[DamienTehDemo]

I need help! :( Its been a while but im pretty sure im doing everthing right. It wont let me set the GAMEMODE variables. Can you help me? :( ty in advance! :)

--Includes
AddCSLuaFile("../client/cl_armorsystem.lua")
AddCSLuaFile("../share/sh_armorsystem.lua")

--Configuration--
GAMEMODE.armorSets={
	--Format : [NAME]={NAME,resoucecost,armour percent}
	["Leather"]={"Leather",1,10},
	["Mail"]={"Leather",1,10},
	["Plate"]={"Leather",1,10}
}

--Pickup Type ( 0 = Overide previous armor, 1 = Add new armor total to old armor total.)
GAMEMODE.pickupTypes=1;

--Class restricted (set as false if you dont want it to be, but if true set it to the team of the class)

GAMEMODE.classRestricted=false;

--Class Starter Armors (    )
GAMEMODE.classStarterArmor={
-- Format is   { Class Team, Armor Name}
	{"Gun Dealer","Leather"}
}

--End Of Configuration

hook.Add( "PlayerSpawn", "giveStarterArmor",  function(ply)
	for i,v in ipairs(GAMEMODE.classStarterArmor)do
		if(team.GetName(ply:Team())==v[1])then
			ply:giveArmor(v[2])
			print("Gave "..ply:Nick().." Armor ( TYPE : "..v[2]..")!")
		end
	end
end)


 
local plymeta = FindMetaTable("Player")
function plymeta:giveArmor( armorType)
	if(GAMEMODE.pickupTypes==0)then
	local newarmor	= GAMEMODE.armorSets[armorType][3]
	self:SetArmor(newarmor)
	elseif(GAMEMODE.pickupTypes==1)then
	local oldarmor = self:Armor()
	local newarmor	= oldarmor+GAMEMODE.armorSets[armorType][3]
	self:SetArmor(newarmor)
	end
end

Its all in the auto runs if you couldnt tell! :P

why are you storing it inside the gamemode table?

Config = {}
Config.ArmorSets = {
stuff,
stuff2,
}

would work perfectly fine

Gotta access it from a entity. :s

then you can make your table global and you can still acess it

What..? What you mean? O-o Theres a way to make global varaibles?? I thought the global variables were only the gamemode variables

Any newly defined variable not preceded by the keyword "local" is considered global (there are certain circumstances where this will not be true, notably when messing around with the environment, but you shouldn't run into that problem yet).

nah nah lua doesn't work like that

local function func1() <-- local and can only be accessed from inside the file its located in

function func1() <-- global and can be accessed from anywhere as long as its in the same environment(can't access a clientside global directly from a serverside file, you'd need to network it)

You say no and then in words agree with what I said. Also, when I said environment I meant environment (see setenv), not realm.
