How do I create two factions?

[Zeroi]

As the title, how could I create two factions? You can't damage any NPC/player in your own faction.
I haven't tried a single line of code myself, yet. Just want to know if it's simple or hard.

[_nonSENSE]

It's simple.

[Zeroi]

[QUOTE=_nonSENSE;26965761]It's simple.[/QUOTE]

Great response.
My guess is something like the teams, team_bla1, team_blabla1, bla2, blabla2.
and if you're a bla1, you cant damage a blabla1, but bla2

[_nonSENSE]

Yes, that works.

Have look at this link:

-_- create teams in shared.lua

[lua]
shared.lua
team.SetUp( 1, "Me", Color( 0, 0, 255, 255 ) )
team.SetUp( 2, "Your Mom", Color( 255, 128, 201, 255 ) )
team.SetUp( 3, "Spectators", Color( 0, 0, 0, 255 ) )
[/lua]
As for no team killing,
[lua]
init.lua
function GM:PlayerShouldTakeDamage(victim, pl)
if pl:IsPlayer() == 1 then //If the attacker is a player
if pl:Team() == victim:Team() then //If the player is a player hater
return false // then deny the player hater
end
end
end
[/lua]

[_nonSENSE]

Those are some pretty awful line comments.

Also, pl:IsPlayer() returns a bool, so compare it to a bool.

no need to do "==1 " with IsPlayer(), since its true or false, just do:
if x:IsPlayer() ( if x is a player, true)
or
if !x:IsPlayer() ( if x is not (!) a player, false)

It would be for the best to not actually just set them on a new team. 2 teams, multiple factions. This way he doesn't have to go and set new spawn points for every single team.

The code is simple and self explanatory, and last time I checked, 1 and 0 are bools

[Zephilinox]

The only annoying part about this is the fact you want both npcs and players in the same faction to not hurt eachover.

comparing it to 1, 0, true, or false is my style, keep your style to yourself

[c-unit]

[QUOTE=Andriko1;26983195]last time I checked, 1 and 0 are bools[/QUOTE]

a boolean is true or false

[EDITLINE] asdas [/EDITLINE]

1 and 0 are integers, they are different data types.

Fixed the code there

No. Its misleading.

A bool returns true or false., not 1 or 0.

It's not a style, its the only way to do it, unless you want to waste time and do an unecessary " == true " after it.

from the wiki link you posted:

[lua]
function GM:PlayerShouldTakeDamage( victim, pl )
if pl:IsPlayer() /* look to your left, theres no == 1 */ then -- check the attacker is player
if( pl:Team() == victim:Team() and GetConVarNumber( "mp_friendlyfire" ) == 0 ) then -- check the teams are equal and that friendly fire is off.
return false -- do not damage the player
end
end

return true -- damage the player
end
[/lua]

:frog:

[Andriko1]

... it said pl:IsPlayer() == 1 until you edited it

for god sakes just stop spamming this thread, 1/0 is accepted as boolean in multiple languages, just stop, other people have questions too and this is still at the top even when I have an answer

Loures is the only guy who helped other than me

[QUOTE=Andriko1;26983594]... it said pl:IsPlayer() == 1 until you edited it[/QUOTE]

True, it was == 1 before "Zack" edited it today.

Its not good practice.

[c-unit]

[QUOTE=Andriko1;26983594]Loures is the only guy who helped[/QUOTE]

Anyways back to helping the man. What you could do is make a NWString and if they click button1 ply:SetNWString("Faction Name").

then if ply:GetNWString() == "Faction Name" then
do stuff

[Andriko1]

--snip-- nobody cares anyways

[zzaacckk]

To create two factions you should use teams.

[b][url=wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Team]Team Library [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b]

I am unsure about what you mean about a faction but you should read up on the Team library listed above.

@Andriko1 nice backseat moderation.

[Zephilinox]

[QUOTE=Andriko1;26983737]Omg, I don't care, stop posting after this[/QUOTE]

Then that would go against the point of the thread, which is to answer the OP's question.

[QUOTE=_nonSENSE;26965761]It's simple.[/QUOTE]

Never mind, found it.

You clearly don't know the difference between a comparison and a boolean, so please try to conform to standard Lua practise when helping for Lua questions - which means that 0 and 1 are both treated as non nil, and so will pass in an if statement, but neither are true or false.
