EXP/Money system help...

[c-unitV2]

that wasn't helpful, that was just you saying how unhelpful i was

[Science]

How is it not useful even though it answers his questions.

[cis.joshb]

Science caters to all of the crappy lua noobs/bad community owners that no one else will help. Such as Toby Biggs. But he can code, some.

Really it's so easy to beat Science that it's not even funny anymore

You bumped a 3 days old thread to write something not funny?

I think its rather funny.

That's you. Who's counting you in?

[c-unitV2]

calm down Freze

[jrj996]

I got an easier solution, don't use NWInt's unless you want a laggy ass gamemode, it's okay to use 1 not so much 2 but here: Nothing special either.
[lua]
local meta = FindMetaTable("Player")

function meta:SetDollars(amount)
self.Dollars = amount
umsg.Start("sendDollars",self) -- Oh and Clientside make a usermessage hook to recieve this amount.
umsg.Long(amount)
umsg.End()
self:SetPData("Dollars",amount)
end

function meta:GetDollars()
return self.Dollars or 0
end

function meta:AddDollars(amount)
self:SetDollars(self:GetDollars()+amount)
end

function meta:TakeDollars(amount)
self:SetDollars(math.Max(0,self:GetDollars()-amount))
end
[/lua]

He's counting himself, clearly. Stop causing problems.

I think im gonna get to like you around here.

local money = um:ReadLong()
end)
--Simple way of returning the players money clientside, can be used in huds and everything.

money is local to the usermessage hook making it useless

It can save ram, it's optimizing a gamemode. Unless thats returning the variable, whatever.

But at least you're feeding the GC.

I didn't realize you were coding his gamemode, maybe he's doing a lot of lines of code? Or maybe someones learning from this thread. 4 bytes being saved is better than 0.

[Zaubermuffin]

You're not using local because it "saves memory", you are using local because it is a proper style of writing code. After all, there's no reason that your variables lie around, wasting space and probably impact other code. Coming from C++, I expect all variables to be nil at the beginning of a block (except global and member ones, of course, but those are rather rare) and to become nil at the end of one.

Also, I'd see that as a snippet - "Here, do with money whatever you want", not as complete code.

let me clean up his code real quick then

local money = nil

usermessage.Hook("sendDollars", function( um )
money = um:ReadLong()
end)

money = nil

Lol, was that a trolling attempt there Freze? And he even got banned the same day clearly a troll.
And how was that not funny?

If you only came to facepuch to troll then go find a troller forum where you can discuss who and how to troll please.

It was for use inside the hook you idiot, not a complete code.
It can be used for many things inside the hook such as Huds and dermas.
