lua/autorun/server/sv_init.lua

AddCSLuaFile("cl_frame.lua");
ulti.AddNetworkString( 'cmtomenu' )

hook.Add( "OnPlayerSay", "OpenCrateGui", function( ply, text, team )
	
	if (string.sub(text, 1, 6) == "!crate") then
		net.Start( 'cmtomenu')
		net.Send( ply )
        return ""
	     end
		
end )

lua/autorun/client/cl_init.lua

function opencratemenu()

local Frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
			
			Frame:SetPos( 100, 100 )
            Frame:SetSize( 500, 500 )
            Frame:SetTitle( "Startup" )
            Frame:SetVisible( true )
            Frame:SetDraggable( false )
            Frame:ShowCloseButton( true )
            Frame:MakePopup()
			
    end
end

You spelt Receive wrong - [URL="https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/net/Receive"]net.Receive[/URL]

You don't need to use the net library for a chat hook. If you use OnPlayerChat, it's already clientside. Just create the menu there.

:snip: Read Snappy's code below, it checks LocalPlayer() like I forgot to

By the way, the hook you had before was called OnPlayerSay, which doesn't exist. I'm guessing you meant PlayerSay, but even if you used that, it's far less work to use a clientside chat hook instead.

That hook is called anytime the player receives a message, so you'll need to add a check to make sure the LocalPlayer is the one who sent the message.

hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "OpenCrateGui", function( ply, text, team, isdead )
	
	if (string.sub(text, 1, 6) == "!crate") && ply == LocalPlayer() then -- added an extra check
		local Frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
		Frame:SetPos( 100, 100 )
		Frame:SetSize( 500, 500 )
		Frame:SetTitle( "Startup" )
		Frame:SetVisible( true )
		Frame:SetDraggable( false )
		Frame:ShowCloseButton( true )
		Frame:MakePopup()
		return true -- surpress the message
	end
	
end )

I always forget that. Thanks Snappy

hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "OpenCrateGui", function( ply, text, team )
	
	if (string.sub(text, 1, 6) == "!crate") && ply == LocalPlayer() then 
		local Frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
		Frame:SetPos( 450, 100 )
		Frame:SetSize( 500, 500 )
		Frame:SetTitle( "" )
		Frame:SetVisible( true )
		Frame:SetDraggable( false )
		Frame:ShowCloseButton( true )
		Frame:MakePopup()
		return true 
	end
	
end )

I tried adding colour but there was an Error, it works perfectly now. But I have no idea how to colour the box without interfering with the other Function?

Can you not just put Frame:SetColor(255, 255, 255, 255)?

[QUOTE=Thane;50683992]Can you not just put Frame:SetColor(255, 255, 255, 255)?[/QUOTE]

No

function Frame:Paint( w, h )

-- paint shit

end

[Thane17]

[QUOTE=timz9;50683995]No

function Frame:Paint( w, h )

-- paint shit

end

[/QUOTE]

Ah that's right, draw a rounded box with the same size and height as the Frame, and then color it.

[jacobcooper18]

[QUOTE=timz9;50683995]No

function Frame:Paint( w, h )

Problem is, with my code, you cant have a FUNCTION inside of a function o.o

[timz9]

[QUOTE=jacobcooper18;50684020]Problem is, with my code, you cant have a FUNCTION inside of a function o.o[/QUOTE]

All you'd be doing is overriding the Paint method on the Frame. [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/PANEL/Paint"]Check here[/URL] then try it out.

You can just put it above the

return true

[jacobcooper18]

hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "OpenCrateGui", function( ply, text, team )
	
	if (string.sub(text, 1, 6) == "!crate") && ply == LocalPlayer() then 
		local Frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
		Frame:SetPos( 450, 100 )
		Frame:SetSize( 500, 500 )
		Frame:SetTitle( "" )
		Frame:SetVisible( true )
		Frame:SetDraggable( false )
		Frame:ShowCloseButton( true )
		Frame:MakePopup()
		
		function panel:Paint( w, h )
	       draw.RoundedBox( 8, 0, 0, w, h, Color( 0, 0, 0 ) )
               end
		
		return true 
	end
	
end )

I added that, but it still errors. So, I can have functions inside of hook functions? o.o

[MysteryPancake]

It's pretty obvious what the problem is. You never set any value to panel.

[editline]11th July 2016[/editline]

It should be

function Frame:Paint(w,h)
