Try this

You don't have to make it a shop, but it gives you a basic overview of how to make it accept players when they press a certain key on them.

Thats what I used.

[TaintedTurnip]

You've missed out a vital part in the ENT:AcceptInput function.

[lua]if calller:IsPlayer() and name == "Use" then[/lua]

[Lily]

That tutorial is a mess, as i stated before you should use KeyPress and traces, means you can get the NPC useable through glass and stuff, but that method works if you want to make it simple

Still nothing.

I'm going to clean up that tutorial with a completed example at the end.

Cool beans.

[h4rDm0d]

function ENT:AcceptInput(activator)   
    if activator:IsPlayer() then    
        umsg.Start("shopmenu", activator)   
        umsg.End()   
    end 

try that

[Ningaglio]

H4rDm0D : Your missing an end on that function :P

[LUA]
function ENT:AcceptInput(activator)
if activator:IsPlayer() then
umsg.Start("shopmenu", activator)
umsg.End()
end
end
[/LUA]

now ... [QUOTE] ...try that [/QUOTE]

[h4rDm0d]

or you could use

function ENT:Use(activator)
if activator:IsPlayer() and activator:IsAlive() then
umsg.Start("shopmenu", activator)
umsg.End()
end
end

[triscuit6264]

[Lua]function ENT:AcceptInput(activator, pl)
if ( pl:KeyPressed( IN_USE ) ) then
umsg.Start("shopmenu", activator)
umsg.End()
end
end
[/Lua]
Ok I changed to look for key presses and it worked.
