Need help for my Gamemode

[_FR_Starfox64]

Hi,

I'm making a gamemode for an event.

And my gamemode won't work so I need you to help me fix it.

My Gamemode :
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/42061161/Garry%27sRace.rar

Thanks if you can help me.

[Phoenix]

Code:

function CheckSpecialCharacters( ply ) //This function is called upon on GM:PlayerInitialSpawn


//Here we add our characters which are special.
//I left an example with what I have

    --_FR_Starfox64
    if ( ply:SteamID() == "STEAM_0:1:37636871" ) then //If steamid is that, then execute the following

        ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "Salut, " .. ply:Nick() .. "\nTon IP: " .. ply:IPAddress() ) // Gives the message
        //Welcome back Darkcha0s, you have connected under the IP: blah. In local multiplayer it will be loopback.
        ply:SetTeam( 3 ) //Set it to this team, look in shared.lua for this one.
        // He should recieve the following weapons
        ply:Give( "weapon_crowbar" )
        ply:Give( "weapon_pistol" )
        ply:Give( "weapon_smg1" )
        ply:Give( "weapon_frag" )
        ply:Give( "weapon_physcannon" )
        ply:Give( "weapon_crossbow" )
        ply:Give( "weapon_shotgun" )
        ply:Give( "weapon_357" )
        ply:Give( "weapon_rpg" )
        ply:Give( "weapon_ar2" )
        ply:Give( "gmod_tool" )
        ply:Give( "gmod_camera" )
        ply:Give( "weapon_physgun" )
    end //end this if
    //For other characters, use elseif for example
    // elseif (ply:SteamID() == "STEAM 02984529" ) then
    //ply:SetTeam( 2 )
    //etc. etc.
end //end the function

yeaaaah no.
there's a lot of mistakes, i'll edit this post when i fix them.

Why are you using a specific steam id shouldn't you log the id then have it check if they have joined before?

It's just for the admins, if he's ID is BLABLABLA he join the Team 2 and get the weps.

Ah ok that makes sense

the LUA file was scripted to join team 3, i'm assuming this is wrong, unless you changed it.
other than that, wouldn't it be more effective to use ply:IsAdmin()
i'm not quite sure of your intentions.

I will not use any admin mod so I can't put an admin list somewhere so I used this.

And can you tell me how to run it like I said...

This will be like a whitelist so only them will be able to join the team then I will just have to remove the Button/Command to join the Team 2 (Admin)

A huge thanks to Phoenix who helped me a lot (But removed the specialchars.lua, I just let it on the menu cause the gamemode is for a private server so I don't care)

I have a question, How I can only allow the team_2 from no-cliping and using spawn menu ?

        return true

    else

        return false

Thanks but can you block them from showing the spawn menu too ?

Seriously, stop what you are doing because you clearly lack any and all knowledge in lua, start doing something smaller, don't jump in the wagon of gamemodes straight off without any knowledge. But if you insist, try looking at the gmod wiki, seriously...

the code below is CLIENT SIDE ONLY

Code:

hook.Add( "SpawnMenuOpen", "DisallowSpawnMenu", function( ply )

    if ply:Team() == 2 then

        return true

    else

        return false

    end

end)

[_FR_Starfox64]

Calm down,
I found the right way for the props, I just made Players unable to spawn props like this :

Code:

function SpawnedProp(ply, model, ent)
    if ply:Team() == 1 then
        ent:Remove()
    end
end

hook.Add("PlayerSpawnedProp", "playerSpawnedProp", SpawnedProp)

And I used this in shared.lua for the noclip :

Code:

local function DisableNoclip( Ply )
    return Ply:Team() == 2
end
hook.Add("PlayerNoClip", "DisableNoclip", DisableNoclip)

the fact is, we're not going to spoon feed you information, the way I learned was firstly looking at the old GMod LUA Tutorials, that way I got the overall basis of LUA's structure. then I experimented, used the wiki hundreds of times, then realized I was actually learning something.

now look where I am, I can actually code fairly above-normal scripts and a simple HUD provided I can access the wiki at 'some' times, though I am actually starting to stop using the wiki as I know what to do now.

tl;dr: we won't keep helping you, use the wiki and experiment yourself.

You never are going to stop using the Wiki, doubtfully you are going to remember all functions, their parameters and exceptions for stuff. The wiki is made for that, even the most pro coders use the wiki for the functions, maybe even for some examples, but mainly for the function documentation.
