When you make changes to client side code it does this.

Either restart the map or make it only define the variables values if the object hasn't already been defined.

[brandonj4]

Yeah, TTT wasn't made to be "lua refreshed".
This is a simple workaround you can use to edit the HUD in real time.

1. Open terrortown/gamemode/lang_shd.lua
2. Add this after line 5: [QUOTE]if LANG then return end[/QUOTE]
3. The top of that file should look like this: [QUOTE]if LANG then return end
LANG = {}[/QUOTE]

That is very messy code in your first post I can't really help you without it being cleaned up

[jit26]

Thank you for the improved code layout I will fix it for you

Wait wut, my code is nothing like that. Mine is the way you put it, not with all that keyword shit.

Idk, might be a copy + paste bug.

and I use the TTT that comes with the game or server.

[ShadowRanger]

Couldn't you just replace the code with the original terrortown code? That way the code should actually work with no problems because its genuine, you know... lol

Haven't you even read the post?
I want to have ranks on my scoreboard, but it don't work because I keep getting lua errors if I make more ranks than I have already.
