What do you need help with? V3

[QUOTE=nick_9_8;39386840]I've been trying to make a [B]clientside[/B] command where I can activate a console command with a chat command. Let me show you what I mean:

test_chicken pizza 

How can I make it so I can type !testcommand chicken pizza and then my chosen first half of the console command runs (chosenfirsthalfconsolecommand)_chicken pizza

Thanks for any help, hope this made sense.[/QUOTE]

I don't quite understand what you're asking for but I came up with this:
[lua]
hook.Add("OnPlayerChat", "ChatCommands", function(ply, text, teamChat, plyIsDead)
local txtTbl = string.Explode(" ", text)
if #txtTbl != 3 then return end
if txtTbl[1] != "!run" then return end
RunConsoleCommand(txtTbl[2], txtTbl[3])
end)

concommand.Add("ChatCommandTest", function(ply, cmd, args)
local num = tonumber(args[1])
if !num then return end
print(num)
end)

Edit your post and use [.lua][./lua] without the '.' tags.

[QUOTE=Mecha;39387148]Soo the fix was only to add a Dpanel? wow im really blind, thank you![/QUOTE]

Yep :P
To parent derma items you dont have to do PANEL:SetParent(otherpanel), you can easily just do:

local panel = vgui.Create("Panel", parentingpanel)

I explained it like an idiot.

Basically, I play on a server that uses custom commands to force a player to a team. For example:

team_terrorist [player]

puts the player to terrorist,

team_betrayer [player]

puts the player to betrayer, etc etc.

So I want to be able to type in my chat !team terrorist exampleplayer and it will run that console command clientside.

Sorry about my awful explaining and thanks so much for your help :D

Anyone help me with this error?

It's a fallout SWEP pack I'm at least trying to get these to shoot but I'm having some troubles

[ERROR] lua/weapons/fo3_plasmarifle/shared.lua:63: attempt to call method 'CanPrimaryAttack' (a nil value)
  1. unknown - lua/weapons/fo3_plasmarifle/shared.lua:63

This happens for every one of them btw, just with each weapon's respectable name.

I'm also getting an error for all of the weapons coming from a base file I believe.

SWEP (fo3_alienblaster) is derived from non existant SWEP (fo3_stef_base) - Expect errors!

[QUOTE=NintendoEKS;39387534]Bump, seeing as though 90% of the time my questions and problems go unanswered, read my post above.[/QUOTE]

Your issue is that the player is removed before the next query is running, calling the player object. If you set any variables you need in locals outside of the query it will work fine.

[editline]28th January 2013[/editline]

[QUOTE=thejjokerr;39388512]You can't maintain the player object, just maintain the values you want to use later. So in the PlayerDisconnect hook you would do something like savePlayerData(steamid, ip, money, etc)

Also I don't really get why you would SELECT the players' row every time you save, as you don't seem to be doing anything with the retrieved data.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for ninjaing me, but regarding the SELECT statement, it looks like he's doing it to prevent 3 SQL errors if the user isn't in the database (which they could technically all be combined into one query, and an ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE)

COuld someone tell me where i would put the function ents.Create(), in init.lua or cl_init.lua or shared.lua,

No matter where i put it, it wont work, in init.lua it returns nothing period

It's serverside.

[Science]

It depends how you are using it.

If you are simply typing ents.Create() into a file.
You wont get anything.

I have it setup to do local buy = ents.Create("<Jeep Class") , even my print i put in there for debuging do nothing when its in the init.lua

Pretty crapy code, i know, im still new to lua xD

[Matt-]

You could tell us some of the many errors you're console is telling you, I can see so many clientside functions used in the serverside code. You're also doing:

[lua]icon.DoClick = function() LocalPlayer():ConCommand("say "..command) end[/lua]

which in no way will even get close to calling the serverside function:

[lua]concommand.Add("rp_buycar",BuyVehicle)[/lua]

[havejack]

I know, im gonna change that, its the concommand that is not working period.

[Matt-]

ents.Create( "vehicle_jeep" )

will not work, as that's not a real entity, your console is also probably telling you that. should be "prop_vehicle_jeep"

[Netheous]

I can't make my entity transparent after using it, I've set the rendermode to TRANS_ALPHA and I am doing self:SetColor(Color(255,255,255,255-Clr.a)) where Clr.a starts with 255 on init and is being reduced by 25 each usage.
