Sample code:

[lua]require(“luaerror”)

lua_showerrors = CreateConVar(“lua_showerrors”, 1)

hook.Add(“LuaError”, “LE”, function(err) --Return anything other than nil to stop the standard error display
local var = lua_showerrors:GetInt()

if (var == 0) then
	return false
elseif (var == 1) then
	Msg(err)
	
	return false
end

end )[/lua]

Uhm, so this hides the lua errors?

#3

It can if you want it to.

#4

So many people want this. Nice work.

#5

So bad Lua coder can hide their mistakes now. :confused:

#6

They can hide the errors from themselves if they really want to.

#7

[lua]require(“luaerror”)

hook.Add(“LuaError”, “LE”, function(err)
error("!")
end)[/lua]

oh shit?

This is going to be so good for stoned to use in the lua console addon.

Another useful module is released

I already implemented it :smiley:

#10

Oh look, it’s gmod9’s error handling.

garrysmod/lua/includes/modules for the dll
garrysmod/lua/autorun/client for the lua file.

#13

Oh nose I don’t have an autorun file in the lua folder, what do I do :confused:

#14

Create it.

#15

all fine and stuff but when I open the file I don’t have a lua file to put into my newly made folders, just the a dll, cpp, and a “file h”

This module is not for you, Khyber.
It will serve you no purpose.

The original post. Put the code inside a Lua file and save it where FlapJack told you to.
