[url]http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=97699[/url]

and wanting make the points veiwable on the scoreboard

I tried my self but i failed at it with this code

function GM:AddScoreboardPoints( ScoreBoard )

    local f = function( ply ) return PointMod.Points () end
    ScoreBoard:AddColumn( "Points", 50, f, 0.5, nil, 6, 6 )

end

wtf?
local f = a function? and you didn't use that function anywhere?

why don't you do it without the local f and put somethin g in to fill in the points column?

[jaythorpe]

got no idea what to change it to

i tried function GM:AddScoreboardPoints( ScoreBoard )

function( ply ) return ply.Points = ply:GetPData( "Points" ) end
ScoreBoard:AddColumn( "Points", 50, f, 0.5, nil, 6, 6 )

no good doesnt even show up on scoreboard

[_nonSENSE]

Copy-pasting things without trying to understand them and changing a few things is generally a bad idea.

Why would you write this:

[lua]return ply.Points = ply:GetPData( "Points" )[/lua]
I am not sure if Lua returns anything when referencing, but even if it did, it would return a bool.
If the mentioned point-shop actually stores the players points with ply:SetPData("Points", someNumber), the above code would still error, seeing as it is not meant for clientside. [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Player.GetPData"]Read up on it.[/URL]

That said, you can either use usermessages to sync the data to the client, or networked vars. NWVars would be probably be easier in this case.
