What do you need help with? V3

Kidd, is that all of the code? If so, you can't call vgui.Create instantly, try hooking it to Initialize.

Edit: Never mind for the question, didn't even realize there was another page. Try hooking it.

[Kidd]

Works if I set up a concommand. Thanks for the help guys.

Hope I'm not posting in here too much, don't want to be greedy :v:

I had a round system but it failed to work (broken).

Does anybody have a round system that does this:

On round start, a 300 second countdown begins. The round can be forced to end if a certain team only has 1 player left in it. When this round ends, a 150 second break time begins. Players who were not in the round due to joining late will spawn here.

When the 150 second break timer ends, the 300 second countdown begins again.

I have been trying to do this all morning with no luck, so if anyone knows how to do anything here, please post! Many thanks.

I have a question on the net library.

I'm trying to send a table of data to the clients when a hook is called but I get an error saying the sendInfo function is nil. The tutorial on the wiki didn't show any good examples and I never used umsg before. So a good explanation would go a long way for me.

[lua]hook.Add("OnNPCKilled","Inform Murder Victims", sendInfo({"OnNPCKilled",victim, killer}))

util.AddNetworkString( "eventData" )

function sendInfo(tbl)
net.Start( "eventData" )
net.WriteTable(tbl)
net.Broadcast()

end[/lua]

[lua]
net.Receive( "eventData", addEvent )
function addEvent()
local tbl = net.ReadTable()
DermaListView:AddLine(tostring(os.date("%H:%M:%S")), myImage, tbl[2], tbl[2].." was killed by "..tbl[3],"123456789")
print("CALLED EVENT")
end

[/lua]

[lorde banana]

sendinfo has to be defined before the hook

yes your in luck. Since fretta was deleted i had to write my own, its pretty simple to use.

shared:

[lua]
timeLeft = CreateConVar( "gmwc_roundtime", "300", FCVAR_NOTIFY )
preTime = CreateConVar( "gmwc_pretime", "10", FCVAR_NOTIFY )
endTime = CreateConVar( "gmwc_endtime", "10", FCVAR_NOTIFY )

local time
local shift

ROUND_PREP = -1
ROUND_ACTIVE = -2
ROUND_END = -3
ROUND_STATE = -4

local function AllPlayers()
local players = 0
for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
if ValidEntity(v) && v:Alive() && v:Team() < 3 then
players = players + 1
end
end
return players
end

function PreRound()

SetGlobalInt( "timeLeft", CurTime() + preTime:GetInt() ) // set the pretime
ROUND_STATE = ROUND_PREP
time = CurTime() + preTime:GetInt()
shift = ActiveRound

if timer.Exists("CheckForPlys") then
timer.Destroy("CheckForPlys")

timer.Create("CheckForPlys", 1, 0, function()
if AllPlayers() < reqPlayers:GetInt() then
EndGame()
end
end)
timer.Start("CheckForPlys")
end
hook.Call("GM_PreRound")
end

function ActiveRound()
SetGlobalInt( "timeLeft", CurTime() + timeLeft:GetInt() ) // set the round time

time = CurTime() + timeLeft:GetInt()

if timer.Exists("CheckForPlys") then
timer.Destroy("CheckForPlys")
end

timer.Create("CheckForPlys", 1, 0, function()
if AllPlayers() >= reqPlayers:GetInt() then
PreRound()
end
end)
timer.Start("CheckForPlys")
end

function EndRound()
SetGlobalInt( "timeLeft", CurTime() + endTime:GetInt() ) // set the end time
ROUND_STATE = ROUND_END
time = CurTime() + endTime:GetInt()
shift = PreRound
hook.Call("GM_EndRound")
end

timer.Create("CheckForPlys", 1, 0, function()
if ROUND_STATE == -4 && AllPlayers() >= reqPlayers:GetInt() then
PreRound()
end
end)
timer.Start("CheckForPlys")

function ShouldEndRound()
return false
end

function RoundSchedule()
if ShouldEndRound() then
EndRound()
end
if time && CurTime() >= time then
shift()
end
end
hook.Add("Think", "RoundSchedule", RoundSchedule)

function SetRound(rnd)
// Perform msgs about round change
if rnd == ROUND_PREP then
PreRound()
elseif rnd == ROUND_ACTIVE then
ActiveRound()
elseif rnd == ROUND_END then
EndRound()
end
end

function GetRound() return ROUND_STATE end

if SERVER then

end

if CLIENT then
local ply = LocalPlayer()
function msgActive()
LocalPlayer():ChatPrint("Round has begun:")
end
hook.Add("GM_BeginRound", "msgActive", msgActive)

function msgEnd()
LocalPlayer():ChatPrint("Round has ended:")
end
hook.Add("GM_EndRound", "msgEnd", msgEnd)

function msgPrep()
LocalPlayer():ChatPrint("Round has prepared:")
end
hook.Add("GM_PreRound", "msgPrep", msgPrep)
end
[/lua]

draw time like this (client):

[lua]
//CLOCK\\
local time = GetGlobalInt("timeLeft")
local aTime = time - CurTime()
local dTime = math.floor( aTime )
local Display = string.ToMinutesSeconds( dTime )

if GetRound() == -4 then
Display = "0:0"
end

draw.DrawText( Display, text_font, xpos, ypos, color )
[/lua]

and there ya go. set your convars and it will handle the rest. Also note that mine uses a minplayers convar, so the round wont begin until there are enough players, and the time will remain 0:0 until the round begins, i also included a few example hooks on how you would call functions on round changes. Good luck.

Think is not a draw function. To make it support draw functions you need a 2D cam or a 3D2D cam.
[lua]
cam.Start2D()
--code
cam.End2D()
[/lua]

It is not recommended to do massive drawing in Think functions, though.
Use GM:HUDPaint() (or some other valid draw function) for this reason.

[ralle105]

You do realise HUDPaint is called a lot faster than Think right?

[G4MB!T]

you cant draw in think.

think is for thinking.

Draw/Paint/PaintOver/HUDPaint/RenderScreenspaceEffects is for painting

eek too much code to look through

so far every problem related to lua that i have seen recently is because people are trying to use variables that do NOT exist.

unless you have defined ply as a global (which is a stupid idea on the server) it will not exist.

also im pretty sure Tick is client side so just use LocalPlayer() instead of ply

Can someone give me a basic example on how net lib works? Show me what you would do serverside and clientside. Just need a small example. Like sending a table or whatever to the clients.

And how does receive work and how would I use a table or whatever that was sent.

I really want to learn to use net lib but kind of hard with a tutorial that is lacking on the wiki(unless I missed something.)

serverside:

[lua]
util.AddNetworkString( "myMessage" )

function StartMessage(msg)
net.Start( "myMessage" )
net.WriteString(msg)
net.Send( pl )
end
[/lua]

client:

[lua]
net.Receive( "myMessage", function( length, client )
print( net.ReadString() )
end )
[/lua]

correct me if I'm wrong, i haven't used the net library.. yet, but it seems fairly simple to use.
