Progress Bar Help!!!

[Vizik]

Hey :) Ive been having problems with making a progress bar for the players exp ( the rank name by itself isnt to cool to look at ) Ive check and tried making a progress bar for it. For some reason i cant seem to figure the problem. One being idk what the ERROR means. Two is there is no red ( color i set it to ) on the bar. Ill provide my code and the ERROR.

 
function TestHUD()
	local ply = LocalPlayer()
	if ( !IsValid( LocalPlayer( ) ) ) then return; end
	local XP = ply:GetBhopRank()
	
	draw.RoundedBox( 4, 130, ScrH() - 100, 200, 40, Color( 40, 40, 40, 255 ))
	draw.RoundedBox( 4, 130, ScrH() - 100, math.Clamp( XP, 0, 500 )*2, 15, Color( 220, 108, 108, 255 ) )
	draw.RoundedBox( 4, 130, ScrH() - 100, math.Clamp( XP, 0, 500 )*2, 5, Color( 255, 255, 255, 40 ) )
		
end
hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "TestHUD", TestHUD)

Code

[ERROR] lua/includes/extensions/math.lua:46: attempt to compare string with number
  1. Clamp - lua/includes/extensions/math.lua:46
   2. fn - gamemodes/bhop/gamemode/bhop_hud.lua:348
    3. unknown - addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/hook.lua:183

ERROR

BTW the bar DOES work with HP and it goes down when i take damage :)
Any help will be greatly appreciated :)

GetBhopRank probably returns a string / name instead of a number. If it returns a "number", it is in the form of a string ( not formatted correctly in that function ) so you could tonumber( ) it, or ensure the GetBhopRank returns a number, not a string.

Ok i did research and found this [url]http://www.lua.org/pil/2.4.html[/url] its saying that i have to create a new string. Is that correct?

Ok i tried this and it said on Console What i made it say if the value was nil. Tho the error is still present. Lol i am dumb when it comes to new things. Can you help me with telling me what is wrong with it. (dont give me the right code: No SpoonFeed )

function TestHUD()
	local ply = LocalPlayer()
	if ( !IsValid( LocalPlayer( ) ) ) then return; end
	local XP = ply:GetBhopRank()
	n = tonumber( XP )
	if n == nil then
		print ( "No Rank Value" )
	end
	
	
	draw.RoundedBox( 4, 130, ScrH() - 100, 200, 40, Color( 40, 40, 40, 255 ))
	draw.RoundedBox( 4, 130, ScrH() - 100, math.Clamp( XP, 0, 500 )*2, 15, Color( 220, 108, 108, 255 ) )
	draw.RoundedBox( 4, 130, ScrH() - 100, math.Clamp( XP, 0, 500 )*2, 5, Color( 255, 255, 255, 40 ) )
		
end
hook.Add( "HUDPaint", "TestHUD", TestHUD)
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "myCommand", myCommand )

I'm not 100% sure, but doesn't ply:GetBhopRank( ) return their rank as text? "Casual", "Usual" etc? If I'm wrong and it does return a number as a string, you should be able to just do.

local XP = tonumber( ply:GetBhopRank( ) )

Just to double check, put - print( ply:GetBhopRank( ) ) to make sure it's not returning "[Casual]" etc.. ( This is assuming you're running Ilya's bhop gamemode. )
I can check the gamemode later on today for you if you want.
