Creating an addon that needs a folder in data.

My structure is basically addonname/data/foldername and addonname/lua

Inside a lua file I have:

if not file.IsDir( "foldername", "DATA" ) then
	error("Data files can't be found!")
end

This error occurs even though I have addonname/data/foldername, as stated above, however if I manually move foldername into garrysmod/data, then the error doesn't appear and it seems to be fine

Not really an issue at all, since I can just make the error message say to manually move files, but am I doing something wrong here or is it just gmod being weird?

I guess it's because the DATA path doesn't take into account mounting, try using GAME instead, giving the folder name as "data/foldername"

[Author.]

Leave the data files in garrysmod/data. I don't really see a reason to have it anywhere else.

It would work perfectly as long as you're not trying to write files to that specific addon/data folder - file.Write won't let you write anything but .txt files in the garrysmod/data/ folder, but just checking the contents of the addon/data folder using mounted folders should be fine.

.dat files too

[Author.]

Kinda breaks the point of the data folder, though. You're better of leaving it in the addon.

[Rubat]

Also you wont be able to upload those custom files to workshop.

[QUOTE=Willox;46377941]Show all related net library usage.[/QUOTE]

Basically:

[lua]net.Receive("SendText", function(length, client)
local typ, name, text = net.ReadString(), net.ReadString(), net.ReadString()
chat.AddText(Color(0, 76, 153), typ, Color(114, 175, 237), name, text);
end);

if !SERVER then return; end

Plugin.Chat = {};

util.AddNetworkString("SendText");

function GM:PlayerSay(ply, text, teamChat)
net.Start("SendText");
net.WriteString("[IC]");
net.WriteString(tostring(ply:Name()));
net.WriteString(": "..text);
net.Send(META:FindPlayersInArea(ply:GetPos(), META.Defaults.Radius.Normal));
return "";
end [/lua]

Just a really quick question, is there an up-to-date round based gamemode base? Been searching and all I could find was outdated fretta. Will I just have to make my own round functions? I probably have not searched enough..

Hmm. I'm adding an addition to a medal system im making and I needed to network the player death hook so I could run some client side code. Its giving me this:

 attempt to index local 'pl' (a nil value) 

[B]Serverside[/B]

util.AddNetworkString("NetDeath") --not very creative ://

hook.Add("PlayerDeath", "NetTheMedal", function(pl)

	net.Start("NetDeath")
	net.Send(pl)

end)

[B]Clientside:[/B]

net.Receive("NetDeath", function(len, pl)

 if pl:IsValid() and pl:IsPlayer() then
 	
 	AddNewMedal("Medal Unlocked", "gun_menu/combatribbon.png", 250, 84, "gun_menu/ribboneffect.wav")
 	
 end


end)

[Author.]

net.Send only takes one argument which is the Entity to send the networked information to.

Aaand you just edited it out :v:

Yeah sorry >_< pasted older code and changed it

You are using net library wrong

How do I call stuff like this from another lua file?

local ROUNDS = {}

ROUNDS.round = 0

function ROUNDS.CurrentRound()
    return self.round
end

function ROUNDS.Begin()
    PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Round " .. self.round .. " has begun." )
end

It's just a bit of code for an example, how would I call or access it's variables and functions from another file?

[_Entity]

-snip. Completely misread!

[AnonTakesOver]

[QUOTE=_Entity;46380589]you could use net.WriteTable(ROUNDS.round) and send the table index "round" which will be the current round im sure ?[/QUOTE]

What? No?
I want to call functions from this file from another lua file? Why would I use net?

[Author.]

Remove the local?..

[AnonTakesOver]

[QUOTE=Author.;46380756]Remove the local?..[/QUOTE]

Oh, it appears the file isn't being included properly, I tried that before, that was my first guess, but I think it's just a bug with something else in my code, thanks.
I'm an idiot, I had that file saved in a different gamemode -_-

Oh right I misread badly, my apologies! One last thing, How can you check if a player is in a certain area?

[Scarface3353]

Question: Can i call a hook inside another hook? like, on PlayerSpawn call another hook

[|Legion|]

In pointshop, by _Undefined I only have one model that works and the rest are errors... Could I please have a fix to this?..

[Scarface3353]

[QUOTE=|Legion|;46381465]In pointshop, by _Undefined I only have one model that works and the rest are errors... Could I please have a fix to this?..[/QUOTE]

Are you sure the model is the right one and you have all of them downloaded? check again the ITEM.Model thing, make sure you type .mdl instead of .mld

[Sereni]

[QUOTE=Scarface3353;46381459]Question: Can i call a hook inside another hook? like, on PlayerSpawn call another hook[/QUOTE]

Yes you can. Depending on the context use [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/gamemode/Call"]gamemode.Call[/URL] or [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/hook/Call"]hook.Call[/URL]

[|Legion|]

[QUOTE=Scarface3353;46381488]Are you sure the model is the right one and you have all of them downloaded? check again the ITEM.Model thing, make sure you type .mdl instead of .mld[/QUOTE]

Made sure, still errors...

[Scarface3353]

[QUOTE=|Legion|;46381506]Made sure, still errors...[/QUOTE]

May i see the .lua of any of the errors?

[AnonTakesOver]

How do I cancel the sounds of a certain player, like walking and swimming etc?

[Scarface3353]

-snip- nevermind, found something better

Not sure if it works for swimming, but this works for walking and such.
