Hey guys, so yesterday i was browsing the Wiki and was looking into some standard TTT functions and hooks etc. and i founded this one "ply:IsActiveTraitor()" at the disguiser code.

My question is does this work for Detective too?

Because i made this code but it doesnt seem to work:


local function Detectivemodel(ply)
  if IsValid(ply) and ply:IsActiveDetective() then
  ply:SetModel ( "models/player/gman_high.mdl" )
  end
  end
  hook.Add( "TTTBeginRound", "Detectivemodel", "Detectivemodel" )  

I tried put them into lua/autorun  - lua/autorun/server and autorun/client all 3 dint seem to work?

Thanks ^^

the hook "TTTBeginRound" does not return any player object values, thus ply will be nill and your script wont work.

You can probably try overriding the default ttt model set function.

Try the following code:


function GM:PlayerSetModel(ply)
  if ply:IsActiveDetective() then
       ply:SetModel ( "models/player/gman_high.mdl" )
  else
       local mdl = GAMEMODE.playermodel or "models/player/phoenix.mdl"
       util.PrecacheModel(mdl)
       ply:SetModel(mdl)
   end
end


I am not sure if this will fully work, worth a shot tho.

Instead of overriding, you can use the default gmod PlayerSetModel hook. TTT calls it just like gmod calls it. TTT's GM:PlayerSetModel function only runs if there is no hook that returns true for that player.

local function DetectiveModel(ply)
  if IsValid(ply) and ply:IsActiveDetective() then
     ply:SetModel ( "models/player/gman_high.mdl" )

     -- Important: if you do not return true, TTT will set a model for the player, overriding yours
     return true
  end
end
hook.Add( "PlayerSetModel", "Detectivemodel", DetectiveModel )


This won't work in this case, however: PlayerSetModel is called when players spawn. At that point, traitors and detectives have not been selected yet. You have to hook TTTBeginRound and loop over all players, check if they're detective, and change their model.

Excuse me if im wrong Bad King but then it would be:


local function DetectiveModel()
   for k,v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
       if v:GetDetective() then
           v:SetModel ( "models/player/gman_high.mdl" )
return true
end
end
end
hook.Add( "TTTBeginRound", "Detectivemodel", Detectivemodel )
