Usermessages

[lua]
umsg.Start("select_char_alert",ply)

Why is this sent to everyone not just the player(ply), and ply is defined.

ply is nil.

It could also be a problem that the usermessage itself is empty, I had weird results with empty usermessages a while ago.

I think that var is supposed to be a RecipientFilter.

Doesn't matter, if you read more carefully you would have figured that you can either pass a player entity OR a recipient filter.

Can we see what function this code is being called from?

[Freze]

Yeah. Function? And the function where you receive it at client.

[zzaacckk]

[lua]
function CharacterModel(name)
if not name then return '' end
print(name)
-- Queries ran here and defined rtq1 & rtq2
local model = "models/player/group_01/"..rtq2.."_0"..rtq2..".mdl"
return model
end

function GetAllCharacters(ply)
local steamid = ply:SteamID()
local ammt = PlayerCharacters(steamid)
for i=1,ammt do
// Queries were here and defined name2, lives2
local pmodel = CharacterModel(name2)
print(pmodel)
print(name2, lives2, cdate2)
umsg.Start("erp_charactermenu", ply)
umsg.String(tostring(name2))
umsg.String(tostring(lives2))
umsg.String(tostring(cdate2))
umsg.String(tostring(pmodel))
umsg.End()end

end
concommand.Add("erp_getcharacters",GetAllCharacters)
[/lua]

Also when this is ran, this is printed into console.log

zack
[gamemodes\exolocityrp\gamemode\mysql\mysql_characters.lua:7] attempt to call local 'name' (a string value)

"zack" is the players name responding to line 3 of the CharacterModel function.

This is line seven of original code.

[lua]
local query = "SELECT modelnum FROM characters WHERE name = '"..name"'"
[/lua]

[_nonSENSE]

You forgot to add .. between name and "'".
