chat tags

[XxLMM13xXx]

So here is the working code...

local Tags = {}
Tags["superadmin"] = { Color( 255, 0, 119 ), "Owner", Color( 196, 29, 107 ) }
Tags["admin"] = { Color( 0, 136, 255 ), "Admin", Color( 6, 116, 212 ) }
Tags["globaladmin"] = { Color( 227, 39, 39 ), "Global-Admin", Color( 201, 34, 34 ) }
Tags["moderator"] = { Color( 187, 0, 255 ), "Moderator", Color( 153, 0, 209 ) }
Tags["trialmoderator"] = { Color( 149, 76, 176 ), "Trial-Mod", Color( 131, 64, 156 ) }
Tags["staffmanager"] = { Color( 0, 255, 153 ), "S-Manager", Color( 0, 224, 135 ) }
Tags["trusted"] = { Color( 255, 55, 255 ), "Trusted", Color( 188, 40, 255 ) }
Tags["vip"] = { Color( 255, 217, 0 ), "VIP", Color( 232, 197, 0 ) }
Tags["goldvip"] = { Color( 255, 149, 0 ), "GoldVIP", Color( 232, 135, 0 ) }
Tags["diamondvip"] = { Color(0, 229, 255), "DiamondVIP", Color( 0, 204, 227 ) }
Tags["developer"] = { Color(0, 33, 255), "Developer", Color( 255, 0, 0 ) }

local function AddChatTags( ply, msg, team, dead, prefixText, col1, col2 )

	if GAMEMODE.FolderName == "darkrp" then

		local text = {}
		local tag = Tags[ply:GetNWString("usergroup")]

		if tag then
			table.insert( text, tag[3] )
			table.insert( text, " [" )
			table.insert( text, tag[1] )
			table.insert( text, tag[2] )
			table.insert( text, tag[3] )
			table.insert( text, "] " )
		end

		table.insert( text, col1 )
		table.insert( text, prefixText )

		table.insert( text, col2 )
		table.insert( text, ": " .. msg )

		chat.AddText( unpack( text ) )

		return true

	end

end
hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "DarkRPChatTags", AddChatTags )

Now heres my edit...

local function AddChatTags( ply, msg, team, dead, prefixText, col1, col2 )
		local bktcolor = ply.LMMCTNPCPlayerSpawnBrkColor
		local bktleft = LMMCTNPCConfig.BracketLeft
		local bktright = LMMCTNPCConfig.BracketRight
		local tagcolor = ply.LMMCTNPCPlayerSpawnChatTagColor
		local tag = ply.LMMCTNPCPlayerSpawnChatTagText
		local plyname = ply:Nick()
		local textcolor = Color(255,255,255, 255)

		if GAMEMODE.FolderName == "darkrp" then
			local text = {}
			if ply.LMMCTNPCPlayerSpawnHasTag == true then
				tag = {tagcolor, tag, bktcolor}
			end

			if tag then
				table.insert( text, tag[3] )
				table.insert( text, " [" )
				table.insert( text, tag[1] )
				table.insert( text, tag[2] )
				table.insert( text, tag[3] )
				table.insert( text, "] " )
			end

			table.insert( text, col1 )
			table.insert( text, prefixText )

			table.insert( text, col2 )
			table.insert( text, ": " .. msg )

			chat.AddText( unpack( text ) )

			return true

		end
end
hook.Add( "OnPlayerChat", "DarkRPChatTags", AddChatTags )

Now the player can see his chat tag but no one else can.. with the first snip you can see it for everyone.. please help (ps i may just be tired and missing something thanks!)

Why on earth would you need to replace:

		local tag = Tags[ply:GetNWString("usergroup")] -- this

			if ply.LMMCTNPCPlayerSpawnHasTag == true then -- with that?
				tag = {tagcolor, tag, bktcolor}
			end

You should just bloody remake DarkRP...

[meharryp]

Ok first of all stop. You are doing this in what is possibly the most inefficient way possible. I don't know why you have changed the original code because that works fine and is pretty simple to config. Before you code anything else on this, think "is this actually needed? will people benefit from this? am I creating a solution to a problem that has already been solved? if so, am I doing it better than the existing solution?" People won't use your stuff if you make it worse than existing options, and you as a coder will never improve if you keep shitting up other peoples code.

This is not going to be a public addon. This is custom and will work fine. I asked for help not for judgement on wether people will want this. Thanks

It seems that you're remaking the DarkRP tags system. If it works fine why does it need to be changed?

As for why your code doesn't work, can you show us the code where you're setting all the player variables?

My bad, I saw 'DarkRP' and assumed it was from DarkRP.

But could you show us the code where you set the player variables (ply.LMMCTNPCPlayerSpawnChatTagText, etc.).

Thats serverside and no i cant show you but those vars are sending correctly thats not the problem the problem is its not broadcasting to everyone

[Gmod4phun]

If you cannot show the code then there realy is no point in trying to help you.

If it isn't broadcasting to everyone then it's quite clear it's [I]not[/I] sending correctly.

[XxLMM13xXx]

[QUOTE=Gmod4phun;50796421]If you cannot show the code then there realy is no point in trying to help you.[/QUOTE]

That code up there is all you should need.

Well the chat sends to everyone... However the tag does not its weird

[crazyscouter]

What's your point for changing it so we can maybe help

[editline]29th July 2016[/editline]

Show us where you are setting the player variables, because it seems like they aren't being set correctly. Not to mention it's silly to store those on the player in this basic sense

[QUOTE=XxLMM13xXx;50796363]Thats serverside and no i cant show you but those vars are sending correctly thats not the problem the problem is its not broadcasting to everyone[/QUOTE]

Player variables don't get sent to the client if you just store them like that. You need to network them. See [url]https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Net_Library_Usage[/url]

you need to stop replying here you are no help thanks

[crazyscouter]

Make sure the data is getting sent to all the players, not just yours. It accesses it on that realm, so it won't be inserted into the table for chat.AddText if the client can't find it.

[Gmod4phun]

If you realy are a developer (as your chat tag says), you are not a friendly and a good one. You should start listening to what people are telling you, otherwise you are going to look like a fool.

Whenever this guy makes a post I just see people giving him shit for it. I mean the majority of the responses he was getting were infact pretty rude. If he wants to change something or do it differently let him, don't shit on him for doing it his way. Ya'll need to chill.

Well, people are trying to give advice to him, tell him what to do in order to acheive what he wants, but he does not accept the help. He just keeps babbling things that dont make sense, rather than trying to solve his problem. It looks like he is the only one not willing to do it.
