# detour

Listeners, Blockers & Overrides for the Garry's Mod functions.
These are C++ made detours using linker, providing you with a unique way of changing the behaviors of functions.
This is not limited to the client-state, we have provided interstate capabilities.

# Example

These are special in a sense they directly hook and change features of Lua from C++, making them untraceable and highly capable of mimicing behaviors.

linker.listener.add("Player.ConCommand", "log", function(trace, command)
    if trace:find("cl_bad.lua") then
        print("cl_bad, ran " .. command)
    end
end)

linker.blocker.add("Player.ConCommand", "blockdis", function(trace, command)
    if trace:find("cl_bad.lua") then
        print("cl_bad tried to run", command)
        return true -- block command
    end
end)
  
linker.override.add("file.Exists", "overridedis", function(trace, filename, pathname)
    if trace:find("cl_bad.lua") then
        return false -- make file.Exists return false
    end
end)
