i need a code pls help

[Trackster]

Use Functions/Player/Shared/getDarkRPVar
to get the information if a player is wanted, and when he is make a window like this on the picture with either textures or Category

[1Manuel]

my code:

addons/myaddon/lua/autorun/wantedhud

if Player:getDarkRPVar("wanted") then

surface.SetTextPos(580,876)
surface.SetTextColor(Color(255,0,0))
draw.DrawText("You are wanted!")
end

ERROR:
[ERROR] lua/client.lua:1: attempt to index global 'Player' (a function value)
  1. unknown - lua/client.lua:1

change addons/myaddon/lua/autorun/wantedhud

to
addons/myaddon/lua/autorun/client/wantedhud

you put it in autorun itself, which will make it execute on client and server. for server the player does not exist, so you get the first error.
and the second i dont know because i dont know your whole code

[LearningLua]

couldn't you just do "addons/myaddon/lua/autorun/cl_wantedhud"?

[Trackster]

you can do both. either make a client/server folder, or name them cl_ or sv_ but the folder option gives you a better overview of everything

@beaner can you contribute instead of disregarding everyone's comments? Would be more informative.

Your question is a yes or no question and I anwered with a no. Is that not enough? All files in lua/autorun will be run on both realms with no exceptions, adding "cl_" or "sv_" to the start of the file name doesn't do anything.

print(debug.getinfo(1).source, CLIENT, SERVER)

kinda have to disagree with that, because just to be sure, and to answer his question right i went into gmod and tryd it out. Made a file that uses clientside only functions and put it in autorun so its executed client and serverside. worked on client, obviously, server gaved errors. renamed the file.lua to cl_file.lua and it worked. n oserverside error, only clientside run. so...yea

[SneakySquid]

print(debug.getinfo(1).source, CLIENT, SERVER)
print(LocalPlayer())

The only way you can run a file Shared without errors, is by doing a simple:

if SERVER then return end

Same thing server side.

[Trackster]

then why did my test worked with cl_ and sv_?

[LearningLua]

That's a pretty neat trick thanks for sharing. I overlooked the fact that it was in the autorun folder @beaner

[1Manuel]

thanks to all the people who helped me

Code tags fix for Chrome

Custom CSS doesn't work for me neither

[Sodak]

Doesnt work for me, too.

But formatting the code would be easy in notepad++ or sublime after copying..

maybe facepunch need something like codeshare so a "live" feature

[Livaco]

Yeah, CSS code is still broken, i'm using Stylus right now for it.
