Chaotic cow's "I need help with Lua" thread

[Pollyzoid]

Nope, it's

draw.RoundedBox( Number Bordersize, Number X, Number Y, Number Width, Number Height, Table Colour )

[Donkie]

oh

[Chaotic Cow]

Actually it's "Roundness of the corners" and not "Border Size"

New Problem...


Trying to get Target name,health,team, and anything else to pop up in the center of the screen.



function targethud
local client = LocalPlayer
if client:Alive() then

 local pos = self.Owner:GetShootPos()
 local ang = self.Owner:GetAimVector()
 local tracedata = {}
 tracedata.start = pos
 tracedata.endpos = pos+(ang*100)
 tracedata.filter = self.Owner
 local trace = util.TraceLine(tracedata)
 if trace.HitNonWorld then
    target = trace.Entity
   
   local TarHealth = Entity.Health()
   
   draw.SimpleText(TarHealth,"ScoreboardText", 950, 7, Color(255,255,255,255))
   
 end

Looks like you forgot an end

You have 2 ifs and only 1 end.

can you explain that?

Still doesn't work.

You are using couple variable names that do not exist
Also, use code tags in future

Fixed:

Code: [Select]

function targethud() --Don't forget the brackets
  local client = LocalPlayer()  --LocalPlayer() is a function
  if client:Alive() then
    local pos = client:GetShootPos() --self.Owner does not exist, self is only used in meta functions
    local ang = client:GetAimVector()
    local tracedata = {}
    tracedata.start = pos
    tracedata.endpos = pos+(ang*500) --Short distance so I increased it a bit
    tracedata.filter = client 
    local trace = util.TraceLine(tracedata)
    if trace.HitNonWorld and trace.Entity and trace.Entity:IsValid() and trace.Entity:IsPlayer() then --Pile of checks, just to be sure
      target = trace.Entity

      local TarHealth = target:Health() --"Entity" was not defined anywhere

      draw.SimpleText(TarHealth,"ScoreboardText", 950, 7, Color(255,255,255,255)) --I suggest you use font "TargetID" instead of this one
    end
  end
end

Also, for the coordinates...
To make it more compatible for more resolutions, use multipliers and dividers with ScrW() and ScrH(), which both return game window's width and height, respectively...
ScrW()/2 would be half of the screen

Weird...still doesn't work.

Also would the ScrH -ScrW fix all my other stuff like health and time to fit? On Bigger resolutions/etc

How do I make  Health Bars? =[

[Dotmister]

using rounded boxes, or boxes. One for the actual bar, and one for where the bar would be if it was 100% (usually much darker)

I'm back! Trying out some Derma.

from

Code: [Select]

if client:Alive
to

Code: [Select]

if client:Alive()

EDIT:  For some reason it just started working. =\

I think it was because It was "DlistView" and not "DListView"

for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
     SheetItemOne:AddLine(v:Nick(),v:Frags()) // Add lines
 end


How would I make that display "Team/Rank" instead of "Frags"?

[thingshappen]

I'm prolly missing something really vital here, but I looked it up.

Code: [Select]

for k,v in pairs(player.GetAll()) do
   SheetItemOne:AddLine(v:Nick(),v:Team()) // Add lines
 end

GetAll returns this table

And according to this it should return the team.
