Disabling hunger on certain players not working

[Ambient_14]

Hi i was trying to create something to disable hunger on certain jobs but my script only makes hunger slower, any ideas why?

hook.Add("hungerUpdate", "NoHunger", function(ply, en)
if ply:Team() == "TEAM_OOC" then
return true
end
end)
this only makes hunger super slow

i tried returning false and had the same problem

local noHungerTeams = {
  [TEAM_PRIVATE] = true,
  [TEAM_OOC] = true,
  [TEAM_VOIDLING] = true,
}

hook.Add("hungerUpdate", "NoHunger", function(ply, en)
if noHungerTeams[ply:Team()] then
return false
end
end)

local NoHunger = {
    [TEAM_OOC] = true,
    [TEAM_PRIVATE] = true,
    [TEAM_VOIDLING] = true,
}

hook.Add("hungerUpdate", "Remove Hunger", function(ply, energy)
    if (NoHunger[ply:Team()]) then
        return true
    end
end)

Seems to still make hunger very slow, is there a specific place i should put it?

After trying to further do it i still cant seem to get hunger to disable, even with the code above

is there an error at startup?
i ask cause modules are loaded BEFORE jobs are,
you may be seeing an error saying "table index is nil"

You could try manually overriding the hunger value in the hook:

local HungerWhitelist = { [TEAM_OOC] = true, [TEAM_PRIVATE] = true, [TEAM_VOIDLING] = true }

hook.Add("hungerUpdate", "HungerWhitelist", function(ply, energy)
if not HungerWhitelist[ply:Team()] then return end

ply:setSelfDarkRPVar("Energy", 100) -- Just set their energy to 100 for good measure.

return true
end)

i have the file in a autorun folder in darkrp modification and now that i look i am getting an error in console

error with "my code"
[ERROR] addons/darkrpmodification-master_gmchosting/lua/autorun/sv_hunger.lua:13: '=' expected near 'end'
1. unknown - addons/darkrpmodification-master_gmchosting/lua/autorun/sv_hunger.lua:0
error with Doctors code

it might have somthing to do with what joey said although

Okay so for anybody who wants to know how to do it

local function init()
NoHunger = {
    [TEAM_OOC] = true,
    [TEAM_PRIVATE] = true,
    [TEAM_VOIDLING] = true,
}
end
hook.Add( "Initialize", "some_unique_name", init )

hook.Add("hungerUpdate", "Remove Hunger", function(ply, energy)if (NoHunger[ply:Team()]) then
return true

end
end)

this disables hunger for certain teams

You really shouldn't be creating a global table

[joeyjumper]

you could do this

local NoHunger={}
local func=function()--function is called by the last 2 lines
NoHunger[TEAM_OOC] = true,
NoHunger[TEAM_PRIVATE] = true,
NoHunger[TEAM_VOIDLING] = true,
end
hook.Add("hungerUpdate", "Remove Hunger", function(ply, energy)
if (NoHunger[ply:Team()]) then
return true
end
end)

hook.Add("Initialize","Remove Hunger",func)--calls the function when the gamemode has finished loading
if player.GetAll()[1] then func() end--calls the function when the file is refreshed while players are on
we create the table when the file is loaded, but populate it when the gamemode has finished loading

[Ambient_14]

local noHunger = {}
local function init()
noHunger = {
    [TEAM_OOC] = true,
    [TEAM_PRIVATE] = true,
    [TEAM_VOIDLING] = true,
}
end
hook.Add("hungerUpdate", "Remove Hunger", function(ply, energy)if (noHunger[ply:Team()]) then
return true
end
end)
hook.Add( "Initialize", "Removehunger", init)
if player.GetAll()[1] then 
init()
end
Okay so I've done this but i don't think I've done it correct(i haven't worked with lua lists in a while and i wasn't sure what the difference between
local func=function()
and
localfunction init()
