Server Owner In-Server - Is This Right?

[jcspears2014]

What I want to do is make a script that sends a message to the clients on my server telling them if I'm in the server or not (I know that they can just press the tab key). I got stuck after this started looking wrong.

if player("PlayerNameHere") = false then
	Msg("PlayerNameHere is gone.")
else
	Msg("PlayerNameHere is here."
end

If it is right then how would I make it resend the message again and again with intervals of 120 seconds between each message?

[lua]
local ID = "STEAM_0:0:16636723"

for _, v in ipairs( player.GetAll() ) do
if v:SteamID() == ID then
Msg(v:GetName().." is here.\n")
else
Msg(v:GetName().." is gone.\n")
end
end
[/lua]

Dave, you missed a ) near the last end. And you aren't even concat'ing his name.

And, chatprint doesn't take tables.

Thank you, I'm going to add that code now.

It won't work by the way.

Then I'll attempt to tweak it to make it work.

[lua]

local mySteamID = "your steamid here"

timer.Create("NotifyPlayersOfMe", 120, 0, function()
local found
local name
for _,v in ipairs(player.GetAll()) do
if(v:SteamID() == mySteamID) then
found = true
name = v:Nick()
end
end

if(found) then
for _,v in ipairs(player.GetAll()) do v:ChatPrint(name.." is on the server!") end
else
for _,v in ipairs(player.GetAll()) do v:ChatPrint(name.." is not on the server!") end
end
end)
[/lua]
Fixed it.

If Dave is correct I learned something new, thanks!
