Doorway To Another Server [ ? ]

Hey C16,
I've been brainstorming and have thought up an elaborate idea. Would it be possible to code in a prop, maybe a door, that if you open it will connect you to another server? For example, if would own a Metro server, there would be a door that leads to the surface. Once opened, you would connect to a passworded server which has a surface map. Just an idea, I'll mess around with lua a bit and post updates, tell me what you think!

- Daze ;D

 

SendLua the connect concommand. I think SendLua has little restrictions but I may be wrong.

 

Alright, sounds cool! I'll check it out when I get home, I think this could be a pretty cool thing if it actually works. Thanks!

 

Thanks, I'll be sure to let you guys know. Couldn't I just bind a command to a door prop and use it as an entity? Like "connect IP"?

 

Pretty sure something like ply:ConCommand("connect 123546612:12345") I did come across something like this ages ago, i just cannot find it

 

Ok cool

 

I think that command is restricted.

 

Use this:

Code:

player:SendLua("LocalPlayer():ConCommand('connect <server ip> <password>')")

 

Thanks! Still new to lua, where would I put that line? Do I make a plugin for it?

 

Depends on what you want to do with it.
If you want it to activate when a player uses it, use this.

Code:

function Schema:PlayerUse(player, entity)
	player:SendLua("LocalPlayer():ConCommand('connect <server ip> <password>')")

 

And I put that in which .lua file? In the schema? and how do I specify which prop would use it? Somewhat stupid idea, but, say I were to try and make it a command to use on door props?

 

gamemodes\cwhl2rp\schema\entities\entities\cw_ <entity>\shared.lua

 

No need for LocalPlayer(). Just use RunConsoleCommand.

Also, connect uses arguments, therefore must have a comma.

 

No, it doesn't need a comma. (I've tested this code, it works)

 

Didn't work for me, but then again I used RunConsoleCommand, which is the proper way to go about doing this.

 

It'd be so much easier to implant this in a plugin, after you make the folder for
cw_entity then make a shared Lua,

Then paste that command in it, I still have no idea how to make it work with a prop.

 

Agreed, but I'd like to see it work first in general. I'm going to code this in for my server today.

 

[off topic] Daze, get on steam. We should work on this together.

 

I already made this.

Going to post it when I get home from school.

 

Thanks duck!
