My text error - Developers - Facepunch Forum

I get this error when I type "sv_gravity 100" in my text box Code: [lua]local RconCmdPnl = vgui.Create( "DFrame" ) -- Creates the frame itself RconCmdPnl:SetPos( 50,50 ) -- Position on the players screen RconCmdPnl:SetSize( 300, 300) -- Size of the frame RconCmdPnl:SetTitle( "Testing Derma Stuff" ) -- Title of the frame RconCmdPnl:SetVisible( true ) RconCmdPnl:SetDraggable( true ) -- Draggable by mouse? RconCmdPnl:ShowCloseButton( true ) -- Show the close button? RconCmdPnl:MakePopup() -- Show the frame RconCmd = vgui.Create("DTextEntry", RconCmdPnl) RconCmd:SetPos( 5 , 50 ) RconCmd:SetSize( 250, 25 ) RconCmd:SetText("Enter rcon command here") RconCmd.OnEnter = function() RunConsoleCommand(tostring(RconCmd:GetValue())) end [/lua] [code]RunConsoleCommand: Command has invalid characters! (sv_gravity 100 (' ')) The first parameter of this function should contain only the command, the second parameter should contain arguments.[/code] Thanks, Justin

Its just what the function description says You are trying to run RunConsoleCommand("sv_gravity 100") but what you have to instead run is RunConsoleCommand("sv_gravity", "100")

Yeah, RunConsoleCommand requires you to separate the arguments to the concommand as separate arguments for the function. Instead, if you just want to run the string as a whole, you can do this: [code]LocalPlayer():ConCommand( RconCmd:GetValue() )[/code]

Thank you dude [editline]11:47PM[/editline] Wait, if I had this in my Super Admin menu on my server it will on run on the player himself, I want it to run as the server, any help with that? Such as if you were to do - rcon say "Hello" in it remotely, I want it so you can enter for example, "say Hello" and it prints in the chat "Console: Hello" since it's run from the server. I want the command to be run from it, help, thx.

p.s. Use RunConsoleCommand on the client instead of concommand.

[lua]// On the client local RconCmdPnl = vgui.Create( "DFrame" ) -- Creates the frame itself RconCmdPnl:SetPos( 50,50 ) -- Position on the players screen RconCmdPnl:SetSize( 300, 300) -- Size of the frame RconCmdPnl:SetTitle( "Testing Derma Stuff" ) -- Title of the frame RconCmdPnl:SetVisible( true ) RconCmdPnl:SetDraggable( true ) -- Draggable by mouse? RconCmdPnl:ShowCloseButton( true ) -- Show the close button? RconCmdPnl:MakePopup() -- Show the frame RconCmd = vgui.Create("DTextEntry", RconCmdPnl) RconCmd:SetPos( 5 , 50 ) RconCmd:SetSize( 250, 25 ) RconCmd:SetText("Enter rcon command here") RconCmd.OnEnter = function() RunConsoleCommand("myrcon" , table.concat(string.Explode(" " , tostring(RconCmd:GetValue())) , ",")) end // Then on the server concommand.Add("myrcon" , function(ply , cmd, args) if !ply:IsSuperAdmin() then return end game.ConsoleCommand(args[1].."\n") end )[/lua] Should work.

Well, this is the error I get [code] autorun/TextBox.lua:3: attempt to index global 'vgui' (a nil value) [/code]

[QUOTE=Justin37111;18125672]Well, this is the error I get [code] autorun/TextBox.lua:3: attempt to index global 'vgui' (a nil value) [/code][/QUOTE] Because vgui doesn't exist server-side. You're running the client part on the server.

Then if I put this on the server then wtf? autorun/server? when it should be autorun/clientside for the derma but the concommand has to be within the that file located clientside, so wtf?

The part I commented as server code needs to be run on the server and client code on the client.

Yes, I know, but errr....how? It's all in the same file, or can I take the concommand and put it in autorun/server?

You can put it in autorun/ and put [lua]if ( SERVER ) then include("file.lua") end put code here[/lua] And it will work for client, for security put [lua]if !ply:IsAdmin() then return end[/lua] at the top of the code!

Just for later reference, doesnt sv_gravity only take decimals between 0 and 1?

[QUOTE=Jamie932;18172223]Just for later reference, doesnt sv_gravity only take decimals between 0 and 1?[/QUOTE] No. Default value is 600. Negative values make you float, the higher it is, the stronger the force of gravity.

It must be some other command I am thinking of then. Sorry. ;(

Why must we revive old threads?

"old" is not one day ago. Learn more about Facepunch before telling us what we can and can't do >_<

Well, why don't you let me keep my opinion on old, this thread is done, dead. Simple as that. You think you always have a say in something. 1 day can be considered old, it's an opinion not a fact.

Now I don't mean to be rude, nor do I have anything against you, but don't be egoist Justin. This thread doesn't belong to you but to the community, it will stay here so people who have a similar problem can search it and find it. That someone could use it instead of having to create a new thread supports that purpose.

Unless things get extremely out of hand and the only solution is for a mod to delete it :wink:

Mods don't delete threads here :0

Yes, I like looking at threads and just seeing what they have inside, I looked through all 60 pages or how many there are now one day and just read all the threads to see what was inside just in case I ever ran into that problem. But Crazy Quebec is right.
