Syntax Error in Singplayer but not Multiplayer?

Garry's Mod coding
#1

This is my code, the aim of this is to create a scoreboard that shows the staff members that are online currently.
Everything works completely fine in Singplayer, but in Multiplayer it won’t open and returns a syntax error. If anyone can offer some help, it would be much appreciated.

o.o? line 95 is the comments

#3

Exactly. It’s kind of weird. I’m honestly not even sure where to start. I’ve had multiple people look over it and they’ve found no solution.

#4

Have you tried running it through parsers? Maybe they can find the real problem.

		if !IsValid(traverse_f2_scoreboard) then

What’s with the use of ! ?

#5
#6

It was used in a tutorial to make a scoreboard that followed the same kind of idea that I was going for.
EDIT: And it worked with the scoreboard I made.

#7

What do you mean? He’s checking if its not valid then if its not he creates it

#8

arkonaluaknowledge = 0

#9

While, that operator is not part of regular Lua (afaik), it’s just something they added in gmod because it exists in most languages so people who are used to it can use it.

#10

Ahhh

#11

Most likely you accidentally put some symbol there that was lost when you copypasted the code.

Try copying it back over your code from your post and make sure that you don’t have that file anywhere else like another addon.
