DarkRP /addlaw /placelaw etc is not working

[Alex Munao]

My Mayor can not place a law board or add laws or remove laws

Please help me. Ask me if you need any of my code!

[Alex Munao]

Can anybody help me?

[Pantho]

Are you getting any errors? Need more information really, like a notification saying you're not allowed to spawn these or...?

[SSgt.Alpha]

I know this bug:

- If you clear all props using the server tab menu, it will break the law boards.
- Restart your server.

[Alex Munao]

Hey Guys i am not getting any lua errors.

I have restarted the server a bunch of times.

[SSgt.Alpha]

Hmmmm.......

What files/stuff have you messed with before this started to happen?

Or is this a fresh install?

If you're using a custom mayor job, make sure that you have this stated in the job:
[LUA]mayor = true[/LUA]

As well, if you're using DarkRP 2.5, you can goto the settings.lua file, and find line 191 and check if this is set to something greater than 0:

GM.Config.maxlawboards = 2

[B]Edited:[/B] Sorry for double post, thought I was editing my previous post.

[Alex Munao]

I have not changed any files.

[Zephruz]

Have you tried to do /placelaws?

[Alex Munao]

Yes

[Zephruz]

Well, in the darkrp gamemode, there's a file path: darkp/entities/entities/darkrp_laws/init.lua there are some commands that are defined in the init.lua.
Can you give me the init.lua code that you have?

An important factor to take into consideration is [I]what happens when you try[/I]. A notification probably appears (bottom right). What does it say?

[Alex Munao]

It say's noting when writing the command it basically say's the command in chat.

No messages at all. It's just like a normal chat message.

[Alex Munao]

Can anybody help me fix this?

Sorry about bumping this.

Must mean that the command is not be captured at all. Check for Lua errors in the server console after a server restart.

[Alex Munao]

I have restarted the server and no errors.

What should i do?

[Alex Munao]

Sorry :) Have to get this fixed.

BUMP!

Try adding a fresh version of DarkRP or maybe you have an addon that's conflicting with it (highly doubt it).
