Death Messages

[HassanCohmdan]

Hi,

I've got this Dpanel that pops ups when you die,

 function DrawDeathMessage() 

local DeathMessages = { 
"You have died, you forget everything that happened in the past.",
"1. You may not return to your death postion for 10 minutes.",
"2. You may not return to ask for your stuff back.",
"3. You may not return to get your car back.",
"By clicking accept, you agree to the NLR rule.",
} 
  
local LDFrame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )  
LDFrame:SetPos( ScrW() / 2 - 250,ScrH() / 2 )  
LDFrame:SetSize( 512, 128 )  
LDFrame:SetTitle( "New Life Rule - NLR" )  
LDFrame:SetVisible( true )  
LDFrame:SetDraggable( true )  
LDFrame:ShowCloseButton( false ) 
LDFrame:SetBackgroundBlur( true )  
LDFrame:MakePopup() 
  
local PaintPanel = vgui.Create( "DPanel", LDFrame )  
  
PaintPanel:SetPos( 5, 25 )  
PaintPanel:SetSize( 490, 90 )  
PaintPanel.Paint = function()      
surface.SetDrawColor( 50, 50, 50, 255 )      
surface.DrawRect( 0, 0, PaintPanel:GetWide(), PaintPanel:GetTall() ) 
--PaintPanel:SetCursor("hand"); 
end 
  
local Dlabel = vgui.Create("DLabel", PaintPanel); 
    Dlabel:SetText(#DeathMessages); 
    Dlabel:SetSize(490, 30); 
    Dlabel:SetPos(10, 20); 
  
local OKButton = vgui.Create("DButton", PaintPanel); 
    OKButton:SetText("Accept"); 
    OKButton:SetSize(100, 30); 
    OKButton:SetPos(10, 50); 
    OKButton.DoClick = function() 
        LDFrame:Close() 
        RunConsoleCommand("dmspawn") 
    end 
end 

--[[local OKButton = vgui.Create("DButton", PaintPanel); 
    OKButton:SetText("Disaccept"); 
    OKutton:SetSize(100, 30); 
    OKButton:SetPos(10, 100); 
    OKButton.DoClick = function() 
        LDFrame:Close() 
        RunConsoleCommand("disconnect") 
end--]]

concommand.Add("DrawDeathMsg", DrawDeathMessage)

But when I die only this pops up

Can someone help me on how to get all messages displayed?

[img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/DLabel/SetText]DLabel:SetText[/url] takes a string as text, whereas [B]DeathMessages[/B] is a table. But what you supplied is [B]#DeathMessages[/B], which returns the amount of items in the table.
Change [lua]local DeathMessages = {
"You have died, you forget everything that happened in the past.",
"1. You may not return to your death postion for 10 minutes.",
"2. You may not return to ask for your stuff back.",
"3. You may not return to get your car back.",
"By clicking accept, you agree to the NLR rule.",
}[/lua] to [lua]local DeathMessages = [[You have died, you forget everything that happened in the past.
1. You may not return to your death postion for 10 minutes.
2. You may not return to ask for your stuff back.
3. You may not return to get your car back."
By clicking accept, you agree to the NLR rule.]][/lua]

And change [B]#DeathMessages[/B] to [B]DeathMessages[/B]

Also: You should probably make your function [URL="https://www.lua.org/pil/4.2.html"]local[/URL]

Alright, all the messages display right now.

How do I make another button, I've tried Ctrl + c > ctrl + v but that doesn't seem to work

Well... that's pretty much how it's done. What happens when you do that?

I don't think he's closing the function off completely?
