Displaying GUI to only one player?

[theVendetta]

How do I display a GUI to a single player, via a function for my gamemode?

ATM this is what I'm trying to use:

[Lua]
function PaintPlayer( pl )
if LocalPlayer() != pl then return end
--GUI code here
end
[/Lua]

..and its failing :(.

Make the player run the client console command? That won't make it open for everyone.

Yes you would probably use a console command. This might help :

It's not probably..if you want a derma to open for a single player only then use

[lua]RunConsoleCommand("concommandher")[/lua]

No one will see it but the people who meet the criteria to run it.

Thank you lol, I was having a mental blank with this one :(, but how do I send an entity using it?

If you don't want to use a console command you can also do a UserMessage and hook that into a function which displays the gui.

My code...

[lua]
function DuelProcess( Sub, tar )
print( Sub )
print( tar )
tar:ConCommand("recieve" )

function recieve(pl,cmd,args)
--In this bit the "Sub" player entity is the player not the "tar" like its meant to

end
concommand.Add("recieve",recieve)

end
[/lua]

Any help?

Everything is fine, the tar and Sub are the correct players when I print them, it just doesn't show the GUI to the right person!

What is the factor that makes someone the "right person"? We can't help you if we don't know.

The function is receiving the players as it's supposed to, but for some reason the concommand always goes to the "Sub" player, no matter what I put there.

Not sure if you already saw it, but if you didn't:
[QUOTE=PortalGod;26389167]The way I would do that is like this:
[lua]
function DrawStuff()
if(LocalPlayer():GetNWBool("ShouldDraw")) then
//Woo
end
end
hook.Add("HUDPaint", "DrawStuff", DrawStuff)
[/lua]

Then, on the server, all you would have to do is <Player>:SetNWBool("ShouldDraw", true) on the server.
Don't forget to set it to the default on init.[/quote]
