My error is:

1. unknown - lua/tttmenu_new.lua:3
2. unknown - lua/includes/modules/concommand.lua:69

My code is

function TTTMenu()

	local ply = LocalPlayer()

	local DPanel = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
	DPanel:SetPos( 10, 30 )
	DPanel:SetSize( 200, 200 )
	DPanel:SetTitle( "TTT Admin Menu Alpha!" )
	DPanel:SetVisible( true )
	DPanel:SetDraggable( true )
	DPanel:ShowCloseButton( true )
	DPanel:MakePopup()

	local DComboBox = vgui.Create( "DComboBox", DPanel )
	local selected
	DComboBox:SetPos( 5, 5 )
	DComboBox:SetSize( 100, 20 )
	DComboBox:SetValue( "options" )
	DComboBox:AddChoice( "Say" )
	DComboBox:AddChoice( "Kill" )
	DComboBox:AddChoice( "option C" )
	DComboBox.OnSelect = function( panel, index, value )
		selected = value
	print( value .." was selected!" )

	local commands = {
	"say hi",
	"kill",
	"kill"
}

	local DButton = vgui.Create( "DButton", DPanel )

	DButton:SetPos( 20, 30 )
	DButton.DoClick = function()
		RunConsoleCommand(commands[selected])
	end


end
end
concommand.Add( "tttadmin", TTTMenu)

You are probably calling this serverside instead of clientside, which doesnt work.

[Author.]

You aren't even using ply? And remember that this has to go clientside, and not serverside!

I'd refrain from making admin-related stuff if you're inexperienced. It would be easy to make a mistake that would cost you your server's security's integrity.

How would I call it clientside, I don't have the luascript on the server

The code is unfinished, put I'm probably going to remove that line

I'm not going to be doing this on a public server

This is a client script ran from your own client? Then run it as lua_openscript_cl and not lua_openscript

[Gleir]

I was always wondering the difference with lua_openscript_cl and lua_openscript, thanks!

[Zedd]

No problem, the _cl stands for client. Basically anything you run from your client gets executed with that. lua_openscript is more for servers to be executed from the live console
