team.SetUp colors not working

[Wimoweh]

So I have three teams, Red, Green, and Blue. But the team.SetUp Color(x,x,x,x) doesn't work. Red team gets a bright blue, Blue team gets orange, and Green team gets pink, and I don't see anywhere else in the code that says team.Setup(blah blah blah). What's wrong?

team.SetUp( 1, "Red", Color( 255, 15, 15, 255) )
team.SetUp( 2, "Blue", Color( 15, 15, 255, 255) )
team.SetUp( 3, "Green", Color( 15, 155, 15, 255) )
team.SetUp( 4, "Joining", Color( 50, 50, 50, 255) )
team.SetUp( 5, "BOT", Color( 50, 50, 50, 255) )

[Rubat]

Show how you retrieve the color and how you use it.

[Wimoweh]

What do you mean? The way the code is used is in my team codes, which are these:

Cl_init.lua

include( 'shared.lua' )

function set_team()
 
local frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
frame:SetPos( ScrW() / 2, ScrH() / 2 ) --Set the window in the middle of the players screen/game window
frame:SetSize( 150, 300 ) --Set the size
frame:SetTitle( "Select Your Team!" ) --Set title
frame:SetVisible( true )
frame:SetDraggable( false )
frame:ShowCloseButton( true )
frame:MakePopup()
 
team_1 = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame )
team_1:SetPos( frame:GetTall() / 4, 5 ) --Place it half way on the tall and 5 units in horizontal
team_1:SetSize( 150, 100 )
team_1:SetText( "Red Army!" )
team_1.DoClick = function() --Make the player join team 1
    RunConsoleCommand( "red" )
	frame:Remove()
	team_1:Remove()
	team_2:Remove()
	team_3:Remove()
end
 
team_2 = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame )
team_2:SetPos( frame:GetTall() / 4, 105 ) --Place it next to our previous one
team_2:SetSize( 150, 100 )
team_2:SetText( "Blue Army!" )
team_2.DoClick = function() --Make the player join team 2
    RunConsoleCommand( "blue" )
	frame:Remove()
	team_1:Remove()
	team_2:Remove()
	team_3:Remove()
end

team_3 = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame )
team_3:SetPos( frame:GetTall() / 4, 205 ) --Place it next to our previous one
team_3:SetSize( 150, 100 )
team_3:SetText( "Green Army!" )
team_3.DoClick = function() --Make the player join team 2
    RunConsoleCommand( "green" )
	frame:Remove()
	team_1:Remove()
	team_2:Remove()
	team_3:Remove()
end
 
end
concommand.Add( "team_menu", set_team )
usermessage.Hook("team_menu", set_team)

then init

function GM:PlayerSpawn( ply )
    self.BaseClass:PlayerSpawn( ply )   
 
    ply:SetGravity  ( .65 )  
    ply:SetMaxHealth( 100, true )  
 
    ply:SetWalkSpeed( 325 )  
    ply:SetRunSpeed ( 325 ) 
 
end

function GM:PlayerLoadout( ply )

	ply:StripWeapons()

	if ply:Team() == 1 then
		ply:Give( "weapon_ttt_ma5b" )
		ply:Give( "weapon_ttt_halosword" )
		ply:Give( "weapon_ttt_m6d" )
		ply:SetModel( "models/player/masterchiefh2_red.mdl" )
	end

	if ply:Team() == 2 then
		ply:Give( "weapon_ttt_ma5b" )
		ply:Give( "weapon_ttt_halosword" )
		ply:Give( "weapon_ttt_m6d" )
		ply:SetModel( "models/player/masterchiefh2_blue.mdl" )
	end
	
	if ply:Team() == 3 then
		ply:Give( "weapon_ttt_ma5b" )
		ply:Give( "weapon_ttt_halosword" )
		ply:Give( "weapon_ttt_m6d" )
		ply:SetModel( "models/Halo4/masterchief_player.mdl" )

end

function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )
	   ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Welcome to Red Vs. Blue, Spartan " .. ply:Name() .. "!" )
	   ply:SetTeam( 4 )
	   ply:ConCommand( "team_menu" )
end

then sv_teams

function red ( ply )
	ply:SetTeam( 1 )
		ply:Spawn()
		ply:SetModel( "models/player/masterchiefh2_red.mdl" )
		ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Welcome to Red Team, Spartan " .. ply:Name() .. "!" )
end

function blue ( ply )
	ply:SetTeam( 2 )
		ply:Spawn()
		ply:SetModel( "models/player/masterchiefh2_blue.mdl" )
		ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Welcome to Blue Team, Spartan " .. ply:Name() .. "!" )
end

function green ( ply )
	ply:SetTeam( 3 )
		ply:Spawn()
		ply:SetModel( "models/Halo4/masterchief_player.mdl" )
		ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Welcome to Green Team, Spartan " .. ply:Name() .. "!" )
end

function GM:ShowTeam( ply ) -- This hook is called everytime F2 is pressed.
    umsg.Start( "team_menu", ply ) -- Sending a message to the client.
    umsg.End()
end --Ends function

concommand.Add( "red", red )
concommand.Add( "blue", blue )
concommand.Add( "green", green )

and the team.setups from before are in my shared.lua. I don't see anything overwriting them though.

