Addon Dev Help

[Livaco]

Hey, Im brand new to Glua, and im creating a addon (not sure if public or not), but it essentialy lets the user type !v as opposed to !cloak with ULX

Bit pointless yes, however agein, im new to Glua and i dont know what im doing. So i launch the game (its in my addons folder (and yes in autorun)), and when i type !v, nothing happens, no errors, nothin.

Its located Serverside and heres the code:

--------------------
--SUPER VANISH 1.0--
------ Livaco ------
--------------------

// NOTE: DO NOT EDIT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!

// Loading (doesent load anything, just to look cool)
print("Loading Supervanish...")
print("Loading Complete")

// Functions
// The reason this plugin requires ULX is becuse it only has !v trigger cloak, then !unv triggers uncloak.
// Cloak
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "vanishenable", function( ply, text, team )
	if ( string.sub( text, 1, 2 ) == "!v" ) then // Checks if the player says !v
		// Runs in the console "ulx cloak (name)"
		RunConsoleCommand("ulx cloak")
		// Tells the player that they are in vanish
		chat.AddText( Color( 0, 255, 0 ),"[SV] You activated vanish, type !unv to get out of vanish." ) 
	end
end )

// Uncloak  
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "vanishdisable", function( ply, text, team )
	if ( string.sub( text, 1, 4 ) === "!unv" ) then // Checks if the player says !unv
		// Runs in the console "ulx uncloak"
		RunConsoleCommand("ulx uncloak")
		// Tells the player they are not vanished
		chat.AddText( Color( 0, 255, 0 ),"[SV] You are no longer vanished." )
	end
end )

// End of script

Any help to why it doesent do anything is appreciated

Thanks

For the uncloak code, run a check to see if the player is already cloaked. Use [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/ChatPrint]Player:ChatPrint[/url] to send text to the player's chat box too.

Also, use -- for comments, not //.

And maybe run the same check on the first hook, too.

how would i run a check to see if the player is allready vanished??

Plus i updated my code to this:

--------------------
--SUPER VANISH 1.0--
------ Livaco ------
--------------------

-- NOTE: DO NOT EDIT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!

-- Loading (doesent load anything, just to look cool)
print("Loading Supervanish...")
print("Loading Complete")

-- Functions
-- Cloak
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "vanishenable", function( ply, text, team )
	if ( string.sub( text, 1, 2 ) == "!v" ) then -- Checks if the player says !v
		-- Runs in the console "ulx cloak (name)"
		RunConsoleCommand("ulx cloak")
		-- Tells the player that they are in vanish
		ply:ChatPrint( "[SV] You activated vanish, type !unv to get out of vanish." )
	end
end )

-- Uncloak  
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "vanishdisable", function( ply, text, team )
	if ( string.sub( text, 1, 4 ) === "!unv" ) then -- Checks if the player says !unv
		-- Runs in the console "ulx uncloak"
		RunConsoleCommand("ulx uncloak")
		-- Tells the player they are not vanished
		ply:ChatPrint( "[SV] You are no longer vanished." )
	end
end )

-- End of script

Update: i fixed an error in the unv code, then i got this.

[SV] You activated vanish, type !unv to get out of vanish.
SuperAdmin| Livaco: !v
[SV] You are no longer vanished.
SuperAdmin| Livaco: !unv

I placed a camera, but i wasent cloaked in ULX, (yes i made sure i had ULX installed).
