How to do a table of entities.

[ryanm2711]

I am trying to allow certain entities for certain teams but it does not work. Any ideas?

local AllowedTeamsForTardis = {
    [TEAM_CITIZEN] = true,
    [TEAM_COMPANION] = true
}

local TardisEntities = {
    ["sent_tardis"] = true,
    ["gmod_tardis"] = true
}

hook.Add("PlayerSpawnSent", "blocktardisfortimelord", function(ply, ent)
    if(AllowedTeamsForTardis[ply:Team()] && TardisEntities[ent]) then
        return true
    end
end)

Pretty sure that it should be "PlayerSpawnSENT" and not "PlayerSpawnSent".
SANDBOX/PlayerSpawnSENT

Yes, noticed that. Also my other one which is for VIP does not work and it has PlayerSpawnSENT as the hook. No typo there.

local VIPEntities = {
    ["gmt_instrument_piano"] = true,
    ["sfi_pkin"] = true
}

hook.Add("PlayerSpawnSENT", "vipentities", function(ply, class)
    if(VIPEntities[class] && VIPGroups[ply:GetNWString("usergroup")]) then
        return true
    end
end)

Make debug:
When hook called print ply, ply usergroup, class, VIPEntities[class] (returns boolean) and VIPGroups[ply:GetNWString("usergroup")] (returns boolean)

Figured it out.

local AllowedTeamsForTardis = {
    [TEAM_CITIZEN] = true,
    [TEAM_COMPANION] = true
}

local TardisEntities = {
    ["sent_tardis"] = true,
    ["gmod_tardis"] = true
}

hook.Add("PlayerSpawnSENT", "blocktardisfortimelord", function(ply, ent)
    if(AllowedTeamsForTardis[ply:Team()] && TardisEntities[ent]) then
        return true
    end
end)

Use one if for optimisation

if VIPGroups[ply:GetNWString("usergroup")] and VIPEntities[ent] then
print("No!")
return false
end

Thanks. I also tried doing it with teams but it seems to just pop up with table index is nil?

local AllowedTeamsForTardis = {
    [TEAM_CITIZEN] = true,
    [TEAM_COMPANION] = true,
}

local TardisEntities = {
    ["item_ammo_357_large"] = true,
    ["item_ammo_357"] = true,
}

hook.Add("PlayerSpawnSENT", "blocktardisfortimelord", function(ply, ent)
    if AllowedTeamsForTardis[ply:Team()] && TardisEntities[ent] then
        return true
    end
end)

Maybe you have different function to return player's team for your gamemode. As I know, DarkRP has.

[Deathking15]

playerentity:Team() returns a number value, used by Garry's Mod's own team system.

DarkRP may use it for all of DarkRP's roles, but it returns a number, not a string. Find the comparative team each name is supposed to work with.

This may help: team.GetAllTeams

Was me being very silly. TEAM_CP did not exist. In my head it did though :P
