Help, simple questions

[gomedun]

So, I am trying to integrate PointMod([url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?933261-PointMod-Earn-points-and-buy-items-with-them[/url]!) to a DarkRP server, and am trying to make a money printer kind of entity which will periodically give you points if you have one, I know i can use the ply:GivePoints() function in PointMod to accomplish this, but it didn't work.. so far I got this:

effectdata:SetOrigin(self:GetPos())
effectdata:SetMagnitude(1)
effectdata:SetScale(1)
effectdata:SetRadius(2)

end
[/lua] as my init, can somebody help me? (the rgenamount has been added)

[sweeneypaul]

what didnt work, any errors? (post errors if there are any)

[gomedun]

well it doesn't give me points

Fail you guys are blind lol

P.s

I can tell you i did something like that but it's not ply:GivePoints (You did v -_- [means give all players]) i did points bag and points printer something awesome ^_^

[QUOTE=gomedun;25491973]stuff[/QUOTE]

It doesn't have to go in to the entities, put this in gamemode/init.lua
[lua]
CreateClientConVar("rgenamount", 30, false, false)
local PointsToGive = GetConVarNumber("rgenamount")
timer.Create("GivePoints", 30, 0, function()
for _,ent in pairs(ents.GetAll()) do
for _,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if ent:GetClass() == "ent_generator" then
v:GivePoints( PointsToGive )
end
end
end
end)
[/lua]

[gomedun]

cubar, more help? this checks for the generator enitty right? what should the ent_generator code be?

[Cubar]

It's needs to be the entity's name in entities/entities

[gomedun]

ok.

[editline]22nd October 2010[/editline]

It works, but everyone gets points rather then just the owner..

[editline]22nd October 2010[/editline]

bump

[Cubar]

Try with and [lua]if ent:GetClass() == "ent_generator" and v:GetOwner() then [/lua]

[gomedun]

now it won't give no points at all

[Cubar]

Scrap that then just do
[lua]timer.Create("GivePoints", 30, 0, function()
..code.. self.Owner:GivePoints( PointsToGive )
end
[/lua]

In the entity
