Need help on a karma code for my self

[simmerdown]

Ok what i need to achief is ( im gonne put it in karma.lua in gamemodes terrortown ):

when player gets karma 700  player gets a fake achiefment style message that their karma is to low and they should watch out,

my idea is like this but it would not work ofcourse bcus im not a lua scripter but then you get an idea of how i kinda want it, i just need a profesional lua coder to help me out to get a working way to do this.. ( using evolve as well or anyhow u could make it to work for me i just show u it how i kinda want it but again im not a lua coder so it WONT logically i know why it wont work bcus the codes are unreal.


this is what i want, im not sure how to , and what the commands in lua are but ill just tell u the basic what i want:

if karma = <700 then
blahblah warn player text colour_red ( visible to all on server) "Warning ( playername) " Colour_Gold "Low karma:  colour_red( current karma level ) Colour_gold  Be Carefull AutoKick is at: Colour_red  ( The karma ammount when kick is enabled)!! "



Warning (playername) Low Karma: (ammount of karma) Be Carefull Autokick is at: (low karma autokick ammount number)

something like that

thank you for your help

I haven't tested, but this should work.

//karma.lua - at the end of the KARMA.ApplyKarma function
	if ply:GetBaseKarma() <= 700 then
		umsg.Start( "LowKarmaWarning", ply )
			umsg.Entity( ply )
		umsg.End()
	end

//cl_init.lua - at the end of the script
local function WarningReceived( data )

	local ply = data:ReadEntity()
	if !IsValid( ply ) then return end

	local color_red = Color(255,0,0)
	local color_gold = Color(255,165,0)

	chat.AddText(
		color_red, "Warning", ply:Nick(),
		color_gold, " Low Karma: ",
		color_red, ply:GetBaseKarma(),
		color_gold, " Be Careful Autokick is at ",
		color_red, GetConVarString( "ttt_karma_low_amount" ) )
end
usermessage.Hook( "LowKarmaWarning", WarningReceived )

Add the code to the files and location specified.

If you get an error, post the exact error message you receive.

ok i need 3 players to test it so it will have to wait, i did it like this did you mean it like this:

init:( lot of more lines abouve this )

                                                                 gui.EnableScreenClicker(false)
                                                              end)
         gui.EnableScreenClicker(true)
      elseif CurTime() > (idle.t + (idle_limit / 2)) then
         -- will repeat
         MSTACK:AddMessage("WARNING: YOU APPEAR TO BE IDLE/AFK, AND WILL BE MADE TO SPECTATE UNLESS YOU SHOW ACTIVITY!")
      end
   end
   local function WarningReceived( data )
	local color_red = Color(255,0,0)
	local color_gold = Color(255,165,0)

	chat.AddText(
		color_red, "Warning", LocalPlayer():Nick(),
		color_gold, " Low Karma: ",
		color_red, data:ReadString(),
		color_gold, "Be Careful Autokick is at",
		color_red, data:ReadString() )
end
usermessage.Hook( "LowKarmaWarning", WarningReceived )
end

karma lua:

function KARMA.ApplyKarma(ply)
   local df = 1

   -- any karma at 1000 or over guarantees a df of 1, only when it's lower do we
   -- need the penalty curve
   if ply:GetBaseKarma() < 1000 then
      df = 1 + -0.0000025 * ((ply:GetBaseKarma() - 1000)^2)
   end

   ply:SetDamageFactor(math.Clamp(df, 0.1, 1.0))

   if IsDebug() then
      print(Format("%s has karma %f and gets df %f", ply:Nick(), ply:GetBaseKarma(), df))
   end
   
   if ply:GetBaseKarma() < 700 then
		umsg.Start( "LowKarmaWarning", ply )
			umsg.String( ply:GetBaseKarma() )
			umsg.String( GetConVarString("ttt_karma_low_amount") )
		umsg.End()
	end

end

Put the section in init.lua at the very bottom of the script, not inside any functions. It should be in it's own section.

Yes.

[Manmax75]

yes, also make sure its cl_init not just init

[simmerdown]

yes, also make sure its cl_init not just init

yes, cl_init.lua i know,




do i have to close the usermessagehook command with end as well?

[Sam]

do i have to close the usermessagehook command with end as well?

Why not just test it out and not tamper with the code I wrote for you? Don't you think I would complete the code for you before I posted it?

[simmerdown]

k ok im soryr i just foudn it weird that on each function there is a end exept for this, sorry for asking.

If you're curious, why not look it up on the GMod Lua wiki? http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Usermessage.Hook

Not everything in Lua has the "function Name() <code> end" format.

EDIT: Fixed the code, if you had errors they may be fixed now.

//karma.lua - at the end of the KARMA.ApplyKarma function
	if ply:GetBaseKarma() <= 700 then
		umsg.Start( "LowKarmaWarning", ply )
			umsg.Entity( ply )
		umsg.End()
	end

//cl_init.lua - at the end of the script
local function WarningReceived( data )

	local ply = data:ReadEntity()
	if !IsValid( ply ) then return end

	local color_red = Color(255,0,0)
	local color_gold = Color(255,165,0)

	chat.AddText(
		color_red, "Warning", ply:Nick(),
		color_gold, " Low Karma: ",
		color_red, ply:GetBaseKarma(),
		color_gold, " Be Careful Autokick is at ",
		color_red, GetConVarString( "ttt_karma_low_amount" ) )
end
usermessage.Hook( "LowKarmaWarning", WarningReceived )

You should be able to test it by yourself. Just type in console bot a couple of times and get your karma low. Also, I will not be able to test with you as I am busy coding my own edit of TTT.

[simmerdown]

only : color_gold, " Be Careful Autokick is at ",


is shown, the ammount isnt shown after it, and for some reason i deleted my whole config file wtf:S i dont know how i did that so i be fixing this i need to find all settings which i had -,- stupit i dont even know why it did this.
