this:

Code:

{
  "Settings": {
    "AddAdminTag": "true",
    "Other2Tag": " ]Other2[",
    "AddOther2Tag": "false",
    "VipTag": " -ViP-",
    "AdminTag": "[Admin] ",
    "AddVipTag": "true",
    "AddOther3Tag": "false",
    "Other1Tag": " ]Other1[",
    "AddOther1Tag": "false",
    "Other3Tag": " ]Other3["
  },
  "Other1": [],
  "Other2": [],
  "Other3": [],
  "Admins": [
    "12312312312312333",
    "12312312312312333",
    "12312312312312333"
  ],
  "Vips": [
    "12312312312312333",
    "12312312312312333",
    "12312312312312333",
    "12312312312312333",
    "12312312312312333"
  ]
}

Cool, how about adding an item to the list?

 

Depends on how you have the config item you want to push stuff too, I wouldn't recommend sending things to the config as its only loaded once upon plugin initiation.

The user would have to then reboot your plugin in order to use the new data anyway, when they can just change it or add it into the config manually and then reboot the plugin.

 

Thats not true. You can easily change config values on the fly without restarting the plugin.

 

This works, however it does not add to the list but overrides the list, is there a way to add it to it or do I need to iterate over the list and add all the items from current list and then add the new one?

or can I do something like self.Config.Admins = self.Config.Admins .. ",\"" .. args[1] .. "\"" and then write it...

I'll try and see...

Thanks.

 

It's a lua table you can do pretty much anything you want to it.

 

Well I can't get it to work....

I wrote the following function and it blows up on me....

Code:

function PLUGIN:cmdAddVip(player, cmd, args)
    local newVipList = ""
    local i = 1
    for _, value in pairs(self.Config.Vips) do
        print("*** Value = " .. value )
        if i == 1 then
            newVipList = newVipList .. "\"" .. value .. "\""
            i = 0
        else 
            newVipList = newVipList .. ",\"" .. value .. "\""
       end
    end
   
    -- now let's add our new SteamID to it
    newVipList = newVipList .. ",\"" .. args[1] .. "\"" 
       
    print("*** newVipList = " .. newVipList )
   
    self.Config.Vips = { newVipList }
    self:SaveConfig()
   
    rust.SendChatMessage(player, "<color=#01DF3A>VIP Added!</color>")
end

This is the error I'm getting:

Code:

Please help....

 

Like Hatemail said you just had to google "lua tables".
table.insert() is what you're looking for.
