hey i am making something, but the db is not creating; this is what i have so far [code] function DB.Init() sql.Begin() sql.Query("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS game_wallets('steam' TEXT NOT NULL, 'amount' INTEGER NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY('steam'));") sql.Commit() end function DB.StoreCredit(ply, amount) if not ValidEntity(ply) then return end if amount < 0 then return end local steamID = ply:SteamID() local r = sql.QueryValue("SELECT amount FROM game_wallets WHERE steam = " .. sql.SQLStr(steamID) .. ";") if r then sql.Query("UPDATE game_wallets SET amount = " .. math.floor(amount) .. " WHERE steam = " .. sql.SQLStr(steamID) .. ";") else sql.Query("INSERT INTO game_wallets VALUES(" .. sql.SQLStr(steamID) .. ", " .. math.floor(amount) .. ");") end ply:SetNWInt("credit", math.floor(amount)) end function DB.RetrieveCredit(ply) if not ValidEntity(ply) then return 0 end local steamID = ply:SteamID() local startingAmount = 1 local r = sql.QueryValue("SELECT amount FROM game_wallets WHERE steam = " .. sql.SQLStr(ply:SteamID()) .. ";") if r then ply:SetNWInt("credit", math.floor(r)) return r else -- No record yet, setting starting Credit to 1 DB.StoreCredit(ply, startingAmount) return startingAmount end end [/code] hope someone can help ;)
Are you calling the DB.Init function? If you do, is there an error? Try using sql.LastError if you're not sure what's going on.

Ok. Let's start from the top. The function to create the database is DB.Init(). Just declaring a function doesn't make it run. Are you making it run anywhere in your code?
[lua] hook.Add( "InitPostEntity", "makedb", DB.Init ) [/lua] Put that in there somewhere? It will run it when the server initializes
shall i put in init or cl_init or something? [editline]02:25PM[/editline] fuck i relised u had writ something abouv were u sed put that in there somewher but now i get this error gamemode\data.lua:1: attempt to index global 'DB' (a nil value)
Sorry i copy pasted your function name, put the name of the function you want to call where I put the ***'s hook.Add( "InitPostEntity", "makedb",*************** )
still get error
Perhaps at the top, put [lua]local DB = {}[/lua]
ok i dont get any errors anymore but still dose not add to database :S
