Script Error: syntax error near 'timer'

[J4FPredator]

Hello guys.

I am receiving this script error: syntax error near 'timer'.
I don't know and don't understand the motivation of this error.
I have already searched this error on the web but I haven't found anything!

This are the "Script":

function AdvertForPing()
local LocalPlayer(ply)

timer.Create( "AFPCheck", 1, 0, function() --<------- HERE IS THE ERROR, NEAR TIMER
if ply:Ping() >= kickping then
print( "Your ping is too high" )
else
print( "Your ping isn't too high!" )
end
end )

end

Thank You!

Change it to local ply = LocalPlayer()

Ow, wow, thank you!
Please can you give me some example of when I have to write a script in server folder or in client folder?

I haven't understand this.
For example, this:

function AdvertForPing()
local LocalPlayer(ply)

timer.Create( "AFPCheck", 1, 0, function()
if ply:Ping() >= kickping then
print( "Your ping is too high" )
else
print( "Your ping isn't too high!" )
end
end )

end

I have to write it in the client folder or in the server folder?

This would need to be in the client folder, because LocalPlayer() is only available clientside.
Please use CODE tags the next time, so it is easier to read the code.

[J4FPredator]

this file already is in client folder but don't works!
In server folder I have created an other file, this is the code:

util.AddNetworkString( "KFPS" )

function KickForPing( kfp )
	kfp:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Ciao, " ..kfp:Nick() .. "! Hai 0 avvertimenti del ping.")
    net.Start("KFPS")
end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "Start The Script", KickForPing )

in the client file i have added these lines:

net.Receive("KFPS", function()
	RunConsoleCommand("KFPSC")
	print("It works")
end)

concommand.Add("KFPSC", KickForPing)

When I Spawn, in chat there is the message Ciao, Predator..... but the script don't automatically start, and in console there isn't the message "It works", So i think (net.Receive) don't works!

util.AddNetworkString( "KFPS" )

function KickForPing( kfp )
	kfp:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Ciao, " ..kfp:Nick() .. "! Hai 0 avvertimenti del ping.")
    net.Start("KFPS")
end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "Start The Script", KickForPing )

You are starting a net, but you are'nt sending it.

net.Send(kfp)

should work.
Also this script will only check the ping when the player spawns the first time. You should implement the script in a timer or something like that and run the check function every x seconds.

Sorry, i have edit the previous Reply!
Re- Read my previous reply.

You are using net.Send(KFP), I am using net.Start(KFP), is this the problem?

Start the message like you're doing right now, but then send it to the player object in PlayerInitialSpawn.

[lua]
util.AddNetworkString( "KFPS" )

function KickForPing( kfp )
kfp:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Ciao, " ..kfp:Nick() .. "! Hai 0 avvertimenti del ping.")
net.Start("KFPS") --Start the message
net.Send(kfp) --Send the message to kfp; player who is spawning.
end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "Start The Script", KickForPing )
[/lua]

Thank you Greetings, but now the game give me other errors!

function KickForPing()
local ply = LocalPlayer()

	timer.Create( "KFPCheck", 1, 0, function() --<---------- Second Error, Timer Failed
		if ply:Ping() >= kickping then       --<--------- First Error
		        print( "Your ping is too high" )
		else
			print( "Your ping isn't too high" )
		end
		
		 
		end )

end

Is kickping defined?

[J4FPredator]

[QUOTE=code_gs;48936856]Is kickping defined?[/QUOTE]

Sure
local kickping = 500

[manolis]

Post the entire code

[J4FPredator]

Fixed!

before

local KFP = {}
KFP.kickping = 500

now
local kickping = 500

Thank you!
