[Bezad]

Hi, i was trying to make a HUD that shows the admins online. but i cant get the HUD to work :/

ShowAdmins = true

function toggleAdminList()
	if ShowAdmins then
		ShowAdmins = false
	else
		showAdmins = true
	end
end

toggleAdminList()

concommand.Add("show_admin", function()
	toggleAdminList()
end)

hook.Add("HUDPaint", "toggleAdminList", function()
	if ShowAdmins then
		for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
			if v:IsAdmin() or v:IsSuperAdmin() then
					adminList = adminList .. ", " .. v:Nick() // use .. to concat strings
			end
		end
			
		
			if (adminList != "") then
				adminList = string.sub(adminList, 3, string.len(adminList))
				draw.SimpleText("Admins: "..adminList, ScrW() * 0.8, ScrH() * 0.2, Color(0, 255, 0, 200), 1, 1)
			else
				draw.SimpleText("No admins online!", ScrW() * 0.8, ScrH() * 0.2, Color(255, 0, 0, 200), 1, 1)
			end
		end)
	end)

When you post Lua, place it in a lua tag instead of a code tag.

You did not have a font set in your draw.SimpleText calls. I also cleaned up your code a bit:
[lua]local showAdmins = true
concommand.Add("show_admin", function()
if showAdmins then
showAdmins = false
else
showAdmins = true
end
end
)
hook.Add("HUDPaint", "AdminList", function()
if showAdmins then
local adminList = ""
for _,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if v:IsAdmin() or v:IsSuperAdmin() then
adminList = adminList..", "..v:Nick()
end
end
if adminList ~= "" then
adminList = string.sub(adminList, 3, string.len(adminList))
draw.SimpleText("Admins: "..adminList, "ScoreboardText", ScrW()*0.8, ScrH()*0.2, Color(0,255,0,200), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
else
draw.SimpleText("No admins online!", "ScoreboardText", ScrW()*0.8, ScrH()*0.2, Color(255,0,0,200), TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
end
end
end

HUD is clientside. From what I know, the only player you can get from the client is the client himself. You'll want to send some usermessages or datastream the info.

Other players exist on the client..

But yeah, I'm just returning (I haven't really played GMod since 08 or 09...) to Lua scripting. So there's a lot of new shit I don't know about. Back when I was scripting, this kinda shit always fucked up on me.
