What do you need help with? V3

[hellguy]

[TTT]
I have a code that tells who left the server and their steamid (made by science), how do I make it also tell the player's karma?

util.AddNetworkString("PlyDis")
 
hook.Add("PlayerDisconnected","playerdisconnected", function(ply)
    net.Start("PlyDis")
        net.WriteString(ply:Name())
        net.WriteString(ply:SteamID())
    net.Broadcast()
end)
else
net.Receive("PlyDis", function(len)
    local name, id = net.ReadString(), net.ReadString()
    chat.AddText( Color(255,0,0), name or "nil", Color(255,255,255)," Has Left The Server. SteamID: ", Color(255,0,0),id or "nil")
end)
 
 
end

I'm trying to do [lua]local data = ply:GetPData( "autokick", {} )[/lua] but I'm getting an error saying [lua]bad key to string index (number expected, got string)
[/lua]

What am I doing wrong?

Post an exact error, don't paraphrase your errors.

[QUOTE=RobyYe;39461638]So I need some help with the TTT prep round sound. His code is

resource.AddFile("sound/selected_b01.wav")
 
local function PlaySounds()
	BroadcastLua('surface.PlaySound("selected_b01.wav")')
end
hook.Add("TTTPrepareRound", "Sounds", PlaySounds)

But for some reason it's not working so we need a little help. Thanks in advance.

Do you need the rest of my script? It's not affected by any other lines though.

Yes just post the rest of the script.

I added a hook for ULib to call in the kick command.

[Matt-]

The problem is ULX related, I'm pretty sure ply isn't actually a player object. Is there any documentation for ULib?

[Agent766]

[url]http://ulyssesmod.net/docs/files/ULib_readme-txt.html[/url]

I'll look through it and try to figure it out. Thanks for getting me on the right track.

Does anyone know how to make it where an attack with a SWEP registers on a certain frame of the swing animation?

[Agent766]

[lua] local t = ply:GetPData( "autokick", {} )
MsgN("Value: " .. t .. " Type: " .. type(t))[/lua]
[lua]Value: table: 0x2d619438 Type: string[/lua]

What's going on here...?

[editline]3rd February 2013[/editline]

Turns out SetPData converts the tables to strings. I fixed it by converting them to JSON before storing them.

[editline]3rd February 2013[/editline]

[lua] local pdata = ply:GetPData( "autokick", "{}" )
MsgN( "Value: " .. pdata .. " Type: " .. type(pdata) )
local t = util.JSONToTable(pdata)[/lua]

Value: {} Type: string
lua/autoban.lua:23: bad argument #1 to 'JSONToTable' (string expected, got table)[

Lua hates me.

You need to define 'query' before 'if CONNECTED_TO_MYSQL then', as when it's used on the line with 'local Result', it doesn't exist.

[lua]function DB.Query(query, callback)
local query
if CONNECTED_TO_MYSQL then
if DB.MySQLDB and DB.MySQLDB:status() == mysqloo.DATABASE_NOT_CONNECTED then
DB.ConnectToMySQL(RP_MySQLConfig.Host, RP_MySQLConfig.Username, RP_MySQLConfig.Password, RP_MySQLConfig.Database_name, RP_MySQLConfig.Database_port)

query = DB.MySQLDB:query(query)
local data = data or {}
query.onData = function(Q, D)
data = data or {}
data[#data + 1] = D
end

query.onError = function(Q, E)
ErrorNoHalt(E)
if callback then
callback()
end

query.onSuccess = function()
if callback then callback(data) end
end
query:start()

local Result = sql.Query(query)

That should fix it.
