Get RoundedBox #

[mx.silent]

Original question I asked was "is it possible to designate the number of RoundedBoxes in a scoreboard if I'm using RoundedBoxes to create columns that hold player's names and scores"
Bobblehead wrote:
for i = 1, 3 do
local p = vgui.Create("Panel")
function p:Paint(w,h) draw.RoundedBox(4,0,0,w,h,color_white) end
layout:Add( p )
end
I've attempted to do what Bobblehead mentioned but it creates a new panel (obviously) instead of working with the code I already had (again obviously because I didn't give the code to begin with, which was my fault).

What I'm wanting to do is add text to the first 3 roundedboxes in the scoreboard
So this is the reply:
If I do that it ends up creating a new panel how would I make it so that it counts the draw.RoundedBoxes for this code?
for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
local PlayerPanel = vgui.Create("DPanel", PlayerList)
PlayerPanel:SetSize(PlayerList:GetWide(), 100)
PlayerPanel:SetPos(0,0)
PlayerPanel:SizeToContents()
--PlayerPanel:SetWrap( true )
PlayerPanel.Paint = function()
local score = v:Frags() * 200 - v:Deaths() * 300 --v is the player.
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 50, PlayerPanel:GetWide(), PlayerPanel:GetTall(), Color( 50, 50, 50, 255))
draw.SimpleText(v:GetName().." Score: "..score,"Default2", 50, 69, Color(255, 255, 255 ))
end

I'm guessing something along the lines of "for i = 1, 3 do" somewhere at the top where "k,v in pairs" I just don't know how to word it because I don't want it to only draw 3 rounded boxes I just want it to count the first three and add something to those first 3.

Sorry for the headache

Edit: Also i did try to take your code, turn it into a child of PlayerPanel but that didn't exactly work because any time I'd try to designate the rounded box inside of the function as I have it coded it either appeared over the top(smaller) or just disappeared entirely.

Can anyone help?

One of possible solutions: store all your player panels in a table and then just do
for i = 1, 3 do
PlayerPanels[i].Paint = function(p, w, h)
-- different painting
end
end

I was just trying to update my post with that explanation with my shitty english :v

[mx.silent]

Can you explain what you mean like I'm 5? I just want to understand why/how the code does what it does so I don't have to keep coming back asking the same questions

[mx.silent]

I just don't know how to word it... do I do...

for i = 1, 3 do
PlayerPanel.Paint = function()
if..... idk... "if i <= 4 then PlayerPanel:Add(Label( "Best Players!"...i)"
??
for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
local PlayerPanel = vgui.Create("DPanel", PlayerList)
PlayerPanel:SetSize(PlayerList:GetWide(), 100)
PlayerPanel:SetPos(0,0)
PlayerPanel:SizeToContents()

for i = 1, 3 do
PlayerPanel.Paint = function()
local score = v:Frags() * 200 - v:Deaths() * 300
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 50, PlayerPanel:GetWide(), PlayerPanel:GetTall(), Color( 50, 50, 50, 255))
draw.SimpleText(v:GetName().." Score: "..score,"Default2", 50, 69, Color(255, 255, 255 ))

In your paint function for panels
PlayerPanel.Paint = function()
check if the key value for the loop is less than 4
PlayerPanel.Paint = function()
if k <= 4 then
if it is less than 4, draw your text
PlayerPanel.Paint = function()
if k <= 4 then
PlayerPanel:Add(Label( "Best Players!")
that will mean if the key value is equal to 1, 2 or 3, text will be drawn.

Not "expecting to be spoon fed code" thats why I asked you to explain it.
Also I'm 100% positive the code I wrote above doesn't work. So whats wrong with it?

[mx.silent]

POO

[Bobblehead]

You said it's working now? What's the code you have?

[mx.silent]

for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do --`for k,v` means each time this is run, `k` will be a number and `v` will be the player itself.
local PlayerPanel = vgui.Create("DPanel", PlayerList)
PlayerPanel:SetSize(PlayerList:GetWide(), 100)
PlayerPanel:SetPos(0,0)
PlayerPanel:SizeToContents()
PlayerPanel.Paint = function()
if k <= 3 then
local crown_img = vgui.Create( "DImage", PlayerPanel )
local score = v:Frags() * 200 - v:Deaths() * 300 --v is the player.
draw.RoundedBox(0, 0, 50, PlayerPanel:GetWide(), PlayerPanel:GetTall(), Color( 50, 50, 50, 255))
draw.SimpleText(v:GetName().." Score: "..score,"Default2", 55, 69, Color(255, 255, 255 ))
crown_img:AlignLeft()
crown_img:SetSize( 10, 10 )
crown_img:SetPos(10,55)
crown_img:SetImage( "materials/crown.png" )
else local score = v:Frags() * 200 - v:Deaths() * 300 --v is the player.
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 50, PlayerPanel:GetWide(), PlayerPanel:GetTall(), Color( 50, 50, 50, 255))

draw.SimpleText(v:GetName().." Score: "..score,"Default2", 55, 69, Color(255, 255, 255 ))

end
end

It's spacing an extra column between the roundedboxes now

Bobble?

[Bobblehead]

for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do --`for k,v` means each time this is run, `k` will be a number and `v` will be the player itself.
local PlayerPanel = vgui.Create("DPanel", PlayerList)
PlayerPanel:SetSize(PlayerList:GetWide(), 100)
PlayerPanel:SetPos(0,0)
PlayerPanel:SizeToContents()

if k <= 3 then --If this is the 1st-3rd player, we add a crown.
local crown_img = vgui.Create( "DImage", PlayerPanel )
local score = v:Frags() * 200 - v:Deaths() * 300 --v is the player.
crown_img:SetSize( 10, 10 )
crown_img:SetPos(10,55)
crown_img:SetImage( "materials/crown.png" )
end

--This function is called EVERY frame. So don't create things inside of it.
PlayerPanel.Paint = function(self,w,h) --function arguments are self, w, and h. These are the panel, its width, and its height.
--Draw this stuff for every player.
draw.RoundedBox( 0, 0, 50, w, h, Color( 50, 50, 50, 255))
draw.SimpleText(v:GetName().." Score: "..score,"Default2", 55, 69, Color(255, 255, 255 ))
end
end

Tried that but it won't parse score if it's inside the "if k <= 3 then" function because it's ended before the "draw.SimpleText" that calls for 'score'. So I moved it both before "if k <= 3" and after. Neither one fixed the issue of the code creating an extra "blank" space between the RoundedBoxes.

Are you kidding? Do you even try to figure it out by yourself? Move it before or after the if (not both), then read draw.RoundedBox

[mx.silent]

....did you even read what I said? I tried that.

[LoweChaser]

Third argument of draw.RoundedBox function is: The y coordinate of the top left of the rectangle.
It's 50 in your code

[mx.silent]

Took me a while to figure out what was going on with it but eventually I ended up adjusting the y value to 0 and then adjusting the SetPos for the entire DFrame outside the ScorePanel. Tnx for pointing that out I didn't notice before because it was appearing normal before
