VGUI Help

[calzedz]

Hey guys, im making a gamemode and the vgui is giving this error: CTC\gamemode\cl_init.lua:5: attempt to index global 'vgui' (a nil value)

heres the code:

local frame = vgui.Create( "Frame" )
frame:SetPos( ScrW() / 4, ScrH() / 4)
frame:SetSize( 500, 500 )
frame:PostMessage( "SetTitle", "text", "Coose Team" )
frame:SetVisible( true )
frame:ShowCloseButton ( false )
frame:MakePopup ()

local team_1 = vgui.Create( "Button", frame )
team_1:SetPos( 100, 430 )
team_1:SetSize( 100, 50 )
team_1:SetText( "Noobs" )
team_1.DoClick = function()
frame:Close()
RunConsoleCommand( "team_1" )
end

local team_2 = vgui.Create( "Button", frame )
team_2:SetPos( 300, 430 )
team_2:SetSize( 100, 50 )
team_2:SetText( "Combine" )
team_2.DoClick = function()
frame:Close()
RunConsoleCommand( "team_2" )
end

You are calling the vgui function with nil parameters.

local frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
frame:SetPos( ScrW() / 4, ScrH() / 4) 
frame:SetSize( 500, 500 )
frame:PostMessage( "SetTitle", "text", "Choose Team" )
frame:SetVisible( true )
frame:ShowCloseButton ( false )
frame:MakePopup ()

local team_1 = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame )
team_1:SetPos( 100, 430 )
team_1:SetSize( 100, 50 ) 
team_1:SetText( "Noobs" )
team_1.DoClick = function()
frame:Close()
RunConsoleCommand( "team_1" )
end

local team_2 = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame )
team_2:SetPos( 300, 430 )
team_2:SetSize( 100, 50 ) 
team_2:SetText( "Combine" )
team_2.DoClick = function() 
frame:Close()
RunConsoleCommand( "team_2" )
end

[lua] local frame = vgui.Create( "Frame" ) [/lua]

it should be

[lua] local frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" ) [/lua]

[lua] local team_1 = vgui.Create( "Button", frame )[/lua]

It should be

[lua] local team_1 = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame ) [/lua]

Also if you need any help look here [url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Guide_to_Derma[/url].

Same error :/

[WhiteFox08]

Are you trying to parent it to the panel with , frame?
If so use [lua]team_1:SetParent(frame)[/lua]

instead of doing vgui.Create("DButton", frame)

Still giveing:
CTC\gamemode\cl_init.lua:5: attempt to index global 'vgui' (a nil value)

Code now:

function set_team()

local frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
frame:SetPos( ScrW() / 4, ScrH() / 4)
frame:SetSize( 500, 500 )
frame:SetTitle( "Coose Team" )
frame:SetVisible( true )
frame:ShowCloseButton ( false )
frame:MakePopup ()

team_1 = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame )
team_1:SetPos( 100, 430 )
team_1:SetSize( 100, 50 )
team_1:SetText( "Noobs" )
team_1:SetParent(frame)
team_1.DoClick = function()
frame:Close()
RunConsoleCommand( "team_1" )
end

team_2 = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame )
team_2:SetPos( 300, 430 )
team_2:SetSize( 100, 50 )
team_2:SetText( "MingeBags" )
team_2:SetParent(frame)
team_2.DoClick = function()
frame:Close()
RunConsoleCommand( "team_2" )
end

function frame:Paint()
surface.SetDrawColor( 130, 130, 130, 255 )
surface.DrawRect( 0, 0, frame:GetWide(), frame:GetTall() )
end

function team_1:Paint()
surface.SetDrawColor( 0, 255, 0, 255 )
surface.DrawRect( 0, 0, team_1:GetWide(), team_1:GetTall() )
end

function team_2:Paint()
surface.SetDrawColor( 255, 255, 0, 255 )
surface.DrawRect( 0, 0, team_2:GetWide(), team_2:GetTall() )
end

end

What am i doing wrong?

[BastinkaLive]

Are you running it serverside?

AFAIK vgui's are all clientside only.

Yea its client side

I'll try and load it in my Garrysmod, get back to you in a bit.
E:
[lua]function set_team()

local frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
frame:Center()
frame:SetSize( 500, 500 )
frame:SetTitle( "Coose Team" )
frame:SetVisible( true )
frame:ShowCloseButton ( false )
frame:MakePopup ()

team_1 = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame )
team_1:SetPos( 100, 430 )
team_1:SetSize( 100, 50 )
team_1:SetText( "Noobs" )
team_1.DoClick = function()
frame:Close()
RunConsoleCommand( "team_1" )
end

team_2 = vgui.Create( "DButton", frame )
team_2:SetPos( 300, 430 )
team_2:SetSize( 100, 50 )
team_2:SetText( "MingeBags" )
team_2.DoClick = function()
frame:Close()
RunConsoleCommand( "team_2" )
end
end[/lua]

Works fine for me, I just removed the paint functions.
