opening DFrame on death

[xboxki]

I have been trying to make a script for darkrp.

concept: on dealth, derma menu pops up asking if you have been rdmed or not, if you click yes, then it will pm an admin that they have been rdmed,

I have not gotten any response from in game
this is one of a couple of my first attempts at using gmodlua.
I fount a post 9 years ago about this topic, didn't seem to help me all that much.

init.lua
if SERVER then
AddCSLuaFile("cl_init.lua")

function dermamenu(ply, ent, attacker)

end

hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "UnquieName" , dermamenu)

end

cl_init.lua
if CLIENT then
function dermamenu() dmenu = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
dmenu:SetPos (ScrW() / 2, ScrH() / 2) 
dmenu:SetTitle("RDM MENU")
dmenu:SetDraggable( false )
dmenu:SetText( "Were you RDM'ed" )
dmenu:SetVisible( true )
dmenu:SetDraggable( false )
dmenu:ShowCloseButton( false )
dmenu:MakePopup()

local yesb = vgui.Create( "DButton", dmenu )
yesb:Dock(TOP)
yesb:SetSize( 50, 50 )
yesb:SetText( "Yes" )
yesb.DoClick = function()
RunConsoleCommand("say", "@Admin, I have been RDMed")
end

local nob = vgui.Create( "DButton", dmenu )
nob:Dock(TOP)
nob:SetSize( 50, 50 )
nob:SetText( "No" )
nob.DoClick = function()
dmenu:Close()
end
end
end

You can't "say" when you're dead so you'll have to force them to respawn with a timer or something. Also if this is for DarkRP you don't need to include the "if CLIENT" statement or the "if SERVER" statement.

Hello,
Here is all the things you will need:

GM/PlayerDeath - To detect if a player dies(Remember, this needs to be on the server).
Net Library Usage - To send the info that the player has died to the player so it opens the menu.

If you are not sure on how to use the Net Libary, Code Blue has a great tutorial on that!

There's no need to network anything since this is possible without the server. You can just use gameevent.Listen with "entity_killed" and then check if the entity that died is equal to LocalPlayer then open the derma. Keep in mind that data.entindex_killed is a number, not an entity, so to get the entity you'd have to use Entity.

Oh didn't know about that, Neat!

@\\
Thank you so much, I played around with it, and it worked perfectly!!!

I'm having 1 script error, other than that the script works 100% its just that its giving me a server error whenever I die

attempt to call global 'LocalPlayer' (a nil value)

I have been trying to understand why its doing this. everything work?

if you altered the code you should post what you have. Also remember LocalPlayer() is a clientside only value: https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Global/LocalPlayer

orange is client
blue is server

[xboxki]

gameevent.Listen( "entity_killed" )
hook.Add( "entity_killed", "entity_killed_example", function( data )
local inflictor_index = data.entindex_inflictor // Same as Weapon:EntIndex() / weapon used to kill victim
local attacker_index = data.entindex_attacker // Same as Player/Entity:EntIndex() / person or entity who did the damage
local damagebits = data.damagebits // DAMAGE_TYPE - use BIT operations to decipher damage types...
local victim_index = data.entindex_killed // Same as Victim:EntIndex() / the entity / player victim

// Called when a Player or Entity is killed

if Entity(data.entindex_killed) == LocalPlayer() then

local dmenu = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
dmenu:SetPos (ScrW() / 2, ScrH() / 2) 
dmenu:SetTitle("RDM MENU")
dmenu:SetSize( 200, 200)
dmenu:SetDraggable( false )
dmenu:SetText( "Were you RDM'ed" )
dmenu:SetVisible( true )
dmenu:SetDraggable( false )
dmenu:ShowCloseButton( false )
dmenu:MakePopup()

local yesb = vgui.Create( "DButton", dmenu )
yesb:Dock(TOP)
yesb:SetSize( 50, 50 )
yesb:SetText( "Yes" )
yesb.DoClick = function()
RunConsoleCommand("say", "@Admin, I have been RDMed")
dmenu:Close()
end

local nob = vgui.Create( "DButton", dmenu )
nob:Dock(TOP)
nob:SetSize( 50, 50 )
nob:SetText( "No" )
nob.DoClick = function()
dmenu:Close()
end

local otherb = vgui.Create( "DButton", dmenu )
otherb:Dock(TOP)
otherb:SetSize( 50, 50 )
otherb:SetText( "Other" )
otherb.DoClick = function()
Derma_StringRequest( "Other", "Explain", "", function( txt )
RunConsoleCommand( "say", "@ " .. txt )

dmenu:Close()
end)
end

end
end )

Is this server side?

If so try the Victim entity instead of LocalPlayer()

I got it to work, I'm just a dumb ass, didn't put the file in autorun/client

kill me
