DarkRP Editing

[[ApS] Elf]

Hiya all,

Recently I've been making various modifications to DarkRP. I'm trying to create a 'Wanted' style effect, but with 'Marked' and only viewable by one class.

I added this to various files:

cl_init.lua:
[lua]local function DrawDisplay()
for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if v:GetNWBool("zombieToggle") == true then DrawZombieInfo(v) end
if v:GetNWBool("wanted") == true then DrawWantedInfo(v) end
end[/lua]

to

[lua]local function DrawDisplay()
for k, v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if v:GetNWBool("zombieToggle") == true then DrawZombieInfo(v) end
if v:GetNWBool("wanted") == true then DrawWantedInfo(v) end
if v:GetNWBool("assassin") == true then DrawAssassinInfo(v) end
end[/lua]

and

[lua]function DrawAssassinInfo(ply)
if not ply:Alive() then return end

local pos = ply:EyePos()
if not pos:RPIsInSight({LocalPlayer(), ply}) then return end

pos.z = pos.z + 14
pos = pos:ToScreen()

if GetGlobalInt("nametag") == 1 then
draw.DrawText(ply:Nick(), "TargetID", pos.x + 1, pos.y + 1, Color(0, 0, 0, 255), 1)
draw.DrawText(ply:Nick(), "TargetID", pos.x, pos.y, team.GetColor(ply:Team()), 1)
end

draw.DrawText(LANGUAGE.assassin, "TargetID", pos.x, pos.y - 20, Color(255, 255, 255, 200), 1)
draw.DrawText(LANGUAGE.assassin, "TargetID", pos.x + 1, pos.y - 21, Color(255, 0, 0, 255), 1)
end[/lua]

in between the DrawWantedInfo and DrawZombieInfo functions. I then added this to main.lua:

[lua]function PlayerAssassin(ply, args)
local t = ply:Team()
if not (t == TEAM_ASSA) then
Notify(ply, 1, 6, string.format(LANGUAGE.must_be_x, "assassin", "/target"))
else
local p = FindPlayer(args)
if p and p:Alive() then
p:SetNWBool("assassin", true)
for a, b in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
b:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTCENTER, string.format("RAWRGH", p:Nick()))
timer.Create(p:Nick() .. " assassintimer", 10000, 1, TimerUnassassin, ply, args)
end
CfgVars["assassintarget"] = p:Nick()
else
Notify(ply, 1, 4, string.format(LANGUAGE.could_not_find, "player: "..tostring(args)))
end
end
return ""
end
AddChatCommand("/target", PlayerAssassin)

function PlayerUnAssassin(ply, args)
local t = ply:Team()
if not (t == TEAM_ASSA) then
Notify(ply, 1, 6, string.format(LANGUAGE.must_be_x, "assassin", "/untarget"))
else
local p = FindPlayer(args)
if p and p:Alive() and p:GetNWBool("assassin") then
p:SetNWBool("assassin", false)
for a, b in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
timer.Destroy(p:Nick() .. " assassintimer")
end
CfgVars["assassintarget"] = ""
else
Notify(ply, 1, 4, string.format(LANGUAGE.could_not_find, "Player: "..tostring(args)))
end
end
return ""
end
AddChatCommand("/untarget", PlayedUnAssassin)

function TimerUnassassin(ply, args)
local p = FindPlayer(args)
if p and p:Alive() and p:GetNWBool("assassin") then
p:SetNWBool("assassin", false)
for a, b in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
b:PrintMessage(HUD_PRINTCENTER, string.format(LANGUAGE.assassin_expired, p:Nick()))
timer.Destroy(p:Nick() .. " assassintimer")
end
else
return ""
end
end[/lua]

Yes, I did add all the right terms in the language_sh.lua file, but I constantly get spammed with this error:

ERROR: GAMEMODE:'HUDPaint' Failed: includes/modules/draw.lua:144: bad argument #1 to 'len' (string expected, got nil)

This happens as soon as you choose the class, though when using /target the message does print to the center of the HUD (I've not tested to see if a sign comes up above the target's head yet, however).

Any ideas?

Yes, don't use DarkRp.

LANGUAGE.assassin is either not a string or nil.

[QUOTE=Gbps;18494671]LANGUAGE.assassin is either not a string or nil.[/QUOTE]

[lua]assassin = "Marked",[/lua]

That's set in language_sh.lua, so it's a string and isn't nil. Thanks for your suggestion, however.

Any other ideas?

ERROR: GAMEMODE:'HUDPaint' Failed: includes/modules/draw.lua:144: bad argument #1 to 'len' (string expected, got nil)

Means that that function in draw.lua wanted a string and was given a nil value. The only two places you use a function from the draw library is,
[lua] draw.DrawText(ply:Nick(), "TargetID", pos.x + 1, pos.y + 1, Color(0, 0, 0, 255), 1) [/lua]and
[lua] draw.DrawText(LANGUAGE.assassin, "TargetID", pos.x + 1, pos.y - 21, Color(255, 0, 0, 255), 1) [/lua]

And since I can assume ply:Nick() is not nil, the only other possible thing could be LANGUAGE.assassin.

In response to this, I changed the two lines to:
[lua]draw.DrawText("Marked", "TargetID", pos.x, pos.y - 20, Color(255, 255, 255, 200), 1)
draw.DrawText("Marked", "TargetID", pos.x + 1, pos.y - 21, Color(255, 0, 0, 255), 1)[/lua]

But the error still floods the screen... Maybe there is another file which includes these which could set off a draw function...

Edit: Ah, hang on. I think I've found the error is coming from:
[lua] if LocalPlayer():GetNWBool("helpAssassin") then
draw.RoundedBox(10, 10, 10, 560, 130, Color(0, 0, 0, 255))
draw.RoundedBox(10, 12, 12, 556, 126, Color(51, 58, 51, 200))
draw.RoundedBox(10, 12, 12, 556, 20, Color(0, 0, 70, 200))
draw.DrawText("Assassin Help", "ScoreboardText", 30, 12, Color(255,0,0,255),0)
draw.DrawText(LANGUAGE.assassinhelp, "ScoreboardText", 30, 35, Color(255,255,255,255),0)[/lua]

Let me see if these draws exist.

Edit2: In fact, could it be this here:
[lua]if LocalPlayer():Team() == TEAM_ASSA and not LocalPlayer():GetNWBool("helpAssasin") then
draw.RoundedBox(10, 10, 10, 460, 110, Color(0, 0, 0, 155))
draw.RoundedBox(10, 12, 12, 456, 106, Color(51, 58, 51,100))
draw.RoundedBox(10, 12, 12, 456, 20, Color(0, 0, 70, 100))
draw.DrawText(LANGUAGE.assasin_target, "ScoreboardText", 30, 12, Color(255,0,0,255),0)
draw.DrawText(LocalPlayer():GetNWString("target"), "ScoreboardText", 30, 35, Color(255,255,255,255),0)
end[/lua]

Edit3: Yes, it was that last bit of coding I pasted, I only had one s in assassin, instead of two. Thank you for your help!
