Check directory

Is there a way to check if a directory exists? What I mean more specifically is if I were trying to make something run on the condition that the server has a specific plugin, is there a way to check if the server has this plugin/it's directory?

 

Ah great, that's perfect thank you.

EDIT: Is there a way I could go about changing one ENT: function of a plugin made entity using another plugin? What I'm wanting is that my Unit ID plugin which makes UID Cards that grant access to combine locks and doors could be used to open a Union Lock, however as this is by another author I cannot make it work directly with my plugin. Is this even possible?

 

You're close, I could copy and paste the union lock code, as the lock determines the conditions for it to be opened, however I was hoping to find a way where I wouldn't have to do that. Not sure if it's possible.

On the topic though, I actually need to be able to check directories now, as the idea of what I have is that if a .txt file with a certain name does not exist, then create a file, however if that txt does exist, I want to be able to rename it.

 

Seems to be as simple as

Code:

file.Exists( string name, string path )

Thanks.

 

Agreed. Unfortunately I've come up with another issue, using this command this time:

Code:

local ClockworkFileExists = file.Exists;
function file.Exists(filePath, searchPath)
	if (ClockworkFileExists(filePath, searchPath)) then
		return true;
	else
		local files, folders = file.Find(filePath, searchPath);

		if (#files > 0) then
			return true;
		end;
	end;
	
	return false;
end;

The error I get is with the line

Code:

if (#files > 0) then

It tells me: attempt to get length of local 'files' <a nil value>. What this makes me assume is that as the file does not exist it is sending an error at that rather than returning false. According to commenting this function was designed to fix the fact that file.Exists didn't work for lua. Any help?
