A couple of coding related questions.

[phoenixf129]

nope

hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "Kill and RDM Checker", function(vic, infl, att)
	if (vic.was_headshot == true) then
		print("Headpop Debug OK!")
                timer.Simple(0, function()
		        local rag = vic.server_ragdoll
		        rag:SetNetworkedInt( "InflateSize"..rag:LookupBone("ValveBiped.Bip01_Head1"), -100 )
                end
	end
end

Didn't work either... I can't understand why.

[Kazaki]

ur missing a ")" in the end i think xD

[phoenixf129]

Indeed I am. Thanks for spotting! Now I feel like a right numpty. Weird Garry's Mod didn't give me a lua error though. Thanks!

[Kazaki]

Hook 'PlDeath' Failed: [addons\quakesmod2 ttt style\lua\autorun\server\quakerage.lua:52] attempt to call method 'IsActiveTraitor' (a nil value)

This error seems to appear when someone is killed by the World or if some1 is slayn via-admin commands but it only happens sometimes...

this is line 52:

if ( ( Killer:IsActiveTraitor() and Victim:IsActiveTraitor() ) or ( !Killer:IsActiveTraitor() and !Victim:IsActiveTraitor() ) ) and ( Killer ~= Victim ) then

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

Also a small question: Is it possible to test/use the .GetPData .setPData methods if u run a listen server ?

like on this example that shows a players STEAMID when he leaves:

hook.Add( "PlayerDisconnected", "PlDisc", function( pl )
 
        for _, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
			if ( v:GetPData("ShowSid") == 1 ) then
                v:ChatPrint( pl:GetName().. ": " ..pl:SteamID() )
			end
        end

end )

hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "PlSaytwo", function (ply, msg, team)
	if msg == "!hidesid" then
		ply:SetPData("HideSid",0)
		ply:ChatPrint( "Disabled ShowSid" )
	end
	if msg == "!showsid" then
		ply:SetPData("ShowSid",1)
		ply:ChatPrint( "Enabled ShowSid" )
	end
end )

[Kazaki]

Better Does Pdata even work lol ?

I have tried everything!

and this:

hook.Add( "PlayerDisconnected", "PlDisctwo", function( pl )
 
    for _, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
		if ( v:GetPData("ShowSid") == 1 ) then
				v:ChatPrint( pl:GetName().. ": " ..pl:SteamID() )
		end
    end

end )

hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "PlSaytwo", function (ply, msg, team)
	if msg == "!hidesid" then
		ply:SetPData("ShowSid",0)
		ply:ChatPrint( "Disabled ShowSid" )
	end
	if msg == "!showsid" then
		ply:SetPData("ShowSid",1)
		ply:ChatPrint( "Enabled ShowSid" )
	end
	
	
end )

doesn't work =(

Works for me in the karma system. Don't see anything obviously wrong with that code. Then again, you didn't give much info other than "it doesn't work".

Piece of advice, and this goes to anyone asking me questions: I'm not going to test out your code. I will tell you if I see an issue when looking over the code. The more information you give, the more likely I am to see the problem. Pasting a slab of code and going "doesn't work" is not very productive. In fact, it annoys and demotivates me, because it makes it unnecessarily difficult to help.

Add print() statements, see what happens in the code, what the values are of different things. For example, print(v:GetPData("ShowSid")). Now you know if anything is being saved. Does PData work on listen servers? Try it out. This is not rocket science, this is incredibly simple, basic debugging.

From now on, I will not help anyone who either does not try to debug the problem, or does not show he has done so by writing down what he found. It is a complete waste of my time.

Again, the above is directed at nearly every person who has ever asked me a Lua question. I get that the gmod lua community is full of teenagers who are only just learning to program, but come on. Be respectful of the person who is spending his free time helping you, and gather all the information you can to help that person help you.

When you do so, you might find you solve most problems before you even need to ask a question.

Sorry i forgot to mention more details.

Yes the Script is beeing ran ( verified because if I type !showsid or !hidesid I'll get the corrusponding Chatprint ).

The lua file is placed in autorun/server/

I believe that the main problem here is that the PData isn't beeing set. [Hook 'PlDisctwo' Failed: [addons\steamidonleave\lua\autorun\server\steamidtonleave.lua:5] attempt to call global 'GetPData' (a nil value)]

It clearly says in the wiki

http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Player.SetPData

Syntax player.SetPData( String PData, VarValue )

so i this rly doesn't make any sense....

[Bad King Urgrain]

Try checking whether the players are valid. You are using player.GetAll() in the disconnect hook, so the disconnecting player might be gone but still present in the list of players. So check if IsValid(v) and v:IsPlayer() before calling v:GetPData.

It is a strange error, this would be my best guess.

[Kazaki]

still the same thing... it is simply not working... this works with Entity.SetNetworkedInt but NetworkedInt is not stored... and i don't want players to have to type the command every time a server changes map  or restarts


http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Entity.SetNWInt

-------

EDIT:

nvm! appearently when using the  GetPData  I had to type:

if (v:GetPData("ShowSid") == "1" ) then

"1"

[Bad King Urgrain]

You can also use tonumber(v:GetPData(..)) to get a number out of it. I just noticed that's what I do in the karma code as well, guess I missed it when I looked last time.

Hello again.

I'd like to know if there is any way to confirm that Traitors have lost/won the round in the  TTTEndRound Hook

My objective: If the traitors lose in less than 20 seconds after the round started... every1 gets the message: "The traitors have failed!"

I have tried alooot of stuff and ive concluded that at the TTTEndRound Hook no player can be confirmed as traitor ( *:IsActiveTraitor) using this:

hook.Add( "TTTBeginRound", "TTT_kazquake_beginround", function()

	FailTimer = CurTime()

end )


hook.Add( "TTTEndRound", "TTT_kazquake_endround", function()
	
	for _, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
		if v:IsActiveTraitor() then
			Traitorsalive = Traitorsalive + 1
		end
	end
	
	--If Traitorsalive == 0, then the traitors lost, ect...
	
	if !Traitorsalive then
		Traitorsalive = 0
	end
	
	local currenttime = CurTime()
	if (Traitorsalive == 0) and ( currenttime < FailTimer + 20 ) then
		for _, pla in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
			pla:ChatPrint("The traitors have failed!")
		end
	end
	
	
	---- This resulted in the Traitorsalive == 0 always beeing true even when the traitors win ( which is wrong ).
	
end )

so i was hoping of beeing able to do this in a simpler way.

[Bad King Urgrain]

TTTEndRound has a parameter that tells you who won. Do a search on this subforum for "TTTEndRound" and you'll find about 50 examples where I explain how to use it.

Is it possible to edit fretta's votesystem map list ?

like for example: make it show 5 maps only or pick what maps you want it to show.

[Bad King Urgrain]

Theoretically, yes, but it would be rather difficult.

[Kazaki]

actually found a easy way to do it lol

-- in the fretta sv_gmchanger.lua
local AllMaps = file.Find( "maps/*.bsp", true )

--just do this right after
local numofmaps = math.Round(table.Count(AllMaps) / 1.3)
for i=1,numofmaps do
table.remove(AllMaps, math.random(1,table.Count(AllMaps)))
end

--it will remove a percetange of the maps
