Beta garrysmod Sets NW Ints differently than normal gmod?

[cheiftiger]

Well, I currently have a fretta server that I am trying to add a level/exp system to.

I have the VGUI done, and I tested it on my single player and gave myself exp with this code

lua_run for k, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do v:SetNWInt("Exp", 5) end

It worked, for my exp bar went up.

I tried the same code on my dedicated server, that used beta gmod, and it gave me this error:

:1: bad argument #1 to 'SetNWInt' (string expected, got nil)

Please tell me the correct syntax I should use to fix this problem. Thanks

Are you trying to SetNWInt via console on the client? From what I know, you can only do it server-side.

[cheiftiger]

I'm using RCON, but yes.

I forgot to mention, I tried doing it through a gamemode (Lock N' Load) to where at the end of the round it gave you 2 exp and it constipated the gamemode and we had to wait like 20 seconds for a new round.

I'm not entirely sure, because I've never played with the beta gmod. (Didn't know there was one) but the only thing I can suggest, is running it in a server-side script to see what's wrong, and then try changing the gamemode to see if it's that. Sorry that I can't be much help.

Well maybe someone else can explain my dillema, thanks for your help though :)

lua_run doesn't work properly when ran in-game through rcon lua_run unless it's singleplayer don't ask me why but yea, either put a lua file in auto-run or use hlsw

Hlsw = in-game rcon
.

lua_run "for k, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do v:SetNWInt('Exp', 5) end"

never use "s or ;s in your code when doing a lua_run via rcon, and always wrap it in "s.

HLSW will format it right (you can use "), valve's console not.

That must be why in-game rcon fucks up for me instead of hlsw :P

try rcon "lua_run player.GetAll( )[1]:Kill( )", which is what I meant.

[cheiftiger]

Ok, I will try what Lexic said, I'll edit this post to show the results.

Ok, it didn't work. Here's what it says now:

rcon lua_run "for k, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do v:SetNWInt('Exp', 50) end" <- The exact command I entered

This is the error I got:

:1: unexpected symbol near '"for k, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do v:SetNWInt('Exp', 50) end"'

Any ideas now?

Nevermind, I didn't put the quotes in front of lua_run... it works now :D THANK YOU.

As expected,

rcon "lua_run player.GetAll( )[1]:Kill( )"
Unknown command "lua_run player.GetAll( )[1]:Kill( )"

[b]Edit: [/b]cheiftiger, what's your final command which works?
[b]Edit 2: [/b]Nevermind, this works:

rcon lua_run player.GetAll( )[1]:Kill( )
