Making players spawn with a default weapon (TTT)

[Peanutcarl]

Hello, I've been trying to figure this out with no success, I made a code which is unfinished that currently has only 2 usergroups (enough for testing I guess) but none of them spawn with the desired weapon and the console doesn't show any error on it. I'm using ulx. Is there anything wrong with this?

if (SERVER) then
	AddCSLuaFile("admingunspawn.lua")
end

local function GiveWeapon( ply )
		if ply:Team() == 1 then
			if ply:CheckGroup("owner") then
				ply:Give("weapon_ttt_pist_weagon")
			elseif ply:CheckGroup("regulars") then
						ply:Give("weapon_ttt_pump_shotgun")
			end
		end
end

I still have to add more groups and stuff, I just wanted to know why it doesn't call any error on me or why it doesn't work, thanks ^.^

And yes, I'm a LUA nub.

You're not calling the function at all. It's there, but it's never used.

Add:
[lua]
hook.Add( "TTTPrepareRound", "GiveOutGuns", GiveWeapon )
[/lua]
You haven't defined ply either, it will return nil.

Do a for.. in loop ( fail example below ):
[lua]
for k,v in pairs ( player:GetAll()) do
if v:IsGroup("owner") then
give weaponx
elseif y
give weaponz
end
end
[/lua]

I have hardly used for in loops, so I don' exactly remember them

I doubt IsGroup is a function, don't use it. Just providing you with a shell.

Aight, I will add the hooks and report back to you ^^ thanks

EDIT: How can I make those loops? I got this error, now I know what you meant.

EDIT: My bad, was in a rush when I posted this.

[LUA]
local function GiveWeapon()
for k,v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do // Loop through the table of players, where k (key) is the player index and v (value) is the actual entity
if v:IsUserGroup("owner") then // If the player is the usergroup
v:Give( "weapon_ttt_pist_weagon" ) // Give the player the admin gun
elseif v:IsUserGroup("regulars") then // else (if the player is not owner, check if they are a regulars - this is a continuation of the first if
v:Give( "weapon_ttt_pump_shotgun" ) // if they are, give them a shotgun
end
end
end
hook.Add( "TTTBeginRound", "GiveOutGuns", GiveWeapon ) -- Hook the function, so it is called when TTT starts the round[/LUA]

You might also want to apply it on round beginning, since some people may die in preround and lose their weapon.

Still, the script returns no errors but it won't do what it is supposed to do, excuse me if I made something wrong, I'm still learning a lot of LUA

EDIT: Error here.

You're trying to run it clientside. Remove: [lua]
if (SERVER) then
AddCSLuaFile("admingunspawn.lua")
end
[/lua]
This is not needed since you're doing no clientside stuff here. Also, if this script is not in lua/autorun/server, move it there. This is all assuming that no clientside processing is going on in your script.

Still, same error, deleted the AddCS

[crazyscouter]

What's the path to the file?

[KarmaLord]

Where is the file located?

Edit: Ninja'd lol

[Peanutcarl]

for the lua? /lua/autorun/

[crazyscouter]

Move it to lua/autorun/server see of it works there.
