Help with my npc lua

[Bluecrest]

Ok guys, I suck at lua i'm a noob at it. I've tried my best of doing an lawyer, that unarrests you when you pay it.
I know little lua i use templates to help me and try and gets some codes of other addons. I need to know how i can spawn it as a sent instead of just spawning it by position of map. I need to know if these scripts are correct, I will be happy if someone helps me out.
I just want to learn from my mistakes, and I want it to work for my friend's darkrp gmod server.

Clientside:

[lua]local function myMenu()

local DFrame1 = vgui.Create("DFrame")
DFrame1:SetSize(413, 189)
DFrame1:SetPos(105, 47)
DFrame1:SetTitle("Lawyers4U")
DFrame1:SetSizable(true)
DFrame1:SetDeleteOnClose(false)
DFrame1:MakePopup()

local DButton2 = vgui.Create("DButton",DFrame1)
DButton2:SetSize(121, 58)
DButton2:SetPos(367, 137)
DButton2:SetText('$2000 ARE YOU MAD!')
DButton2.DoClick = function() end

DButton1 = vgui.Create("DButton",DFrame1)
DButton1:SetSize(113, 58)
DButton1:SetPos(133, 138)
DButton1:SetText('Get me out of here!')
DButton1.DoClick = function( ply )
if (ply:CanAfford(2000) == true) then ply:Unarrest() end

local DLabel1 = vgui.Create("DLabel",DFrame1)
DLabel1:SetPos(111, 93)
DLabel1:SetText(Hello i'm a lawyer, i can get you out of here in no time! But it will cost you $2000.)
DLabel1:SizeToContents()

end

usermessage.Hook("ShopNPCUsed",myMenu) --Hook the menu, so we can use it Serverside[/lua]

Serverside:

[lua]function ENT:Initialize( ) --This function is run when the entity is created so it's a good place to setup our entity.

self:SetModel( "models/humans/group01/female_01.mdl" ) -- Sets the model of the NPC.
self:SetHullType( HULL_HUMAN ) -- Sets the hull type, used for movement calculations amongst other things.
self:SetHullSizeNormal( )
self:SetNPCState( NPC_STATE_SCRIPT )
self:SetSolid( SOLID_BBOX ) -- This entity uses a solid bounding box for collisions.
self:CapabilitiesAdd( CAP_ANIMATEDFACE | CAP_TURN_HEAD ) -- Adds what the NPC is allowed to do ( It cannot move in this case ).
self:SetUseType( SIMPLE_USE ) -- Makes the ENT.Use hook only get called once at every use.
self:DropToFloor()

self:SetMaxYawSpeed( 90 ) --Sets the angle by which an NPC can rotate at once.

end

function ENT:AcceptInput( Name, Activator, Caller )
if Name == "Use" and Caller:IsPlayer() then
umsg.Start("ShopNPCUsed", Caller) -- Prepare the usermessage to that same player to open the menu on his side.
umsg.End() -- We don't need any content in the usermessage so we're sending it empty now.
end
end[/lua]

Shared:
[lua]ENT.Base = "base_ai" -- This entity is based on "base_ai"
ENT.Type = "ai" -- What type of entity is it, in this case, it's an AI.
ENT.AutomaticFrameAdvance = true -- This entity will animate itself.

function ENT:SetAutomaticFrameAdvance( bUsingAnim ) -- This is called by the game to tell the entity if it should animate itself.
self.AutomaticFrameAdvance = bUsingAnim
end[/lua]

[lua ] [/ lua] tags please on your code.

[Bluecrest]

Done

If you're going to use these clientside

[lua]if (ply:CanAfford(2000) == true) then ply:Unarrest() end[/lua]

i suggest a checking on the server side to make sure they have the correct money and can get arrested so
[lua]
function _R.Player:CanAfford(money)
money = tonumber(money)
if !self:GetNWInt("money",0) == money then self:ChatPrint("Sorry you cannot afford") return end
end[/lua]
[lua]
function _R.Player:Unarrest(money)
if self:CanAfford(money) then
ply:ConCommand("Unarrestme")
end
end
[/lua]

[lua]
DButton1.DoClick = function() LocalPlayer():Unarrest(2000) end
[/lua]

The server side you should beable to do by your self

[Hyperion]

Just for the record you put ENT:AcceptInput() twice.

