hi facepunch i have made a button that when is clicked you can change text that is on the screen... however the problem im having is when a new player joins the game it says nil and when you change the text it only changes for you and it doesnt change it for everybody else.

oh yes and the code:
[QUOTE]laws = "Default Laws"
local HUD = {}
HUD.RED = Color(255, 0, 0, 255)
hook.Add("HUDPaint", "afsfasfasff131313", function()
draw.SimpleText(laws, default, 222, 222, HUD.RED, TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT, TEXT_ALIGN_RIGHT )
end )
DButton4 = vgui.Create( "DButton" );
DButton4:SetPos( 194, 32 )
DButton4:SetText( "Laws" )
DButton4:SetSize( 32, 20 )
DButton4.DoClick = function()
Derma_StringRequest(
"Laws",
"Modify the laws at the top of the screen.",
"",
function( text ) laws = text end
)
end[/QUOTE]
You need to upload the text to the server and share with all clients.
and don't make a table to hold one value
to prevent it from erroring, adding a check to the beginning of the file should work, if that's all your file does:
[lua]
if not LocalPlayer() then return end
[/lua]

can anybody tell me how to make sure the string gets sent over the server or whatever like the dude above mentioned?? :quagmire:
Yeah, use the net library, and send a message from the client to the server ( the law which you've entered ), then send it from the server to all the clients.

i tried doing it by putting this in server file
[QUOTE]
util.AddNetworkString( "Example3" ) // even though the server isn't sending this message, it must be
// networked before the client can send it!
net.Receive( "Example3", function( text, laws )
laws = text
end )[/QUOTE]
and this in client file
[QUOTE]DButton4 = vgui.Create( "DButton" );
DButton4:SetPos( 194, 32 )
DButton4:SetText( "Laws" )
DButton4:SetSize( 32, 20 )
DButton4.DoClick = function()
Derma_StringRequest(
"Laws",
"Modify the laws at the top of the screen.",
"",
function( text ) NetExample3() end
)
end[/QUOTE]
