...Joined the game

[Slash606]

When a certain player by their steamid joins the game, they get a sound playing like 'An admin has join the game.'

[Cubar]

Use PlayerInitialSpawn or PlayerAuthed and use if ply:IsAdmin() then ply:EmitSound("somesound.mp3",500,100) end shouldn't be hard to figure out [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Gamemode.PlayerInitialSpawn[/url]
[url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Gamemode.PlayerAuthed[/url]

[Slash606]

I have no idea how to code lua, thats why I am requesting..

[uberpwns]

Err. this might work.

function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn(ply)
	for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
		if ply:IsAdmin then
			v:EmitSound("anysound.mp3",500,100) and v:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTCENTER,"An admin has arrived!")
		end
	end
end

and for the unique steam id it to do that, this maybe?

function GM:PlayerInitialSpawn(ply)
	for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
		if (ply:SteamID() =="STEAM:0:0:123456789") then
			v:EmitSound("anysound.mp3",500,100) and v:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTCENTER,"An admin has arrived!")
		end
	end
end

I wrote them both quickly, and they might not work. Would a higher experienced person please kindly tell me if I coded one/both/ or none right?

[Cubar]

You don't need and in there and change ply:EmitSound to v:EmitSound so everyone would hear it you only need if ply:IsAdmin() or (ply:SteamID() == "STEAM:0:0:123456789")

[Slash606]

would this go into autorun?

[lua\autorun\client\serveradmin.lua:1] unexpected symbol near '{'

Doesn't anyone in this thread know how to code?
Slash it goes in the serverside folder but it wouldn't work anyway.

Use this

[lua]
JoiningSounds = {}
JoiningSounds[1] = "adminsound.mp3"
JoiningSounds[2] = "NormalSound.mp3"

hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "SoundSpawn", function(ply)
if ply:IsAdmin() then
ply:EmitSound(JoiningSounds[1], 500, 200)
else
ply:EmitSound(JoiningSounds[2], 500, 200)
end
end)
[/lua]

Replace admin sound and normal sound with the sounds that you want to be played.

Idiot, that would only play for the person that joined not for everyone, you need to learn more about coding.

His thing would emit a sound from the player, anyone would hear it if they were close enough.

Yeh but it's better to play it on all of the players.

Although I don't like Cubar, I do agree with him, it would be better for every player to hear it not just close players

[CombineGuruX]

[lua]
local JoiningSounds = {'adminsound.mp3', 'normalsound.mp3'}

hook.Add('PlayerInitialSpawn', 'SoundSpawn' function(ply)
timer.Simple(.5, function()
if(ValidEntity(ply)) then
if(ply:IsAdmin()) then
BroadcastLua('surface.PlaySound("'..JoiningSounds[1]..'")')
else
BroadcastLua('surface.PlaySound("'..JoiningSounds[2]..'")')
end
end
end)
end)
[/lua]

[MacDGuy]

Don't use BroadcastLua.

Put this in lua/autorun/admin_spawn.lua (or whatever you want to name the lua file as)

[lua]AddCSLuaFile( "admin_spawn.lua" ) //change this to whatever file name you named the lua file

if SERVER then

hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "SoundSpawn", function( ply )

timer.Simple( .5, function() //player isn't completely there yet

if !IsValid( ply ) then return end

umsg.Start( "SoundSpawn" )
umsg.Bool( ply:IsAdmin() ) //could check for admin clientside, but that would require sending the player ent instead of a simple bool
umsg.End()

end )

end )

else //client

usermessage.Hook( "SoundSpawn", function( um )

//only the client really needs to know about this table
//hell we don't even need this table, it's just for simplification
local JoiningSounds = {
["Admin"] = Sound( "adminsound.mp3" ),
["Player"] = Sound( "normalsound.mp3" )
}

local admin = um:ReadBool() or false

if admin then
surface.PlaySound( JoiningSounds.Admin )
else
surface.PlaySound( JoiningSounds.Player )
end

end )

end[/lua]

Broadcast lua is fine as long as it's not getting called too often. As is Player:SendLua
