hook.add doesn't work!

[Hellspawn]

[QUOTE=Wizard of Ass;28140283]Shut up.

For OP:

You may want to use a timer thats set to 8 seconds or so, it happens that PostInitEntity is being called before the derma/vgui library has been loaded completly.[/QUOTE]

Ok, but where do i put that timer? On top of the whole script or the line above the hook?

nevermind. sorry i just started with lua! D:

It's c-unit, what do you expect?

[QUOTE=Loures;28150990]It's c-unit, what do you expect?[/QUOTE]

what is c-unit? (im seriously a lua beginner)

[meka/sniper]

try changing the path of the file to the root lua folder for your addon < I'm assuming this is an addon>.
then add a new lua file in the root autorun call "rulestarter.lua" and put this in it :
[lua]
if SERVER then
print("Sending client the files \n");
AddCSLuaFile("autorun/rulestarter.lua");
AddCSLuaFile("da_rules.lua");
end

if CLIENT then
include( "da_rules.lua" )
end
[/lua]

from what i can tell, the problem is the code is never run on the server, so there's no way for the server to send the file to the client using the addcsluafile you have on the first line.

[Chocolate Unit]

AddCSLuaFile is a server sided function.

[editline]19th February 2011[/editline]

There is no need to AddCSLuaFile it if it is going in your autorun/client.

Isn't the rulestarter file supposed to go into the autorun folder instead of the root folder?
because of this:
"AddCSLuaFile("autorun/rulestarter.lua");"

[meka/sniper]

What i meant by that was just put into lua/autorun < i meant root in terms of just the autorun folder, not inside of a client or server folder>

Now then - the rest of you. Please, only post if you know what you're talking about. Nothing can be more annoying to a beginner than another beginner talking bullshit.