[Rubat]

Exactly where the colors are are incorrect and how you retrieve the colors there?

[Wimoweh]

I don't know, there is nowhere else that calls team colors except for the one in the op, and yet the colors all off. Red is blue instead of red, blue is orange instead of blue and green is pink instead of green. I even changed the values to see if it was using something other than RGBA, but they stayed the same. I don't know why.

[Rubat]

OMG, Can't you understand what am I saying?

[B]I want you to tell me where are you seeing the wrong colors? Scoreboard? Chat? WHERE!?[/B]

[Wimoweh]

Oh I'm sorry, I actually didn't. (No sarcasm, I seriously didn't understand what you were asking) the issues arise in chat, as the scoreboard is still default sandbox atm. The chat colors for the teams are what's not working.

[Rubat]

And the team.SetUp functions are called both, on the server and client?

I agree, I still use the old one because I just can't read the new one :/

[Acecool]

Running this code works flawlessly. It prints the text in RED, which is what was set up as the team-color. As said before, you need to set it up on the CLIENT and on the SERVER, otherwise it will not work.

[lua]MY_TEAM = 1;

// team.SetUp( number teamIndex, string teamName, Color teamColor, boolean teamJoinable ) // Just because you set a team as non-joinable, doesn't mean you can't use PLAYER:SetTeam( MY_TEAM ) on the server.
team.SetUp( MY_TEAM, "My Team", Color( 255, 0, 0, 255 ), false );

// team.GetColor( number teamIndex )
MsgC( team.GetColor( MY_TEAM ), "My Team Color is RED!\n" );[/lua]

Instead of bitching you should move info from old to the new.

If you look at the BOTTOM of the page, it will say something like:

Client Functions, Client Hooks, Client, Shared Functions, Shared Hooks, Shared, Server Functions, Server Hooks, Server.

Realm is in the new Wiki and it gives you a link to VIEW ALL of them!

I just added a new DataType/Structure today, and updated a function. If everyone updates something once a week, or so, we can get this Wiki slam packed full of information really quickly!

You totally fucked up the "new" structure though, it already exits here: [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Structures/TextureData[/url]

Please look at other examples before you do something. Thanks.

[Wimoweh]

What hell happened here while I was gone? But I do have the team.setup in shared.lua, and both cl_init an init include it. I don't understand why gmod is being such a pain.

[Rubat]

Do you do AddCSLuaFile("shared.lua") in your init.lua?

[Wimoweh]

I don't have addcsluafile, but I have include shared.lua in both init and cl_init, and the teams do work, just not their colors.

[Rubat]

You must have AddCSLuaFile("shared.lua") in your init.lua, so the shared.lua is sent to client.

I didn't do anything wrong with the new structure. I followed the link which was automatically generated by the wiki ( when it was automatically populated, I'm assuming? ) which stated that the structure didn't exist. I then copied the layout from a structure and filled in all of the blanks. Mine looked almost identical to that one you posted except for the order and I didn't put the default color and I even posted an example, that's hardly "fucked up the new structure". So please don't say that I "fucked" something up when I clearly didn't mess up the layout. Ok, so it may have been added twice but the automatically generated link on the wiki which said that it didn't exist should be fixed in the template. Going to see if I can find another one and then edit the template.

Next time don't delete it outright, merge it. And, I followed the link which was automatically generated by the wiki for the structure. Those should be fixed.

Also, to make it easier, and be on-topic, if you use AddCSLuaFile( ) without any arguments in the file you want the client to download and include it on the server, and then on the client, you don't have to do anything else. ( You can do this because it's shared )

EDIT: Here's another one that points to category instead of structure: [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/draw/TextShadow[/url]

We need to fix it so that arguments point to structures if the categories don't exist? Or make it so that ALL of those are structures and not categories, since a DataType is closer to a structure ( really LOW LEVEL )

[Wimoweh]

So would I put the "AddCSLuaFile ()" in shared.lua, or do "AddCSLuaFile (shared.lua)" in the init.lua?

[Acecool]

[QUOTE=Wimoweh;42349631]So would I put the "AddCSLuaFile ()" in shared.lua, or do "AddCSLuaFile (shared.lua)" in the init.lua?[/QUOTE]

AddCSLuaFile( ); in shared.lua

include( "shared.lua"); in cl_init.lua and init.lua

Sorry, by "fucked up" I meant "this isn't how it is supposed to be done".
If it is a structure, you don't put it's name into the type, because the type is table. Instead we make a link to the structure using {{Struct|MyStructure}}

[Acecool]

Sounds good, if I find others like that I'll update. It's just that I followed the link which is automatically set to a Category instead of a structure due to how the template is written. It'd be nice for the wiki to automatically check for Categories first, if not exists then check Structures, if not exists then create a link to both?

I appreciate the clarification :-)

[Wimoweh]

This is really pissing me off, it's still not working. I added the AddCSLuaFile in shared, though I don't think it's something like that. I can't find anything else that's changing the team colors. Can you check it and see if I did something wrong unknowingly, if it wouldn't be too much trouble?
