Garrysmod CHAT TAGS - HELP!!

[levicheater]

I want to add chat tags for dark rp, but it didnt work:

local function AddToChat(msg)
local col1 = Color(msg:ReadShort(), msg:ReadShort(), msg:ReadShort())
local name = msg:ReadString()
local ply = msg:ReadEntity()
local col2 = Color(msg:ReadShort(), msg:ReadShort(), msg:ReadShort())
local text = msg:ReadString()
local rank_str, rank_col
if ply:IsSuperAdmin() then
rank_str = " [Superadmin]"
rank_col = Color( 255, 0, 0 ) -- red for example
elseif ply:IsAdmin() then
rank_str = " [Admin] "
rank_col = Color( 0, 255, 0 ) -- green
else
rank_str = ""
rank_col = Color( 255, 255, 255 )
end
if text and text ~= "" then
chat.AddText(col1, name, rank_col, rank_str, col2, ": " .. text)
if ValidEntity(ply) then
hook.Call("OnPlayerChat", nil, ply, text, false, ply:Alive())
end
else
chat.AddText(col1, name)
hook.Call("ChatText", nil, "0", name, name, "none")
end
chat.PlaySound()
end
usermessage.Hook( "DarkRP_Chat", AddToChat )

Whats wrong with this? i added it in cl_init.lua

its from an old facepunch thread....
help please

Also tell me how to add custom groups :D

[editline]23rd December 2012[/editline]

help :D

[Loriborn]

First off, stop with the ":D" please.

Secondly, post the entire cl_init.lua file in [ code ] brackets.

Thirdly, make sure that you indent properly, as it is, that looks horrendous and just looking at it I can see multiple little errors because it's just plain not-right lua syntax. For instance, ValidEntity was changed to IsValid pretty recently.

I'll ignore my unending hatred for DarkRP and help, but you need to post it in code brackets so it's even remotely readable.

When I said [ lua ] tags, it means but them in between [ lua ] and [ /lua ], without the spaces between the words 'lua' and the ends of the bracket, you'll get something like
[lua] this.
as you can see
it saves the style,
function( so its easy to read) [/lua]

[levicheater]

happy?

[Loriborn]

You totally don't understand lua at all and I recommend you don't try to set up a server, we have tons of DarkRP servers run by little kids that you can flock to that don't have issues like this. It's nice to know this is the quality of server owner that makes up Gmod still. There are a couple of issues with the code, first of all, the entire structure isn't indented which makes it a pain to read, secondly, the function isn't set up correctly at all, because you're missing like half of the ';'s and so on, thirdly, I'll fix it for you but please, I implore you, don't run a DarkRP server, or a server at all.

[Samg381]

@ Loriborn Pardon the accidental 'dissagree'. I completley agree with you.

[levicheater]

why would i post it here if i knew Lua? You're basicly saying everyone who's not good at lua cant run a dark rp server. I dont like that at all.

why dont u go play lego if you dont like the servers?

No he's saying we already have enough darkrp servers filled with people who can't code for shit.

Also samg381 you can just rerate the post

[levicheater]

0But why u say it on my thread? There are tons of questions such like how to make a job...

[levicheater]

So anyone ?
