Will Gmod allow this?

[EMB]

Will Gmod allow me to use player:kill() in shared.lua?
Fretta gamemode, and I have no time to test ATM so I'm asking the n00by question.

Thanks in advance!

Because using the wiki is [I]that[/I] hard.

This guy might not be aware that there is a wiki, not sure why he wouldn't be aware of it, but still.

I know that there is a wiki, and use it often, but did not know wether or not shared lua files could contain server commands.

A better question is: How can I get player:kill() to work in shared.lua?

[Overv]

By encapsulating it in
[lua]if ( SERVER ) then

end[/lua]
or using a serverside hook.

[EMB]

Ok, will this work in a SWEP as primary fire?
EG:
[lua]
function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
local Aim = self.Owner:GetEyeTrace()
if Aim.Entity:IsPlayer() and Aim.Entity:GetTeam() == "ENEMY" then
AimEnt:kill()
else
self.Owner:kill()
end
end
[/lua]

That's the Joke ...

[EMB]

I know there is a wiki and use it alot!!

[TaintedTurnip]

Is it me or do you want your code so that if the player is not looking at another player or NPC it kills the player?

[EMB]

Exactly. Making this for TTT, for the Detective.
[lua]
function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
local Aim = self.Owner:GetEyeTrace()
if Aim.Entity:IsPlayer() and Aim.Entity:GetRole() == "ROLE_TRAITOR" then
AimEnt:Kill()
else
self.Owner:Kill()
end
end
[/lua]

Will the kill part work? Forget about the GetRole etc.

The Kill() parts should work.

[EMB]

Even though it's in shared.lua?

[EMB]

Thanks!
I originally had it as:
[lua]
function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
local AimEnt = self.Owner:GetEyeTrace().Entity
if AimEnt:IsPlayer() and AimEnt:GetRole() == "ROLE_TRAITOR" then
AimEnt:kill()
else
self.Owner:kill()
end
end
[/lua]

But that wouldn't have worked, even with the edit, would it?

[EMB]

Oh, ok then.

[Entoros]

Just remember: shared files are run by both the client and the server. You can make it so a part of a shared file is only run by the client or the server by using the convenient "CLIENT" and "SERVER" expressions.

[EMB]

Ok, it doesn't work (not that I could get any really good test conditions).
IE it always kills the user.
Any suggestions? BTW if anyone would like to help me test it, please do contact me.

[DarKSunrise]

Don't use "ROLE_TRAITOR", because it's an enumeration (variable that is an equilevent for a number). Take off the quotes and use ROLE_TRAITOR.

[EMB]

K, will test tomorrow.
