Post the rest of your code.

[Gastav3]

function PlayerWante( ent, attacker, dmginfo, ply )
if ( ply:IsPlayer() ) then
if ply == TEAM_SWAT then dmginfo:GetAttacker()
then ply:RunConsoleCommand("say /wanted" .. tostring(dmginfo:GetAttacker())..
end
end
end

Ok this isent working either help please

[G4MB!T]

what do you mean it isnt working?

is there errors? is it simply not doing anything?

not hard to including a little information as to whats actually happening.

[SashaWolf]

If that is all the code you have, then of course it won't work.

[G4MB!T]

also what is this?

[lua]if ply == TEAM_SWAT then attacker:GetAttacker ply.DarkRPVars.wanted[/lua]

thats almost as bad as
[quote][lua]PlayerWante( ent attacker, dmginfo, ply )[/lua][/quote]

oh just a heads up thats probably your problem.

seeing as you havent indicated in anyway what you are trying to achieve by this i cant help

[SashaWolf]

Op, try using this hook [URL="http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wiki/wiki.garrysmod.com/indexedfa.html"]here[/URL].

As an example, I wrote you an admin plugin.

Example:

chat.AddText(Color(255,255,255), "Sasha's L33t Admin plugin load3d")
function ouch(target, inflictor, attacker, amount)
    if (amount != nil || 0 && target != nil && attacker != nil && inflictor != nil) then
        if (target:IsPlayer() and attacker:IsPlayer()) then
            if (attacker:IsSuperAdmin() || attacker:IsAdmin()) then 
                chat.AddText(Color(255,255,255), "ADMIN ABOOSE ADMIN ABOOSE ".. attacker:GetName() .. " JUST ADMIN ABOOSED ".. target:GetName() .." WITH A ".. inflictor:GetName() .." AND INFLICTED "..amount.." DAMAGE ON HIM!  ANTI ADMIN ABOOSE MOD ACTIVATED!")
                attacker:Ignite(9999, 200)
            elseif (target:IsSuperAdmin() || target:IsAdmin()) then
                chat.AddText(Color(255,255,255), "OHH SHHIIIIIIIT, ".. attacker:GetName() .. " JUST SHOT AN ADMIN NAMED ".. target:GetName() .." WITH A ".. inflictor:GetName() .." AND INFLICTED "..amount.." DAMAGE ON HIM!  AUTO PLAYER RDM PUNISHMENT ACTIVATED!")
                attacker:Ignite(9999, 200)
            else
                chat.AddText(Color(255,255,255), "OUCH!  SOME BITCH NAMED ".. attacker:GetName() .. " JUST SHOT ".. target:GetName() .." WITH A ".. inflictor:GetName() .." AND INFLICTED "..amount.." DAMAGE ON HIM!")
            end
        end
    end
end
hook.Add("EntityTakeDamage", "da fuq u shootin at niqquh", ouch)

Run that on your server, and it will take care of all admin abuse, auto player punishment, and player damage logging.

[G4MB!T]

niqquh please..

good work on the example :P

[Gastav3]

function ouchi(target, inflictor, attacker, amount)
if (amount != nil || 0 && target != nil && attacker != nil) then
if (target:IsPlayer() and if target:Team() == TEAM_POLICE or target:Team() == TEAM_CHIEF then
if (attacker:IsPlayer() || attacker:IsPlayer()) then
hook.Call("PlayerWanted")

end
end
end
end
end
hook.Add("EntityTakeDamage", "make wanted", ouchi)

Ok, I think i've got some part right but making the attacker wanted is the problem at least i think

[quote][lua]if (target:IsPlayer() and if target:Team() == TEAM_POLICE or target:Team() == TEAM_CHIEF then[/lua][/quote]

seriously if you dont know how to code learn before coding.

thats not even the right syntax. you have an if where you dont need it and an unmatched parenthesis.

[lua]if (target:IsPlayer() and (target:Team() == TEAM_POLICE or target:Team() == TEAM_CHIEF)) then[/lua]

As much as we want to help, we're not going to spoonfeed you the answer. You clearly don't know enough about lua scripting to understand what we are telling you.

Personally, I don't like this feature idea anyway. It sounds kinda stupid.

It seems just like the system GangWarsRP uses.. Go get your own ideas.

Don't forget, Garry changed how dmginfo on certain hooks works.
This works:

function GM:EntityTakeDamage(ent, dmginfo)
	local inflictor = dmginfo:GetInflictor()
	local attacker = dmginfo:GetAttacker()
	local damage = dmginfo:GetDamage()
end

This doesn't (the old method):

function GM:EntityTakeDamage(ent, inflictor, attacker, damage, dmginfo)