[Bluecrest]

Opps i will correct it looks like i pasted it twice.

BTW how do i spawn my npc?

[cis.joshb]

You need a SpawnFunction for it to show up in the Q-menu. Check Ricky's example SENT.

[Bluecrest]

Ok eeeerm do i've to change the file names.

[leet frog]

Here, Use this.

also change the vectors to the position you want by typeing "getpos" in your console.

[lua]
hook.Add("InitPostEntity","your_entitys_folder_name",function()
local angles = Angle(1.198000,-179.743011,0.000000)
local npc = ents.Create("your_entitys_folder_name")
npc:SetPos(pos)
npc:SetAngles(angles)
npc:Spawn()
end)[/lua]

Place this code in your init.lua folder

[Bluecrest]

what if i don't have an init.lua i only have Clientside, Serverside and Shared

If this is for a gamemode you need a init.lua make one

[Science]

[lua] local DLabel1 = vgui.Create("DLabel",DFrame1)
DLabel1:SetPos(111, 93)
DLabel1:SetText(Hello i'm a lawyer, i can get you out of here in no time! But it will cost you $2000.)
DLabel1:SizeToContents()
[/lua]

[lua]
DLabel1:SetText(Hello i'm a lawyer, i can get you out of here in no time! But it will cost you $2000.)
[/lua]

[B]No Quotation Marks[/B]

[Bluecrest]

So how am i going to make the init.lua?

[cis.joshb]

File-new?

[editline]22nd April 2011[/editline]

Such a plethora of mistakes. When I am on my comp I will fox it.

[Bluecrest]

I guess that this is too hard i can't do it ); Might aswell dump this

CL_INIT.LUA
[lua]
function myMenu()

local DFrame1 = vgui.Create("DFrame")
DFrame1:SetSize(413, 189)

DButton2.DoClick = function() --You need to close the menu here
DFrame1:Close()
end

end

DLabel1:SetPos(111, 93)
DLabel1:SetText("Hello i'm a lawyer, i can get you out of here in no time! But it will cost you $2000.") --This should be a string
DLabel1:SizeToContents()

end

usermessage.Hook("ShopNPCUsed", myMenu)
[/lua]

INIT.LUA
[lua]
function ENT:Initialize( ) --This function is run when the entity is created so it's a good place to setup our entity.

self:SetModel( "models/humans/group01/female_01.mdl" ) -- Sets the model of the NPC.
self:SetHullType( HULL_HUMAN ) -- Sets the hull type, used for movement calculations amongst other things.
self:SetHullSizeNormal( )

end

function ENT:AcceptInput( Name, Activator, Caller )
if Name == "Use" and Caller:IsPlayer() then
umsg.Start("ShopNPCUsed", Caller) -- Prepare the usermessage to that same player to open the menu on his side.
umsg.End() -- We don't need any content in the usermessage so we're sending it empty now.
end
end

--Now what I am adding
concommand.Add("paylawyer", function(ply, cmd, args)
if (ply:CanAfford(2000) == true) then ply:Unarrest()
end --ATTENTION. YOU NEED TO ADD SOMETHING TO REMOVE YOUR MONEY. I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH DARKRP SO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS.
end)

[/lua]

[zzaacckk]

You have to define a string by surrounding it in quotes.

[Bluecrest]

[lua] if ply:CanAfford(2000) then
ply:AddMoney(-2000)
ply:unarrest()
else
Notify(ply, 1, 4, "You cannot afford sorry.")
end
end
end) [/lua]

Can i add this?

[lua]hook.Add("InitPostEntity","your_entitys_folder_name",function()
local angles = Angle(1.198000,-179.743011,0.000000)
local npc = ents.Create("your_entitys_folder_name")
npc:SetPos(pos)
npc:SetAngles(angles)
npc:Spawn()
end)[/lua]

Do i add this in the bottom of the script and use getpos?

I also want to add at least 5 of them in diffrent posistions or make them as an entity
