Timer for MapChange and Music Player

[lonewolf2]

I'm tired of searching a way to make this. I need help now >:O
I was trying to make the gamemode auto-changes the map after some minutes.
I tried almost everything, but I failed... The other thing is a Music Player.
This one wasn't that hard, yet, people can't hear it, just the server owner:
[lua]TableRandomSounds = {
Sound("/music/castle_dark.mp3"),
Sound("/music/rose_a.mp3"),
Sound("/music/haunte.mp3"),
Sound("/music/Silent_Haunting.mp3"),
}

local function StartSound()
local snd = table.Random(TableRandomSounds)
surface.PlaySound( snd )
timer.Simple( SoundDuration( snd ), StartSound )
end

function GM:Initialize()
StartSound()
end [/lua]
I'll wait for an answer >:O

[lua]
local MAP_CHANGEMINUTES = 5
local level = "gm_construct"
timer.Create("mapChange",MAP_CHANGEMINUTES * 60,1,function() game.ConsoleCommand("changelevel "..level.."\n") end)[/lua]

Kinda like that.

For your other problem, it's because you're running it on GM:Initialize. If you're not on the server when the gamemode begins, then it won't work. Try using PlayerInitialSpawn instead (it's serverside, mind you).

I'll check this out, but now I need a menu that shows you the time, is it possible to put it on a Derma menu?
Also, how to make a list of maps?

[lonewolf2]

Comeon! No one got an Idea?!
Also, what you said about the music player doesn't work...

Use the InitPostEntity hook rather than Initialize

Ok I'll check that out thanks, but what about the menu?

Why dont you try looking up stuff your self on the wiki instead of asking about ever little thing

If you are so genius to find even Wiki stuff that isn't written on the Wiki then why don't post them here? :argh:

Not written on the wiki??

I guess you are still trying to print the time left in a menu

[lonewolf2]

I asked [B]how to put it[/B] in a derma menu, not how to make a derma menu.

Well as you cant print a timer directly use [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=G.CurTime[/url]

[lonewolf2]

Uhm... tell me if this is right...
[lua]function WhenGameStarts()
GameTimer()
end

function GameTimer()

YourFrame = = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
YourFrame:SetPos( 200, 200 )
YourFrame:SetSize( 300, 300 )
YourFrame:SetTitle( "Current time: " .. CurTime() .. "\n" )
YourFrame:SetVisible( true )
YourFrame:MakePopup()

function YourFrame:Paint()
surface.SetDrawColor( 0, 0, 0, 255 )
surface.DrawRect( 0, 0, YourFrame:GetWide(), YourFrame:GetTall() )
end
gui.EnableScreenClicker( false )
gui.SetMousePos( ScrW() / 2, ScrH() / 2 )

end

timer.Simple( 3, function()
WhenGameStarts()
GameTimer()
end )[/lua]
Shall I put it in [B]cl_init [/B]? Because I just added it through [B]include[/B]...
:question:

[editline]ahah :P[/editline]
Oh well, I found another way to print the time.
Well, if you found a way to print it on Derma tell me!

I'll ask you guys another thing so I don't have to make a new thread:
I tried to make NPCs count as kill in my Gamemode with this:
[lua]function GM:OnNPCKilled(ent, attacker, inflictor)
if attacker:IsPlayer() and attacker:Team() == TEAM_BLUE then
attacker:AddFrags(1)
self:CheckPlayerScore(attacker)
end
end[/lua]
But it doesn't work :crying:

DLabel or override the DFrame's paint function.

[i]or[/i] if you wanted to do it the way you laid out in the code, set the frame title in a think function.

[lonewolf2]

[lua]function WhenGameStarts()
GameTimer()
end

function GameTimer()

YourFrame = = vgui.Create("DLabel", myParent)
YourFrame:SetText("Time passed: " .. CurTime() .. "\n")
YourFrame:SizeToContents()
gui.EnableScreenClicker( false )
gui.SetMousePos( ScrW() / 2, ScrH() / 2 )

end

timer.Simple( 3, function()
WhenGameStarts()
GameTimer()
end )[/lua] Not working :crying:
Anyway, what about the NPC's kill? :mad:

[|FlapJack|]

The NPC kill code looks like it should work. Make sure the player is on TEAM_BLUE.

Also, use timer.Create instead of timer.Simple.

Come on guys, I just need this :comeback:
