May aswell start this off, I have this function from a script that Add's XP when you kill an NPC/Player.

function AddEXP( ply, hitgroup, dmginfo )
	local attacker = dmginfo:GetAttacker()
	if attacker:IsPlayer() then
		if EXP_STOPATMAX == 1 and attacker:GetNWInt("CurLevel") == levelups[table.Count(levelups)] then return end
		attacker:SetNWInt("Exp",attacker:GetNWInt("Exp")+EXP_INC)
		
		if table.HasValue(levelups,attacker:GetNWInt("Exp")) then
			local leveln = 1
			for k,v in ipairs(levelups) do if v == attacker:GetNWInt("Exp") then leveln = k end end
			if leveln == table.Count(levelups) then PrintAll(attacker:Name().." has reached the maximum level!") 
			else PrintAll(attacker:GetName().." has now reached level "..leveln.."!") end
			attacker:SetNWInt("NextLevel",levelups[leveln+1])
			attacker:SetNWInt("CurLevel",levelups[leveln])
			attacker:SetNWInt("LevelNum",leveln)
			attacker:SendLua("surface.PlaySound(\"achievements/achievement_earned.mp3\")")
		end
		
	end
end

I'm needing a function so I can easily call ply:AddXP(amount of XP) or AddXP(ply, amount of XP) in my entire gamemode. I can see this

attacker:SetNWInt("Exp",attacker:GetNWInt("Exp")+EXP_INC)

I know this sets there XP, but does the code below check if there XP has gotten enough for the next level? That would be pretty annoying to include that every time I increase there XP.

question about xp

The problem with your code below is that it's checking if they have the exact amount of experience needed to level up. For example, if I have 900 xp, and need 1000 to level up, and killing this NPC gives me 100, then I will level up and everything works. But if killing the NPC gives me 180, I won't level up until I hit the next marker exactly.

Also, unrelated, but I recommend making EXP_STOPATMAX into a boolean instead of an integer.

Oh I see what you mean, just now with this script 1 hit = 1xp so I would never have found that bug. How should I go about doing it? I've never really messed with something like this before.

Just check if the value is equal to or greater than.

Fast question, is there a list of sounds in GMod somewhere?

Hey there. I just started Lua literally the other day and I need some stupid help from someone with half more of a brain than myself.

I'm making a really, really basic Derma panel so I can try and learn some Lua. I'm trying to make it so clicking the button will give me armour. That is literally all I need.

http://maurits.tv/data/garrysmod/wik...Guide_to_Derma

That's the link I'm using to make the script in.

Code:

local DermaPanel = vgui.Create( "DFrame" ) -- Creates the frame itself
DermaPanel:SetPos( 50,50 ) -- Position on the players screen
DermaPanel:SetSize( 1000, 900 ) -- Size of the frame
DermaPanel:SetTitle( "Testing Derma Stuff" ) -- Title of the frame
DermaPanel:SetVisible( true )
DermaPanel:SetDraggable( true ) -- Draggable by mouse?
DermaPanel:ShowCloseButton( true ) -- Show the close button?
DermaPanel:MakePopup() -- Show the frame

local DermaButton = vgui.Create( "DButton" )
DermaButton:SetParent( DermaPanel ) -- Set parent to our "DermaPanel"
DermaButton:SetText( "Give ammo." )
DermaButton:SetPos( 25, 50 )
DermaButton:SetSize( 150, 50 )
DermaButton.DoClick = function ()
    RunConsoleCommand( "givecurrentammo" ) -- What happens when you press the button
end

local DermaButton = vgui.Create( "DButton" )
DermaButton:SetParent( DermaPanel ) -- Set parent to our "DermaPanel"
DermaButton:SetText( "Give armour." )
DermaButton:SetPos( 200, 50 )
DermaButton:SetSize( 150, 50 )
DermaButton.DoClick = function ()
    RunConsoleCommand(  )
end

That's the script.

No reason to rate you boxes. You are trying to learn Lua/GLua. Though I will say you should of searched the wiki a little harder.

Player.SetArmor

If you think there might be a function for it there probably is. If it has to do with the player then search the Player library on the wiki.

Well you got to call it serverside though.

local ply = LocalPlayer() -- Sets the player using this script to the variable ply
local amount = 55 -- A variable called amount storing an integer to use with SetArmor function.

end

DermaButton:SetText( "Give armour." )
DermaButton:SetPos( 200, 50 )
DermaButton:SetSize( 150, 50 )
DermaButton.DoClick = function ()

        ply:SetArmor(amount) -- Player.SetArmor()  You change Player to the variable holding the LocalPlayer and insert the variable (or just a number) of the amount you want.

end

That's what I originally posted above, but I thought this derma script was Client sided? SetArmour is Server sided. I'm probably wrong but just a thought.

			ply:SendLua("surface.PlaySound(\"achievements/achievement_earned.mp3\")")

end

And got the bug that you mentioned. I'm not entirely sure on how to fix this, Line 6 is what checks right?

I also tested it by calling it with

concommand.Add("exp_setlevel",function(ply,cmd,args)
	if ply:IsAdmin() then
		AddEXP( ply, tonumber(args[1]) )
	end
end)
table.insert(chatcommands,{"setlevel","exp_setlevel"})

It works but my XP goes over the needed amount as you said it would.

It works but my XP goes over the needed amount as you said it would.

Instead check to see if the XP is greater than or equal to, not if it is exactly equal to. Also, do you need to store all of that information in NWInts. All you really need is one NWInt, since NextLevel and CurLevel are both based on LevelNum.. If the levelups table exists clientside, you can just get the rest of that information clientside as well.

**ArmageddonScr** · 2nd March 2012

you're trying to use SetArmor on the client. You have to use it on the server. In a shared file, this is what your code would look like.

if SERVER then 
    concommand.Add("setarmor",function(pl) 
       pl:SetArmor(100) 
    end) 
else
    --menu code here, and
    DermaButton.DoClick=function() 
       RunConsoleCommand("setarmor")

Is there a way to have multi colored text using only one DLabel?
I didn't want to use 3 DLabels to do something like: I Like Potatos
The "I" in red, the "Like" in white and the "Potatos" in blue

I'm making a small deathmatch gamemode for mostly educational purposes

team.SetUp( 1, "Red Team", Color( 255, 99, 71, 255 ) )
team.SetUp( 2, "Blu Team", Color( 65, 105, 255, 255 ) )

That's kind of how my teams are created, but how can I add something so that players can't damage other players on their team? (stop friendly fire)

Thanks facepunch :D

function GM:PlayerShouldTakeDamage( ply, att )
	return not (ply:Team() == att:Team())
end

Adding this to a serverside file will disable friendly fire.

I keep getting "[gamemodes\TestDeathmatch\gamemode\init.lua:176] attempt to call method 'team' (a nil value)(Hook: PlayerShouldTakeDamage)" in console when I try to take damage.

Also I can't figure out how to remove the default health/suit/ammo gui
