Is there a way to have multi colored text using only one DLabel?
I didn't want to use 3 DLabels to do something like: I Like Potatos
The "I" in red, the "Like" in white and the "Potatos" in blue

I'm making a small deathmatch gamemode for mostly educational purposes

team.SetUp( 1, "Red Team", Color( 255, 99, 71, 255 ) )
team.SetUp( 2, "Blu Team", Color( 65, 105, 255, 255 ) )

That's kind of how my teams are created, but how can I add something so that players can't damage other players on their team? (stop friendly fire)

Thanks facepunch :D

[Nerdeboy]

[lua]function GM:PlayerShouldTakeDamage( ply, att )
return not (ply:Team() == att:Team())

Adding this to a serverside file will disable friendly fire.

My problem is that players on my server are getting an unhandled message for 'notify'

clientside:

usermessage.Hook("notify", function(msg)
     GAMEMODE:AddNotify(msg:ReadString(), 0, 5);
end);

serverside:

function Notify(ply, message)
	umsg.Start("notify", ply)
		umsg.String(message)
	umsg.End()
end

function PayDay( ply )
	Notify( ply, "Payday! You recieved $" .. JobSalaries[ply:Team()] .. "!")
end

Not sure what the problem is, it works fine for me.

well, if your talking to me, then the timer to get payday starts up on player spawn.

function GM:PlayerSpawn ( ply )
	local steamid = ply:SteamID()
	playerModel( ply )
	timer.Create( steamid .. "_jobtimer", 5, 0, function() PayDay( ply ) end )

I'd imagine you're testing this in singleplayer with NPC's or something other than actual players. If it's not a player, more than likely, it doesn't have a team. Since you're just trying to limit damage between two players if they're on the same team, add a check to see if the attacker (att) is a player.

I'm making a Pose Parameter stool for the beta but the control panel part isn't working and I can't figure out why. I make it using the faceposer as a base and didn't change anything that should keep it from working.

Here is my code:
[url]http://pastebin.com/sgmcFMXE[/url]

On line 159 there is a debug print like that gets called but nothing still gets added to the control panel.
Can anyone see if I'm doing anything wrong?

This is also my first stool so I probably have made quite a few mistakes..

Nope, multiplayer listen server. I jumped and instead of taking fall damage I got that error :x But thanks for the protip ill edit post with results

Does anyone have any knowledge for info_ladder_dismount? I have tried placing this entity all around a func_useableladder but i still can not get the player to "dismount" in the right direction (currently just falling off the ladder).

The reason is simple.

Look back at your error.

"Attempt call 'team', a nil value."

Now look at the code snippet that was given to you.

it uses Player:Team().

Now note that Player:Team() and Player:team() are different.

Lua is case-sensitive, and you're using the wrong case.

It used to work perfectly for retrieving the time of creation of e.g. cache files. But they broke recently and I don't think garry has fixed it in the beta either.

I aware that lua is case-sensitive and I already tried lower and upper case. Same error each time.

If you read his post, you'd see it confirmed exactly what I said. He's taking fall damage. Meaning, the attacker (att) is the world, and therefor, does not have a team. You need to check if the attacker (att) is a player.

But I've discovered that none of these work:

Either, v[1] or v[2] (or both) are nil. Check them.

I'm realy stuck here, first time using sql, and I have no clue what the hell I'm doing :P

Do a PrintTable on result to check what the structure of the return table is. I have never used SQLite myself, so I don't know what the return table looks like.

Thank you, finally got it working.

Is it possible somehow using ID, with NOT NULL and AUTO_INCREMENT on MySQLite? I've tried multiple options, but the ID stays at 0
