Some problems with a gamemode

[Melonstrike]

Hello, I'm creating a gamemode (Oh and I'm deriving sandbox) for a friend and I've encountered two errors which I don't understand:

1.[FIXED] When muting a player (preventing them from typing) it stops me spawning npcs with the following error, even if I un-mute them:
[gamemodes\sandbox\gamemode\commands.lua:281] attempt to call field 'Get' (a nil value)

The code that I used to mute a player is as thus:
(PlayerExist just verifies if they are on the server, which works fine)

--- The command---

[lua]function mute (ply, command, args)
if (ply:IsAdmin() or ply:IsSuperAdmin()) then
playerExist(ply, args[1])
if (found[1] ==1) then
ply.muted = found[2]
list = player.GetAll()
for k, v in pairs (list) do
v:PrintMessage ( HUD_PRINTTALK, found[2]:Nick() .. " has been muted")
end
else
ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Player Not found")
end
end
end

concommand.Add("mute",mute)[/lua]

--- the hook --
[lua]
function muted (ply, text, team) --PROBLEM
if (ply.muted == ply) then
print ("MUTED")
if SERVER then return false end
end
end

hook.Add("PlayerSay", "muted", muted)
[/lua]
According to the wiki and other gamemodes this should work, but I must be missing something.

2. I'm trying to implement a script to slow down the player if they sprint too long (stamina bar) and no matter how I try to code it their speed never decreases:

--- cl.init---
[lua]
if (StaminaVal <0.1) then
RunConsoleCommand ("awbdh5w4wt5gsrteyqqw3464756w43ege5y453256",1)
elseif (StaminaVal > 0.2 ) then
RunConsoleCommand ("awbdh5w4wt5gsrteyqqw3464756w43ege5y453256",0)
end
[/lua]

---init.lua---
[lua]
function slooooow (ply)
print (player.slow)
if (player.slow == 1.00) then
ply:SetRunSpeed(200)
end
if (player.slow == 0.00) then
ply:SetRunSpeed(400)
end
end

hook.Add("PlayerFootstep", "slow", slooooow)

function initSlow (ply, command, args)
player.slow = args[1]
end

concommand.Add("awbdh5w4wt5gsrteyqqw3464756w43ege5y453256",initSlow)
[/lua]

Additionally I've tried setting up a shared file that is included by both cl.init and init so that I can share a variable between them but to no success, if there is a easy way to share variables securely without having to rely on concommand it'd be appreciated.

3. I have also got an issue with animations, is there a quick fix for player models as from what I'm told NPC animations simply T pose when put onto players, yet I see servers get away with this without the individual models being re-rigged?

4.[FIXED] (Sorry for the recent edits keep thinking of ideas I needed to fix since the FP email verification system was borked) I also can't recall where to find a fix so that while in noclip you can't be shot or harmed in any way, ideally I don't want to use a temporary god mode as they will still stop bullets or so forth, currently for noclip I have:
(the model is just an invisible player model)
[lua]
function Nonoclip (ply)
if (ply:IsAdmin() or ply:IsSuperAdmin()) then
if (ply:GetMoveType() == MOVETYPE_WALK) then
ply.HoldModel = ply:GetModel()
ply:SetModel("models/player/invisible.mdl")
-- also need to make viewing titles invisible as well later
end
if (ply:GetMoveType() == MOVETYPE_NOCLIP) then
ply:SetModel(ply.HoldModel)
-- vice versa to above commnemt
end
return true
else
return false
end
end
hook.Add("PlayerNoClip","Nonoclip",Nonoclip)
[/lua]

5. If I want to create my own scoreboard, is it derma related and what hooks will I need to use to overwrite the standard one (or do I block the standard one and just somehow bind the standard key to this)?

[MakeR]

For your first question, on line 6 of the code snippet you posted you are overriding the list library, this is causing other scripts that use the list library to break.

[Melonstrike]

Ah, thanks I'll edit that and try it out later.

Also a friend suggested a fix for the noclip:

[lua]
function Nonoclip (ply)
if (ply:IsAdmin() or ply:IsSuperAdmin()) then
if (ply:GetMoveType() == MOVETYPE_WALK) then
ply.HoldModel = ply:GetModel()
ply:SetModel("models/player/invisible.mdl")
ply:SetNotSolid(true)
ply:GodEnable()
-- also need to make viewing titles invisible as well later
end
if (ply:GetMoveType() == MOVETYPE_NOCLIP) then
ply:SetModel(ply.HoldModel)
ply:SetNotSolid(false)
ply:GodDisable()
-- vice versa to above commnemt
end
return true
else
return false
end
end
hook.Add("PlayerNoClip","Nonoclip",Nonoclip)
[/lua]
I haven't tested it as of yet.

[MakeR]

Make the list variable local.

[Melonstrike]

I decided to use a different name just encase I accidently remove local or so forth (I also made it local as well)

[Melonstrike]

Sorry to bump, but some issues are still present and if you use gmatch does it just use regular expression?

[MakeR]

[QUOTE=Melonstrike;27497266]Sorry to bump, but some issues are still present and if you use gmatch does it just use regular expression?[/QUOTE]

Yes it does.

Well, it uses pattern matching quite similar to regular expression.

[Melonstrike]

Thanks, guess learning regular expressions won't be wasted after all :)

Any idea on how to create the icons in the QMenu for entities (entity/entity)? (Also, still need help with problems 2,3 and 5 in the OP)

[zzaacckk]

^ = SpawnIcon

Also, clients can see what console commands you run on them.

SpawnIcons are not what I'm looking for that's for derma and I need it for the standard gmod Q menu entity section.
