Inaccessible settings · ehud - Perfect UI solution | DarkRP, Weapon HUD, Doors, Player 3D2D, Settings

This topic is needed if you want to make some settings inaccessible to normal players.

Getting Started

The addon creates a unique server-side variable svuid at first startup, which is transferred to the players when they connects. This way the addon understands which config from the data folder should be used.

If you have added / deleted / made important changes, you may need to change the svuid so that all players start using the new config (does not apply to players who first logged into the server). To do this, go to the server folder, go to garrysmod\data\sv_esclib, delete the server_uid.json file and restart the server. In this way you will update the settings of all players, resetting them to the base (from your config)

Let's do this using the modules tab as an example:

Basic modules layout

---------------

/// MODULES ///

---------------

--tab creating

local tab = settings:AddTab("modules") --uid

tab:SetNameTranslateKey("tab_modules") --key in language file

tab:SetPosition(1) --postion

--adding vars

local var = tab:AddVar("module_hud_leftbot", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_mainhud_name") --key in language file

var:SetValue(ehud.modules["MainHUD"])

local var = tab:AddVar("module_hud_gun", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_gunhud_name")

var:SetValue(ehud.modules["GunHUD"])

local var = tab:AddVar("module_hud_arrested", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_arrestedhud_name")

var:SetValue(ehud.modules["ArrestHUD"])

local var = tab:AddVar("module_hud_doors", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_doorshud_name")

var:SetValue(ehud.modules["DoorsHUD"])

local var = tab:AddVar("module_fpp", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_fpp_name")

var:SetDescTranslateKey("s_fpp_desc")

var:SetValue(ehud.modules["FPPHUD"])

var:CustomCheck(function(self,addon)

return DarkRP ~= nil

end)

local var = tab:AddVar("module_ply_over", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_plyover_name")

var:SetValue(ehud.modules["PlayerOverheadHUD"])

local var = tab:AddVar("module_agenda", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_agenda_name")

var:SetValue(ehud.modules["AgendaHUD"])

--you can use checks for this

if ehud.config.hitmarkers then

local var = tab:AddVar("module_hitmarker", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_hitmark_name")

var:SetDescTranslateKey("s_hitmark_desc")

var:SetValue(ehud.modules["HitmarkHUD"])

end

local var = tab:AddVar("module_voice", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_voice_name")

var:SetValue(ehud.modules["VoiceHUD"])

local var = tab:AddVar("module_lockdown", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_lockdown_name")

var:SetValue(ehud.modules["LockdownHUD"])

local var = tab:AddVar("module_deathscreen", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_deathscreen_name")

var:SetValue(ehud.modules["DeathscreenHUD"])

local var = tab:AddVar("module_notify", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_notify_name")

var:SetValue(ehud.modules["NotifyHUD"])

local var = tab:AddVar("module_crashscreen", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_crash_name")

var:SetDescTranslateKey("s_crash_desc")

var:SetValue(ehud.modules["CrashscreenHUD"])

local var = tab:AddVar("module_vehicle_hud", "bool")

var:SetNameTranslateKey("s_vehicle_name")

var:SetValue(ehud.modules["VehicleHUD"])

Added custom checks

}
