So i want to enable a plugin for a player with the flag "a", but all I can seem to find is how to enable commands so only a player with a certain flag can use that command, but not on a plugin level.

I have tried making my own "admin menu" to see if you could enable it through that and only enable it for that player, but either it doesn't work and the plugin doesn't enable for the player or the plugin works, but the whole server can now use it.

Is there a way I can do this, a piece of code i could paste in to the scripting file of the plugin or is it just not possible?

I'm not exactly sure what your issue is but you can identify specific players by using the steamid.
Maybe this helps.

Its not possible to load the plugin for specific player as the plugin loads on the server. You can check if the connected player has a set flag and execute your plugin function based on that.

Show me your code.

1.) Do not give "z" root flag to anyone.
2.) Build just normal admin menu option, with specific access. Restrict with flag "z".
3.) Create admin group, use override to let admin in group to access in menu option, without given a flag "z"


You just need understand more about admin system.

Ozzi... I'm sure there is an answer to your question. However, we don't seem to be understanding exactly what you are trying to do.

You should post your plugin (or a link to it) so we can better understand what you are trying to do. Do you want ALL players with the 'a' flag to use the command/plugin, or just player Bob with flag 'a'?

So i tried following a guide on how to create your own admin menu

adminmenu_custom.txt

"Commands"
{
	"vip" 
	{
		"Show Damage" 
		{
			"cmd"			"@1"
			"admin"			"vip"
			"execute" 		"player"
			"1"
			{
				"title" 	"Show Damage"
				"type"		"list"
				"1"			"sm_show_damage 1"
				"1."		"Enable"
                "1"			"sm_show_damage 0"
				"1."		"Disable"
			}
		}

adminmenu_sorting.txt

/**
 * The default sorting is designed to look familiar to Mani's admin menu.
 * You may re-order items here for your own menu.  Any items not explicitly 
 * sorted will be sorted by their final translated phrases for each given client.
 */

"Menu"
{
	"PlayerCommands"
	{
		"item"		"sm_slay"
		"item"		"sm_slap"
		"item"		"sm_kick"
		"item"		"sm_ban"
		"item"		"sm_gag"
		"item"		"sm_burn"		
		"item"		"sm_beacon"
		"item"		"sm_freeze"
		"item"		"sm_timebomb"
		"item"		"sm_firebomb"
		"item"		"sm_freezebomb"
	}

	"ServerCommands"
	{
		"item"		"sm_map"
		"item"		"sm_execcfg"
		"item"		"sm_reloadadmins"
	}

	"VotingCommands"
	{
		"item"		"sm_cancelvote"
		"item"		"sm_votemap"
		"item"		"sm_votekick"
		"item"		"sm_voteban"
	}
    
    "Vip Menu"
	{
		"item"		"Show Damage"
	}
}

I have tried implementing it into the server, but when i press enable nothing happens.

Hope it help.

We don't know your SourceMod plugins. It depends how plugin have made to work.

I have huge doubt that plugin what you are trying to use is not working like you wanted.
Guess is, sm_show_damage is console variable (cvar), and it work only from server console.
And it just enable/disable messages from all players.
- I could be wrong.

You need clarify more what you want exactly. Or what plugins you are using.
You maybe need as custom plugin for your purpose.


Anyway.
I demonstrate what you can do with SourceMod admin system.

/**
 * USE THIS SECTION TO DECLARE DETAILED ADMIN PROPERTIES.
 *
 * Each admin should have its own "Admin" section, followed by a name.
 * The name does not have to be unique.

 * Available properties: (Anything else is filtered as custom)
 *      "auth"          - REQUIRED - Auth method to use.  Built-in methods are:
 *                        "steam"  - Steam based authentication
 *                        "name"   - Name based authentication
 *                        "ip"	- IP based authentication
 *                        Anything else is treated as custom.
 *					 Note: Only one auth method is allowed per entry.
 *
 *      "identity"      - REQUIRED - Identification string, for example, a steamid or name.
 *					 Note: Only one identity is allowed per entry.
 *
 *      "password"      - Optional password to require.
 *      "group"         - Adds one group to the user's group table.
 *      "flags"         - Adds one or more flags to the user's permissions.
 *		"immunity"		- Sets the user's immunity level (0 = no immunity).
 *						  Immunity can be any value.  Admins with higher 
 *						  values cannot be targetted.  See sm_immunity_mode

		"flags"			"abcdef"
